Dr. No

 P: Starts with gunsight, but with weird beepy noise, then the real theme

P: I forgot how unimpressive the credits are

A: There's our first dancing lady in the credits

P: Not looking particularly exotic

A: I like the literally smoking guns

P: The tech is really ordinary

A: Roll credits

A: Nice Mad Men set

P: I like how the biz is very white collar office not flashy

P: Some french game

A: I'll bet he uses he paddle so he doesnt spread covid

A: Friends with benefits? Charming sexism?

P: Demonstrating Bond's comm and of exposition.

P: The Americans are going to send things around the moon. Oh, and we drop Leiter's name. Now Bond gets in trouble for carring a light gun. He's used it for ten years. This gun is all the fancy stuff he gets this time.

A: Aww. They're taking his lady gun.

P: Fancy apartment. Might be the only time we see where he lives.

P: Sexy times

P: It;'s Steve McGarrett

P: Catches fake driver with a phone call. Excuse me if I'm late-- I may have to kill a guy."Take me for a ride"

A: ...where I can kill you quietly.

A: Laughs - He's jsut sitting behind him like "here's my murder handfs"

P: Tires screeching on dirt road

A: I was trying to be cool, but now I have to kill you.

P: Drives dead body to hotel, because he's that cool. 21 minutes in he's had sex with one woman and killed one man.

P: Cyanide in a cigarette is "fantastic"

P: Look, he's doing actual detective work

P: Martini, mixed not stirred

P: Old school things like hair on door 

A: Ouch!!

A: Don't walk like a guilty guy!

P: Big fancy room. First really visually striking thing so far.

P: I want you to kill him this long complicated way

A: A spider? A wild creature that you can't predict what it's going to do.

A: We got to check the hair on the door we left with our saliva glue. Uh-oh

A: Somebody's been fingering our bag, too. But I better have some booze first.

P: Sits and drinks for a long time.

A: So what. We put the spider in the closet and expected the spider to climb out of th closet? Really? How do you train this spider? I s this a thing spiders do? Can't you just flick that motherfucker off of there? Flick him. He's jkust a spider.

A: The most dramatic foe he faces.

P: I like that we're  spared seeing the actual bloodshed of spider death

P: A geiger counter! What futuristic stuff!

P: A telephone message. It was hard to get ahold of people in 1962

P: More squals on dirt

A : I like how there's no dust on him.

A: Oh no. Will it blow up. It's not quite Michael Bay. 

A: He's like "Now I'm still gonna get laid."

P: Like the threatening action with the towel. But no, more sex

P: Again, a lot of ordinary sitting and waiting in spy work

A: Finds blowing out silencer hilarious

P: Shooting day for night. Cheap and easy.

A: Oh no, stop drinking rum or you're going to die.

A: Let me put my gun away and get my dick out.

A: How's she going to swim anywhere with that stuff?

A: Good cover. Such good cover.

A: Does he get eaten by an alligator?

P: No, they can't afford alligators.

P: She calls him a detective

P: Now lotts of walking

A: Can we talk about Quarrel hiding with a bright red shirt

A: Oh no! Man!!

A: So they're basically going to get cancer. They're basically melting because of the contamination.

A: I like how the robes were ready for them. How many visitors come in that they have to have the robes ready?

A: Its the radiation. It's not the coffee.

A: Who stays in the other rooms. They just have all these rooms. It's probably a pain in the ass to dust.

P: Another big fancy set.

P: I have so many questions about his hands. How does he get dressed? How does he pee?

A: Radiation turned them into stopne?

P: Bad prosthetics.

A: Don't hurt the moneymaker. Ouch!!

A: So, it was electrified for one hit, and that's it?

P: But early James Bond gets beat up, just like John McClain. 

A: Well, he definitely ripped his shirt a bunch

A: Oh, you better hit it with your shoe. Don't touch it with your hands, you'll get electrocuted again.

A: Thats what we need for covid; we need those suits

A: So the big plan is to stop the Americans from launching a rocket to the moon? That's the evil plan? e're not causing death and destruction?

A: This is before Chernobyl, right?

A: The color scheme is very beautiful

P: Nice model work.

A: Wait? Did he turn up the danger level? That is his-- why do they even have this button?

P: Now watch-- the irony

A: They were going to opposite of waterboard her?

A: It's all too late anyway, right? They've all been exposed to massive amounts of radiation. This can be the only James Bond movie because he dies three days after this.

A: Nope, you're all don. KIngston's decimated too.

A: Yeah, but her makeup is still on point.

A: Swim or fuck, those were our choices. We could swim for it, or just have sex in this boat.

A: Well, the action was fun. I feel like we started with hey lets find out who killed this guy and the lady and we never really cared that much about them. There's no closure, other than he makes it to a boat and have sex with the ladies. {Well, the bad guy died]. But we don't care about the organization at this point? [I think they were just leavin that lying there for later]. And I'm ealy bummed that Quarel died. Espcially in such a shitty way. And what does the tank do? It burns up all the ground so they can get the radioactive material better? Or just to scare away people hat they don't catch and murder. [I don't know why you need a flamethrower for your fake dragon]. And the spider. We will get you. [And we were definitely into spiders because there are two death spiders in the movie, which is a loit of death spiders].
