From Russia With Love (1963)

 The line on this is that it's supposed to be detective Bond instead of superhero Bond. Also, last one before the formula is set

A: Shooting guy is clearly not Connery. Why not?

P: That's Robert Shaw, the Jaws guy.

A: Is it? Really. Obviouisly before. Is this his first thing?

P: I don't think so. Pretty sure it's his only blonde appearance.

P: There's the guy who's going to be the Russian boss years from now

A: I'm rea;ly confused.

P: Pretend Bond, for training

P: While the full formula is not yet in place-

A: We definitely know tits and ass at this point, and motorboating the credits. Are the books very sexy?

P: I don't know. Never read them. But I don't think they could be. You just didn't get book sexy back then.

P: E erybody smokes.

A: I like this room. It must be the same one they used in Harry Potter.

A: People who play chess are assholes?

P: Only if they're evil spies.

P: Exposition dump. 

A: Should cats eat beta fish?

A: Oh 1960s beauty standards, how nice

P: That's Lotte Lenya, a respected actress who did this for some reason

A: From where? Where do we get live targets?

A: Did we film on location?

P: Yes. That was still pretty fancy in 1963.

A : SMERSH, terrible name. Nobody's intimidated by SMERSH.

A: Awkward

P: I think Sylvia is one of the few women to appear in two Bond movies.

P: This is thee first aooearance of M

A: Is his face just naturally that contoured, or do tyhey just have an namazing makeeup person?

P: Here'sour first Q

A: We keep the same Q for a long while,m right? Because we have to replace him with John Cleese eventually

A: I like the art design and the costumes. It's nice and colorful

A: Good job not getting teargassed

A: I'm so glad the sex saved his life

A: Did we film this on location, because it's so cool!

A: Are there other kinds of feuds besides blood feuds, like soda feuds

A: OH n o-- I think that poor doggie was shot. I want to see something saying no animals were hurt

A: No, that table is mnot protectimg you son

A: It's merely a flesh wound dude, get out of there

A: So happy to be given to a handsome man. Also, no bruises or scratches

A: Wait, were was he storing the butt of the thing,  cause it's not like it's a smal pioece

P: I've never been sure why we need to film it

A: Baby on a leash with a red balloon. Good job extra toddler. Nailed it.

A: Soooo fuck on a boat? That seeems a little bit public.

A: Bitchy Russians

A: OOo Look atthose fancy gardens

A: Eeeeew gross

A: The rats are blocking the way? Are they evil rats. Are they going to eat them? We can't just step on the rats? I like this little song, though.

A: Dude has recovered with his arm realy well. Almost like he wasn't actually shot. It was jkust a flsh wound.

A: You twatwaffle. You couldn't get on the train any faster. Oh, mit doesn't matter. Igor whatsisname is on the train.

A: This guy. They're going to kill him and it's going bto make me really sad.

A: Eew

A: Your friend's dead. You weren't being a good friend.

P: His magic loveeness

A: OH, travel by map. How fun

A: No, dln't get back on the rain wth the bad guy

A: More travel by map

A: White c hianti? That's not a thing.

P: Drugging her!

P: Monologuing

P: This fihtg scene was a big deal at the time

A: It's pretty rough looking, in this cramped space

P: Supposedly mostly the actors and  not stunt guys

A: Don't forget your sex tape. Don't levae it thre. Gve it to Moneypenny, she'll enjoy it

A: Dammit Tania, get up

P: Cool black bad guy uniforms

P: I like the hat. Always the hat.

A: Ah, snappy one liners

P: That shoe knife was an actual Russian thing

P: Boat fighgt!

A: What a fub you killed me face

A: Can the shoe knife really be the best weapon, cause it's like this long

A: How did they get Michael Bublen to sing this song?

A: Ernst Bloifeld question marl??!! 

P: He's still mystery

A: I like gthe story on  this one better than Dr. No. I find it hard to imagine they wojuld find someone so softha=earted to fall in love with him so easily. They couldn't find a cold calculating girl to betray him. Youre russia with millikons of people; you can't find someone better?
