Well, I slipped up that time, Moni. You wanted to look after me. I shall have to think again. One thing's certain, though. Somebody's got to pay my passage.

“Moonraker”

-a thrillingly goofy James Bond film that includes some of the giddiest sequences ever captured on film

-since Bond, with very rare exceptions, exists more as a series of set pieces more then an actual connective narrative spine, this works pretty well in its favor

-first off, the moment where Bond is on a boat, another boat drifts by, a man comes out of a coffin with knives being thrown, bond returns the favor, man falls back into coffin truly dead

+and then the coffin hits a bridge, falls into the water, sinks

-it is fucking impossible for me not to love this scene. It is so dumb and so relentless in its conviction to entertain it tickles my soul

-Bond fighting a ninja in a glass art museum. Where it must hold a record for most shattering in a single area. Delightful

-Bond’s boat turning into a car, underscored by a double take from a pigeon

-a lover of bond who is hunted to death by dogs, in a beautifully shot forest

-the US marines fighting the yellow minions in outer space, with lasers and jet packs that makes it seems like a fever dream mash up of the arcade game “asteroids” and how you imagined all the toys battles when you were a child

+pew! Pew! Zap! Zip! Etc

-the indestructible behemoth of a brute (“jaws”, making his return) falling into a circus from a plane with no parachute

-speaking of, there is a certain thrill in seeing a man jumping out of a plane, knowing that camera operator had to jump out of another plane to record it. Stirring

-it’s been reported that the budget for this film was so massively out of control that they were paying interest on it 10 years later. Believable, because this film looks awesome and expensive

-the sets alone are gobsmacking, then the rain forrest et all

-props to one of the best double entendres in the series; when Q is asked where Bond is(he’s having sex in zero gravity)”I believe he’s trying for re-entry”

-John Barry does a pretty terrific score

+wild to think he did this, “the black hole” and “starcrash” in the same year.

-Spy peanut butter in outer space jam. What’s not to love?

Lewis Gilbert: From the Music Hall to Moonraker

Lewis Gilbert (1920-2018) was a successful British film director, but it was his trad show biz origins that tipped the balance toward his inclusion in these annals. Gilbert’s parents had a music hall act, and he grew up touring with them on the circuits. When he was quite a small child, Gilbert joined them on stage. His part of the act was to drive a small trick car around. In 1927 his father…

At the end of The Spy Who Loved Me, after the credits, it said that "James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only". When Star Wars: A New Hope became a blockbuster, EON productions switched gears and on June 29, 1979, Moonraker was released in theaters. EON invested more money than any of their previous Bond adventures by a significant amount. The movie had the bad guy's laire being a space station, the abduction of space shuttles (something still in the testing stages during preduction), and the climatic battle being fought in open space with lasers. It also marked Bernard Lee's last appearance as M. It was also noteworthy for being one of the few times where the Henchman (in this case Jaws) appeared in more than one movie. ("Moonraker" flm, event)
