Mom’s a big @LeoDiCaprio fan as all should be and I think it’s one of his better performances.

#NoTimeToDie was the 1st film postponed by the pandemic, but luckily that means I have more time to experience the classics finally!

UPDATE: #TheTwoPopes (2019) is delightful! A really big fan of the script, & casting, and the way the stakes are implemented in a movie where two men just talk for 2 hours.
And whoever the gaffer was on some of that B&W cinematography...

...aaaannnnd it didn’t. Maybe next time Bond. I haven’t seen a lot of old school 007 films but the misogyny in this one was... something else

I know #QuantumOfSolace (2008) isn’t the best but I respect Olga Kurylenke as Camille compared to the other Bond girls I’ve seen so far. It wasn’t sexual even in the end. Just pure empathy and respect between to people who’ve suffered.

Also, two things. Sean Connery was totally Blofeld in this one right? And this dude totally looked like Daniel Craig as Bond :P
Just to clear some confusion
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> Blofeld makes an appearance elsewhere in the movie but they don’t show his face or reveal the actor in the credits, but he sounded like Connery to me. R. Shaw on the other hand looked a lot like Daniel Craig to me in this movie which I laughed at
[1/7] In honor of my 10th James Bond film here’s my rudimentary ranking so far:
1. Casino Royale - best story & performances
2. From Russia with Love - if Hitchcock directed 007 is how I heard it described. This is accurate.

3. Goldfinger - Iconic. Best score. RIP Honor Blackman. Passed days after I watched
4. Goldeneye - Sean Bean, M calling out Bond was fresh, Wonderfully cheesy
5. Thunderball - Bond is still great in it, water scenes were fine

[7/7] I’ve been watching these out of order so idk if that’s skewed my impression of these but I kinda like it this way. Watching either Skyfall or Moonraker next. Should be fun. #Bond25 #007marathon #JamesBond
#Skyfall (2012) Think if The Dark Knight was a Sherlock episode. I realized it was released for #Bond50 about 2/3rds in, & it works a lot better now that I’ve seen more Bond films to give moments context.
PS. Shots are hard to pick w Deakins as DP #007marathon #Bond25 #JamesBond

If you were to tell me today that one of Daniel Craig’s Bond movies was written during a writers strike, I’d have to guess Spectre (2015). Just finished it. Lazy, uninspired, predictable, offensive, convoluted, disregarding, flat, humorless, clumsy, stupid... #007marathon #Bond25
