Yes I'm doing a re-watch, first time in about 15 years
Actually curious to see how well it has aged
Assuming better than most Bond films

Keeping this one for later, I have a feeling I shall find appropriate moments that something ends up on main that probably shouldn't
Just saying, Austin Powers (1997) pointed out that the Salvation Army is an evil organisation who should at no point be trusted
