Sunday Resolution 2

Which I suppose is technically Bank Holiday Monday Resolution 1 is to clean the porch out.

Not before I've worked out what film to do for Gag Reels at the Frog on 31st of this month.  I thought it would be better to pick a film that

a) I know quite a bit about

b) I dislike

c) Is not a comedy, as making jokes about jokes, believe it or not, is not something I think I'd be good at

So I thought I'd pick one of the worse Bond films.  Contenders for this when I asked on Twitter were;

Licence to Kill - I dismissed this as it happens to be in my top 3

Octopussy - This is one I had in my mind as it amused me to contrast this film, with set pieces such as Bond dressed as a clown, by reading out some particularly gritty passages from the original novels.

Never Say Never Again - Not an official one, or one I'd choose, but it did make me think I could do the 1967 Casino Royale, despite it being a 'comedy'.  

A View to a Kill - This was in the lead for a while, and was - alongside Octopussy - at the forefront of my mind.  This is the film that, among other shit bits such as Roger Moore's stunt double snowboarding to an 80s cover version of the Beach Boys 'California Girls', sees James Bond cook a quiche.

Die Another Day - The winner (or loser) with most 'votes' (people replying to me on Twitter) on account of its invisible car, Madonna theme song (and cameo as a lesbian fencing coach) and, as Maddie Barton said, Brosnan's seediness.  Because he is seedy.  It is not suave to hint at mutual oral sex after narrowly escaping death.

If I'm honest, I'm still stuck with which one to choose.  

All this I guess makes this Bank Holiday Monday Resolution 1 and the porch one Bank Holiday Monday Resolution 2.  Unless I have a think about it while cleaning the porch out.
