Losin' touch with all that's real...

I've been a complete vegetable today. That's good. The downside is that I've been watching TV. There's been a bond marathon on Encore...so Bond with no commercials, that's even better. (Yeah, I know I have all of them on DVD, but that's not the point ( Read more... )

As if Lazenby was any better than Dalton.

Actually, I'd say Lazenby was better than Daulton for one good reason - he left.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a transition movie...and was in some ways expected to be the end of Bond...but it didn't die. The producers also knew they needed someone that could stand up to Sean Connery, very tough shoes to fill, and they knew Lazenby wasn't the man for the job.

Like I said, it's not all Timothy Daulton's fault. It was a gravy train for him, but he'd been better off to just walk away from it after the 1st movie flopped.
