...Where does Val reside now? Didn't she attend 'his' first inauguration?

England. Couldn't find her in the crowd at the inauguration, but she was there, at MX's funeral, wearing dark glasses, sitting next to Percy Sutton.

I liked “Plenty”
“Plenty O’Toole”

Bond: “Named after your father, I suppose?”

My father solved the problem by giving me a book to read called Goldfinger. When I got to the part about P.G. you couldn’t take that book out of my hands. I’ve read every Fleming book several times. Thanks Pussy!

About the novel vs the movie...What Goldfinger tried to do in the film is not same as what he tried to do in the novel...

Detonating a nuclear bomb at Fort Knox...That was not in the novel.

Pussy Galore brings back fun memories. Pussy Galore at 94 doesn’t. Rest In Peace.

Busted my stitches wide open (with tears)...

Way too many commercials on Pluto. They recently had over 20 Bond movies free on VUDU for an entire month and I watched them all in order, so I won't be watching again for at least a couple more years.

I am not sure that it is worse than my local CBS station...

PLUTO tv does not edit movies for nudity...I was surprised...I knew that HBO did not edit movies for nudity. Yes, you have to pay for HBO...

Bond’s love interest in “Moonraker” was Dr. Holly Goodhead.

Never heard of it. I didn’t know we started showing Japanese cartoons as early as the 80’s.

I remember watching Marine Boy,Gigantor and Kimba The White Lion cartoons in the late 1960s. Both from Japan I believe.
