I'm in a lineup for a municipal election and thinking of leaving cuz it's taking forever.

Angela looks like she's had a seven day party.

Forgot how much I love Bill Conti's totally bonkers disco soundtrack to For Your Eyes Only.

It's like a penis cozy.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

This was my first grown-up viewing. People defend it on Reddit but it's awful.

Also they look more like characters from a Daniel Clowes graphic novel more than anything.

Moonraker actually was as bad as I remembered it. Oof.

Actually a bunch of them have bad hair and look flat out scary.

OK so these people Bond encounters are supposed to have perfect genetics and go into outer space and procreate and blah blah blah. Yet one of them looks like she has a cheap wig on from Spirit Halloween that was trimmed using a bowl.

😂🤣

So far Moonraker is mediocre but nowhere as bad as I remember it. Feel like it's going to totally fall apart as soon as the outer space stuff begins.

I remember asking if Peter O'Toole was gay in a roundabout fashion as a little kid.

Jealous! I'm so behind it would probably take a day to update! 😂

My apartment building is right next to a Denny's. I'm tempted now 😆

Remember that Vance joined here too and everyone ignored him until he gave up and went back to fucking couches

One of Moore's best!

Now I have to sit through his worst. And I'm skipping all the Pierce Brosnan ones.

I'm gonna sound like Boomer yelling at clouds but in my day (twenty years ago...bleh) the pop stars *encouraged* people to go out and vote.
