This film is, as you know, at the top of my Secret Shame movie list. It's just fun. Back when it came out, my mom told me that my dad (who loved planes), dragged her to the movie theater, then made her sit through the opening scene a SECOND TIME. So I guess it's in my DNA. Are genetic transfusions available?...

No kink shaming here, Alice! (Bond's mini-plane *was* one of the best parts of the movie.)

Y'know, it wasn't until just now that I got the Fleming pun on Michelle Yeoh's character...Wai Lin.

I'll say she was!

“Downtown India”?

Very funny review, but I can hardly believe that the plot description could possibly be true. I mean, James Bond in clown makeup, just for starters.

Then I fear it is my sad duty to direct your attention to the Center Ring! By which I mean the bottom of the post, for haunting photographic proof of Bond as Bozo.
