Just came back from watching NO TIME TO DIE. What a huge disappointment!!!! The theme song, unremarkable, dull and forgettable. Brings you completely down. The villain is pathetic. Blofeld has no weight whatsoever in the plot. Ana De Armas is easily the best thing in the entire movie. It’s obvious the producers are taking 007 into a very different direction, one that I am not interested in following. Good bye 007, and good riddance! I’ll keep watching Sean Connery and Roger Moore over and over till I die!!

About the JAMES BOND film franchise.
I'm a big fan of all the James Bond films but after 1971, I always regret it's not Sean Connery who's playing 007.

THE LONGEST DAY
The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of France (and later western Europe) and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:
As 2021 slowly but surely steps in, and in the aftermath of the sad and shameful events that transpired on January 6th at Capitol Hill, I feel the need to review some of the things that, for me, make life worth living. These favorite things still bring a smile to my face and give me a sense that, in spite of all the idiocy and brutality in the world, there will always be a reason to be thankful and keep my hopes high!

FAREWELL, SIR SEAN CONNERY...
The news today were devastating...Sean Connery has passed away at age 90. The obituaries and tribute stories are pouring in. Sean Connery became my boyhood idol ever since I saw him in DR. NO and his portrayal of agent 007 proved to be the definitive template for the series. But Connery's achievements didn't stop there. He was a consummate actor who turned out many unforgettable portrayals in now classic films like MARNIE, WOMAN OF STRAW, THE HILL, THE ANDERSON TAPES, THE OFFENCE, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, THE WIND AND THE LION, THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, ROBIN AND MARIAN, THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, OUTLAND, TIME BANDITS, HIGHLANDER, THE UNTOUCHABLES, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, THE ROCK, ENTRAPMENT, FINDING FORRESTER, among many others. His credits, according to IMDb, number 68. Sean Connery

Maxwell Smart, the Spy Who Amused Me
During the 1960's spy craze, I was an impressionable teenager who dreamt of having cloak-and-dagger type adventures in the style of my hero, James Bond 007, the debonair secret agent with a license to kill as portrayed by Sean Connery. And so, I became exactly like James Bond! Well, would you believe, more like Maxwell Smart? That's right! In reality, I always wound up goofing up in the manner of another equally famous secret agent: Maxwell Smart, agent 86 of CONTROL.
Thusly, even if Maxwell Smart was his only memorable role, Don Adams forever will remain as one of the most recognizable and beloved icons to come out of TV's golden era of comedy shows.Today we remember him on the date he left this mortal world and passed over to join CONTROL's branch in Heaven, always ready to fight the evil plottings of KAOS, that nefarious crime outfit of badness.You can be sure that, throughout the ages, we shall always hear Agent 86's immortal words:
