I fooled around in political discussion forums in the W years. A regular had grown up in New York and happened to go to the special UN school where all the UN diplomats send their kids (see The Critic). One day, he was on his way to school, worried that he had nothing for their upper class equivalent of show and tell. And then he bumped into Jawarahral Nehru, then Prime Minister of India, and namesake of the Nehru jacket. At UCEoSaT he averred, "As I said to Nehru this morning ..."
Dr. No is a 10/10 movie. So atmospheric and SOVLful, it's insane. I doubt the series would have the monolithic status it would have if it wasn't Connery in the role. But then again Moore could have been good to since he was first choice allegedly.

The original and the best. The Blofeld in YOLT was just a copy of this guy, not the actual Blofeld in the books.
I say that and I am a zillenial. It was unironically immersive and tense since you actually see the action and not have it be ruined by jump cuts and defeaning music.
so in 1962 money that would be like 10 million dollars give or take, I guess it shows you that inflation is something much more insidious than we are told because you could do a major project like that with only 10 million dollars now a days an evil secret base with a nuclear reactor would be a billy minimum
Yep, inflation is indeed much much worse than they let on. Look at the way things are now, even food is sometimes double what it was a couple years ago and they just change definitions around until they get it to a reasonable % and say they are the best.
Pleasence's Blofeld is such a legendary meme that it feels blasphemous to slate him but what an anti-climactic reveal. The faceless Blofeld with black hair from FRWL and Thunderball was x1000 better plus Savalas who packed a punch.
nta, but I would have been fine with this goofy death if they didn't waste it on the opening. Blofeld's final appearance deserved a whole movie.
It's astounding how revolutionary and innovative Bond is in every aspect of movie-making. Shit like that is common place today but Bond did it first, albeit ill-advised to do it in the first place.
They couldn't since Lazenby exiting made the potential revenge movie to wrap up Blofeld impossible. Ideally, Connery would have starred in OHMSS and concluded with DAF but as a revenge movie in the vein of the opening scene and he kills Blofeld in the end and Blofeld was Pleasance again.
>suddenly killed off out of nowhere in a half assed comedy sequence at the BEGININNG of a movie.
It was deliberate because of some contract issues some other studio got the rights for the character.
>A line of dialogue had to be cut from the opening helicopter sequence for legal reasons. The bald man could not be called "Blofeld", as Kevin McClory had won a court case several years previous, and owned the rights to the use of "S.P.E.C.T.R.E.", and "Ernst Stavro Blofeld". Unofficially disposing of Blofeld so early in this movie was Albert R. Broccoli's way of telling McClory that the success of 007 did not depend on him, and he got rid of Blofeld (supposedly) once and for all. McClory produced and released the unofficial Bond movie, Never Say Never Again (1983), in which Blofeld was played by Max von Sydow. Blofeld did not appear in an EON produced Bond movie again until Spectre (2015), after the rights matter was finally settled in 2013.
I really want a nehru jacket but I don't have any reason to wear one.

I wear a Nehru as my daily. I get compliments every time I go out in it. Give it a go, Anon.
Damn, that does look pretty spiffy..
I have a lot of different ones. But seriously, nehrus are cool and I wish I saw more people wearing them. The collars are fantastic.
Take him to detroit
His base looked like shit
you didn't like his kino magnifying fish glass homosexual? kys
Wish Dr. No wasn't such a success and we got more low budget kino like this

Reminds me of the Jack Nicholson as Joker origin. I like it
Name a more exciting action scene made in the 60s
Austin powers
>curb stomp a homie into a reactor pool
Still one of the best starts an entire action franchise
his death in the book was kino
boomers be like
>yo, that shit's fire!!! insaaane action, i was on the edge of my seat the whole time!!!!
I say that and I am a zillenial. It was unironically immersive and tense since you actually see the action and not have it be ruined by jump cuts and defeaning music.
lmao, ok, homosexual.
>braindead response
Zoom zoom.
Anyone who uses the appellation "zillennial" deserves to be shot to death and buried in a shallow grave.
Anyone who cares this much about dumb terms should have that fate.
zoomers be like
>amogus
Haha I do say that
This scene is still pretty good but the fight scene with Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love is absolutely kino.
dying because his prosthetic hands couldn't grip the bar (60s tech, baby) is a kino death
Dr. No! Nooooo!!!
I loved Mads
Great villain but with the shittiest Bond and then got killed like a b***h by le overaching villain.
To be fair I personally would be fricked if I had to pony up a million bucks
so in 1962 money that would be like 10 million dollars give or take, I guess it shows you that inflation is something much more insidious than we are told because you could do a major project like that with only 10 million dollars now a days an evil secret base with a nuclear reactor would be a billy minimum

He was the proto-Elliott Rodgers
>100 BILLION DOLLARS
>six million, Mr. Bond
>I apologize, Shekelstein. It's an inspired plan. Fake a genocide so Americans come and save you from the people you want to subvert.
Oh so thats who dr evil is based on
How the frick have you watched a parody of a thing but never the actual thing its based on?
Because I'm a zoomer. I grew up with parodies and no originals. I saw Scary Movie 10 times before i ever saw Scream
Go watch the original Connery Bond movies. They're the best cinema ever made.
Okay will do
Another tidbit of trivia is that Dr. Evil's voice is based on Lorne Michaels's voice.
Bust out laughing when I heard it
Tell me does toppling American missiles really compensate for having no hands?
>recurring, serious villain in 5 different movies
>suddenly killed off out of nowhere in a half assed comedy sequence at the BEGININNG of a movie

>a half assed comedy sequence
Nah they full asses that chopper stuff.
Holy shit those stunts are fricking insane dangerous.
nta, but I would have been fine with this goofy death if they didn't waste it on the opening. Blofeld's final appearance deserved a whole movie.
this tbh, it wasn't the execution, it was having zero respect for the character and making the main antagonist of the entire franchise into a sidenote
It's astounding how revolutionary and innovative Bond is in every aspect of movie-making. Shit like that is common place today but Bond did it first, albeit ill-advised to do it in the first place.
Is this in reference to the moronic snoke shit in The Last Jedi? Because if so, frick you.
They couldn't since Lazenby exiting made the potential revenge movie to wrap up Blofeld impossible. Ideally, Connery would have starred in OHMSS and concluded with DAF but as a revenge movie in the vein of the opening scene and he kills Blofeld in the end and Blofeld was Pleasance again.
I'm glad the cat survived
IT WAS ME, JAMES!
I'm convinced everyone that made the Craig movies were just trolling and self sabotaging the franchise.
They kept hiring people who hate James Bond, so that's not out of the realm of reality.
Oh wait, so that's who Dr Evil was based on? Which one is dr evil?
The look is based almost entirely on Blofeld. His personality and demeanor is based on a few other Bond villains and Lorne Michaels.
>suddenly killed off out of nowhere in a half assed comedy sequence at the BEGININNG of a movie.

True.

>villain in 5 different movies
Somehow not even top 10 villains, he's a joke and James Bond does not need an overarching villain.
>one mirrion dorra?
>You expect me to cope?
>No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to dilate.
You cant even afford a house with that amount
Wow, that's the most Asian physiognomy I've ever seen.
What jame bond movie should I watch?
You Only Live Twice
Casino Royale
Octopussy
