James Bond

One of the lasting memories of my childhood is my Dad taking me and my brother Rod to see a James Bond movie in the movie theater. It was either You Only Live Twice or Diamonds Are Forever. I honestly can’t remember. Maybe my Dad will comment and let me know which one it was.

Anyway, I’ve taken it upon myself to pass this love of James Bond on to my son Josh. Last night we watched the movie that started it all, Dr. No.

Josh liked it but as I was putting him to bed last night, he voiced his favor for the new stuff. “Dad”, he said, “the classics don’t have enough action for me. Bond just has that little gun in Dr. No and in the new movies he has all these great weapons”.

Well that may be true, but for my taste I’ll take Ursula Andress (Honey Berry) over Hallie Berry (Jinx) any day.
