Today I officially hit over 1k followers! Thank you all so much! I'm happy that you find my content interesting and I greatly appreciate your support! ❤️

Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! And of course this a genuine photo...how dare you! 🤣

@cineposterloops It's a great movie...a master class on how to use CGI & practical effects in tandem without overdoing the CGI to the point where it feels like you're watching a cartoon. A rare instance where the sequel is better than the first film. Great piece of trivia btw! 😊

You know, you’re right. It has enough of a female angle to pull in women as well. Good choice. One bit of trivia I found interesting was that the “Hasta la vista, baby” line was a point of debate. Cameron wanted it colder; Arnold pushed for more personality. The compromise became legendary as we know.

@DollyMarlowe Who let the dogs out? WHO?

AAAAAAND THE WAITRESS IS PRACTICING POLITICS

@bominouca I guarantee you that cat never tips!🤣

In Turkey, an elderly man who makes a living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat who asks him to brush his fur.

I'm a big advocate for the Oxford comma. I'm, also an advocate for, the, Shatner comma. You should, try it sometime. It really, makes your, sentences more, exciting!

@BestMovieMom Never returned? It's an invisible car...how would we know?🤣

The invisible Aston Martin Vanquish in Die Another Day (2002) was widely criticized by Bond fans. Director Lee Tamahori said the gadget was pushed by MGM marketing rather than the production team. The car never returned.

@DavidShann29662 @MrMiller007_ Uh oh...hadn't thought about that...

@MrMiller007_ The visuals are great, swell cinematography, but the ponderous pacing... Makes me nervous about this filmmaker taking on the Bond franchise. Pace is important to 007 movies. Can't be too slow. We're not looking for Hamlet.

I watched DUNE for the first time. It was cool, beautifully shot but I didn't get the hype. Hopefully 2 is much better?

@osvaldogre15651 @Quizzmaster1 That's terrible. The worst part is the complete lack of accountability in most of these stories. Not only did people suffer but they never saw any justice either.

@DoubleODispatch @Quizzmaster1 The infamous Villa Scuster, near Frankfurt. Built in 1951, it had subterranean cells. CIA and first Artichoke, later MK-ULTRA, used to perform torture and brainwash with captured soviet spies or suspects. Many died, no one knows how many...

April 16, 1918: Art director & production designer Sydney Basil Cain is born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK. His credits include 5 Bond films: "Dr No," (1962), "From Russia With Love" (1963), "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), "Live & Let Die" (1973) & "GoldenEye" (1995).

@osvaldogre15651 @Quizzmaster1 Don't you wonder how people like that can go about their day with no remorse whatsoever. It's not like we're talking about professional soldiers or spies. These are scientists, often going beyond the parameters of their research just because they can.

@DoubleODispatch @Quizzmaster1 health issues for the rest of his life, by luck, he's still around! Others, like Frank Edwards, who also had a drink at the hotel's bar before dying of heart attack later, before he gave an appearance on TV, his papers vanished too

April 30, 1964: The golf match scene between Bond & Goldfinger is filmed at Stoke Park Golf Club in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, England. The match famously begins with a wager of a shilling per hole, which Bond raises significantly by introducing a gold bar.

@osvaldogre15651 Very true! 🤣 Apparently that look is coming back over here though. I can't remember what the style is called (something like astro chic?) but my brother loves it because he claims it's super comfy. All the sort of late 1950's to early 1960's stuff...rolled jeans...knit tops

@DoubleODispatch also, his denim trousers were not the usual ones while playing golf in that time!

May 1, 1929: Actor Frederick Allen Nutter aka Rik Van Nutter is born in Pomona, CA. He was the 3rd actor to play Felix Leiter in "Thunderball" (1965). His wife Anita Ekberg also appeared in a mural in "From Russia With Love" (1963) through which Krilencu tried to escape.

@osvaldogre15651 Ah! That makes sense!

@DoubleODispatch yes, they are heaters, surely if we can see the hour they start filming it would answer why they used them or at least bring them!

@DavidShann29662 @wisdomXplorer When you say something out loud it takes away its power over you. You deserve to be free. And what do you mean "only crazy people use X?" I'll have you know that any allegations regarding my sanity (or lack thereof) have been completely fabricated!🤣

@DoubleODispatch @wisdomXplorer Yes. Needed to get that stuff off my chest. I figured what better place than x cuz only crazy people seem to use it.😅 Everybody I know uses other social media like Facebook, ect. I just use x. No one sees my messages here so I feel free to open up. Advantage of low visibility!

Did you ever get bullied in your school/college? How did you deal with it?

@osvaldogre15651 @Quizzmaster1 Interesting! I've never heard that before!

@DoubleODispatch @Quizzmaster1 You should see Paraguay in that time, it was a real spy nest, hahaha

@osvaldogre15651 @Quizzmaster1 Amazing. If you u or I did this we'd go to prison till we're pulling pensions. This guy does it and basically gets a "now, now, don't drug your coworkers" speech! 🤦🏻

@DoubleODispatch @Quizzmaster1 the one who spiked the drinks was the same Sidney Gottlieb, head of MK-ULTRA; it was a kind of joke for him! After this episode, Dulles told him "no more jokes of this kind, Sidney!" and that's all...

@DavidShann29662 Eh, don't worry...I'll never judge over some good clean fun...even if it's a little cheesy!😊

@DoubleODispatch I considered making one, but thought No, I will show some mercy.

May 3, 2004: Actor Anthony Ainley dies at 71 in Harrow, London, UK. While best known for playing The Master in "Dr. Who" he was also one of the Hong Kong policemen who discovered Bond's "body" in "You Only Live Twice " (1967).

@Quizzmaster1 I didn't either! Had a heck of a time getting a decent screenshot...he either hangs back out of focus or doesn't face the camera at all. It's no wonder this role is so obscure!

@DoubleODispatch I didn't know that. I remember him as the Master in Dr. Who.

@6L20project @cineposterloops Oh, behave!🤣

@cineposterloops @DoubleODispatch 😂😂😂 Perfection !!

May 2, 1997: "Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery" premiers. The raunchy James Bond spoof spawned 2 sequels & according to Daniel Craig was the reason for the more somber tonal shift during his time as Bond as there was concern the genre would no longer be taken seriously

@FelixAssis1 Yes, he was! Opposite the lovely Faye Wray!

@DoubleODispatch He was first officer Jack Driscoll in the original "King Kong" (1933)!

May 3, 1972: Actor Bruce Cabot dies at 68 in Woodland Hills, CA. As well as appearing as Bert Saxby in his final role in "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971) he was also in several John Wayne films including "Angel & the Badman" (1947) & "Big Jake" (1971).

@Arody_Paccounty @abrad93 Well aren't you on a role today? Moneypenny Award for you!

@abrad93 @DoubleODispatch Catherine von Schell was also in The City of Death and the Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
