EPIX is free on Dish Network right now, and they have every Bond film up to Die Another Day. Just finished #3 Goldfinger, which felt like the first movie to have all the Bond tropes; main title sequence, one liners, the Aston Martin, a visit to Q and lots of gadgets, over complicated evil lair. The opening sequence of this is obviously the inspiration for True Lies' opening bit of infiltration. I'm howling with laughter over the very wonky fighting, the huge amounts of rear screen projection, the technical flubs I've seen like obvious edits mid take, a crew member trying to hunch down below frame but bobbing up and down into it, or the day for night sequences where they didn't frame out the sky or there's a hard shadow on the ground despite it being 'night'. Kinda blown away that these are a 1:66 aspect ratio, wondering (don't tell me!) when they switched over to 2.35 anamorphic. Other than Dr No and Never Say Never Again, I've not seen any of Connery's 007. I'm also keeping in mind what year these were each made in and viewing them as a time capsule. For instance, in Dr No he takes a ride in a cherry '57 Bel Air and of course the classic car geek in me is thinking dollar amounts. Then I realized the movie was made in '61 and these would have been all over the place! Or how the henchmen of Goldfinger are all Korean, which makes sense for a movie that came out in '64. Anyway, I'm having a good laugh at these but being entertained all the same. Dreading when I have to watch the Dalton films.</blockquote>
