23rd January, 2019.
There are times I’m glad I’m out of work …
There’s times … I’m frankly not.
Frankly, money his possibly the tightest bits: although that’s always the way, I think.
Debts and payments expand as the income we receive, does.
If that makes sense?
What I’m trying to say … ?
Is simply that there’s pros and cons to being out of work.
The downside?
A lack of cash: and some extremely tight budgeting.
The upside?
Simply that I have time on my hand: and a large collection of media to watch.
Last night? I was in a mode for some Bond…
Actually, no: I was in the mode for some of Timothy Dalton’s Bond, as I’d not seen his second outing in the role for many years.
Last night? I got myself good and befuddled: mixing up titles, to see The Living Daylights … !
Tonight … ?
Hmmm … I think we’re looking at a very different film.
~≈§≈~
License To Kill opens with Bond (Timothy Dalton) and old friend, Felix Leiter (David Hedison), on route to Felix’s wedding … which — bar arresting notorious drug lord, Sanchez (Robert Davi*) — goes off without a hitch.
Post titles, however?
Post titles, Sanchez escapes: and killing Leiter’ new wife, and leaving Leiter himself in hospitals with sever injuries.
And leaving Bond on the rampage … and handing in both his resignation, and license to M (Robert Brown.)
That’s where the trouble only starts …
~≈§≈~
Now …
Good … ?
Hmm …
I have to admit, I it’s been years since I’ve seen The Living Daylights.
And more years since seeing License To Kill …
And … ?
Having seen them back to back, I can’t help think License To Kill† is fine … but that The Living Daylights is the better film …
Let me know what you think, folks: post me a comment … !
License To Kill
★★☆☆
* Who’s left handed, I note.
† To give it, its due? It also feature a very young Benicio Del Toro as a henchman.
