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.

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
