so the next one is the very first 007 with roger moore, Live and Let Die (1973), and immediately you can hear the excellent title track in your head, can't you? it's performed by US-british rock band Wings and was written by paul and linda mccartney (the police).
immediately i can tell, this is going to be good. more black actors in one scene than i have seen in all movies so far combined. yaphet kotto (running man, midnight run) gets head billing - he plays the villain.

they employed a lot of black actors in this film. all they had to do was to play the baddies. it's a bit of a schindler's list kind of a situation: you can give tons of disprivileged people work - on the condition that they make ammunition for their oppressor. i hope they got paid well. def'tly good for exposure.
but it's clear who the movie sides with politically/spiritually, and it's not the "cracker honkey". it reminds me of jack nicholson getting consistently better lines in Batman (1989).

this movie is turning me into a racist. knock at bonds hotel room door. it's a black waiter. "your champagner sir!". i'm thinking: bet he's part of the gang
fortunately bond's side is not all pale.
the villain gets all his intel from a tarot reader. she is never wrong. they are magic people, voodoo people.
jane seymour (dr. quinn, BSG) is in this.

this movie is either sheer genius or an utter catastrophy, but definitely nothing in between. it is no doubt incredibly creative.
bond gets the rare opportunity of listening to a diegetic rendition of his movie's title song.

i'm not going to spoil more of the movie, it is an absolute masterpiece. cult worthy.
the first one so far where i was sad the 2 hours were over already.
wikipedia: "Salvador Dalí was approached in 1973 to design a Surrealist tarot deck for the film. However, his fee was too expensive for the film budget. Dalí kept working at the deck and released it in 1984."

there are many "The Man With The" movies, but this is The Man With The Golden Gun (1974). of course you think they mean bond with this, but the golden gun swinger is no one less than an "anti-bond" villain, played by christopher lee (dracula, lotr) a bizarro bond. a moustached bond without moustache.
this is trippy deconstructed bond. pairs well. out there and brimming with idiosyncratic choices. they give the audience what they want, and yet side against the myth. it's almost brechtian.

hervé villechaize (paradise island) is also in this, playing lee's surrogate son, i mean apprentice, i mean henchman.
we continue with The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). the title song is "Nobody Does It Better", performed by carly simon ("you're so vain").
german curd jürgens (the longest day) plays the baddie, named "stromberg". yes.
the typical bond orchestral theme is now spiced up with a funk band - complete with cowbell. groovy baby!
starts with a kickass basejumping stunt.

this movie is (or adds to) ground zero of the supervillain trope. it has the iconic henchman "jaws" (played by richard kiel), who has metal dentures, designed by katharina kubrick. stanley kubrick directed the lighting for one scene of this movie.
apropos "jaws": a shark is used to dispose of a supposedly traitorous secretary. this is the second time i have seen sharks used as weapons in this series.
we get to vacay in egypt and listen to egyptian funk. a lot of classical music references too.

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.
