one hundred ninety-three stitches
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.

@lritter what's really great is his estate sells a significantly more affordable version of the deck with an art book. I got mine in the mail today :3

@aeva it does not look affordable ;)

@lritter remarkably it is only forty-three American dollars on amazon dot com (roughly the cost of two Rider-Waite tarot decks on amazon dot com), which admittedly is at the threshold where claiming it to be generally affordable carries a reasonable probability of causing contention. however I merely said "more affordable", as in, significantly more affordable than what Dalí tried to charge that bond movie.

@lritter frankly I'm shocked the Dalí estate didn't take this prime opportunity to outright swindle on the price. clearly they have lost sight of what Dalí stood for

@aeva hehe. yeah under 50 bucks is more than fair.

@stefano Happy birthday!

@ClickyMcTicker thank you! Sure, being 46 with the body I ad at 20 wouldn't be that bad - but, to be honest, I don't feel 46 at all. I feel much, much younger.

@d_von_bern @francina1909 sarebbe quindi interessante mandare un file audio con un nome diverso, così lo aprite e 🤣

From Aarhus H in Christmas mood, it was a few hours more in Danish living rooms to the German border. This was more or less the railway-wise interesting part of this trip, which is why the detailed trip report ends here. Maybe, there's a few more standalone posts to come.

@francina1909 @d_von_bern @Paoblog io sono fuori: ieri pomeriggio l'hanno trasmessa in musica diffusa nel bar dove ho preso il caffè. Ho fatto una faccia tale che la barista mi ha detto: "qualcosa non va nel caffè?"
