Viewing Notes

Another “hey, it’s on TV, so let’s watch it” movie pick! It’s hard for me to believe this film came out in 1981. A lot of very early ‘80s culture belongs firmly with the ‘70s, and this film is no exception. By this time, the Roger Moore Bond had really run its course and had slipped so far into self-mockery that it’s hard to believe the franchise still exists.

I’ve seen every Bond movie of course, but For Your Eyes Only is one of the least watched by me for whatever reason. I can safely say I’ve seen it only two or three times prior to this viewing.
