This is a terrible movie, but I count at least five Bond movies worse than this one (Live and Let Die, License to Kill, A View to a Kill, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day).<br /><br />On the plus side, Hugo Drax isn't a bad as Bond villains go. The opening sequence is good until JAWS tries to flap his arms like wings. And Holly Goodhead is on the Mt. Rushmore of great Bond girl names.Jake Shorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124378230594689452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-52729225330898941562016-10-06T12:05:11.147-05:002016-10-06T12:05:11.147-05:00I remember when I was a kid Octopussy was making t...I remember when I was a kid Octopussy was making the rounds on HBO, back when they would run the same five movies over and over again for a month, and asking my Uncle (in the middle of a birthday party) if he had seen the movie.<br /><br />My Uncle: Octa-WHAT?!<br /><br />Me: You know.<br /><br />My uncle: Octa-What?<br /><br />(repeat five times)<br /><br />Me: (murmuring) pussy...<br /><br />My uncle: OCTA-WHAT?!!!<br /><br />(My aunt is now yelling at him to stop, but he's keeps at it until it gets me too blurt out...)<br /><br />Me: PUSSY!Jake Shorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124378230594689452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-9108408084757809442016-09-28T00:19:42.212-05:002016-09-28T00:19:42.212-05:00Good book, but what a stinker of a movie.

He would do it over and over, and to this day, it's kind of taken the simple joy of the name of that movie away from me. <br /><br />But one thing I was absolutely sure of was that I knew better than to ask to see "Octopussy".<br /><br />My first was, I think, the one I'm set to watch next, which I remember very, very fondly.

I remember thinking that it was so cool because of the spaceship (shuttle?) and Jaws. I also recall that my grandmother wouldn't let me watch a movie called "Octopussy".<br /><br />RHPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617999946778955502noreply@blogger.com
