That game is the reason why I have very poor social skills.

It's the name of one of the short stories. From what I've seen the movie has no resemblance to the short story, but that's neither here nor there.

I've been a Bond fan for close to 30 years when I first saw The Spy Who Loved Me. I don't know if that makes me a "real" Bond fan or a "fake" Bond fan...and you know what? I couldn't give a ****. I honestly don't care who's playing Bond, I seem to enjoy them all except for A View to a Kill. A 60-something looking Roger Moore looked absolutely terrible. Having him hop in the sack with Grace Jones didn't help his cause. I look forward to the awkwardly named Quantum of Solace.

Haha, yeah Thomas, the CGI in those scenes were horrible. I think Escape from LA's surfing scene outdid it.

"Real" Bond fans are like little kids. They want the same story over and over again.

Come on guys : The "Oh, James!?!" era is over. That's why I like the hole package, from Dr. No till QoS.

From the mouth of Roger Moore.

Oh I rather liked the part where they have James Bond spinning around in the g-force simulator. That was fun watching his face contort.
