Absolute adore Wallace and Gromit!! Great watch to match the "Close shave" episode dear JML!! Such a charming series and a superb film technique! Thank you for remembering these characters!! Cheers! Abel
No Time to Die came to my mind ā¦
Last one by Daniel Craig, may not be an ending I liked but the sequence of events, the flow of the movie, and the music kind of seamlessly move us to that eventual endā¦
Since I do not own the Jame Bond Omega from the movie, pardon me substituting with 2 vintage Seamaster.
Two beautiful vintage Seamasters you bring here dear S F !! IĀ“m eagerly looking forward to the next film of Bond and to know how the franchise will do to continue after the NTTD film.
As a fan for many decades of 007 I wish the adventures of the legendary British spy will keep going strong. (Will the new Bond keep wearing an Omega on his wrist?)
Have a nice Sunday! Abel

One of the less obvious Academy slights is the absence of any nominations . . .
. . . for the Bond franchise's theme music. Shirley Bassey, Matt Munro, Tom Jones, and lest we forget . . .
. . . Nancy Sinatra - all ignored.

Ahh yes dear Art!! This is something really surprisingā¦
ā¦ and tells about the short-sightedness of judges.
Both the music and special effects could be awarded and I feel that the impact of the James Bond character in popular culture through more than sixty years deserve to be recognized.
Well ā¦ may be some dayā¦

Hello dear Salman: Love Shirley Bassey! She had two songs for the Bond franchise. My favorite is Goldfinger. Fantastic!! Thank you for bringing her name here!
Beautiful Duo ā¤ļø, same Genre but completely underrated was Sam Rockwell's performance in the Confessions of a Dangerous Mind...
Horrible Trailer
No award, not even a Nomination.
Flash Gordon did captivate me as a young teenager though.
The iconic soundtrack was the real star here and I still enjoy listening to this album.
Apparently a Seiko Pogue makes an appearance in the film. I was hoping to verify this earlier but my family had other ideas lol.
With this yellow nato.
Perhaps a perfect choice for, āFlash, Saviour of the Universe!ā
Thanks for hosting Art.
Regards Kurt.

Haven't seen . . .
. . . Flash Gordon; its namesake Flesh Gordon . . .
. . . should've won the Razzie had it existed back then.

I have never heard of the Golden Raspberry Awards before.
But found this on google:
While Flash Gordon (1980) didn't win a Golden Raspberry Award (Razzie), it was part of the very first ceremony held in 1981.
Nomination: Sam J. Jones was nominated for Worst Actor for his portrayal of Flash Gordon.
Everyday is a school day.

Epic performance from Brian Blessed to go with epic Seiko
I can also heartily recommend finding the episode of Have I got News for You that he chairs. It's pure unadulterated TV madness - upstages everyone else & even the format!

Music by Queen ā¦
In my opinion the music was perfect for this film and matched the feel and drama of the film. Interesting that Peter Wyngarde stared in it.
I completely agree Cpt,
the music score is superb.
Peter Wynegarde played the masked baddie General Klytus very well. š

Hello dear Kurt: I havenĀ“t viewed this "modern" version of FG but remember viewing the original, in episodes and in B&W when I was very young (that was many decades ago!) ...
... as the orignal series was from 1936. I must have viewed it in the early 1960`s I guess. I was also a fan of the comic magazine version in the late fifties and early 60`s.
I feel that a Seiko Pogue would look very appropriate in the last version FG wrist and your example looks wonderful. The Pogue is a favorite of mine though my example is not in the best condition.
Thank you for sharing with us!!

Hello dear Abel.
I also remember the original FG with Buster Crabbe. It used to be on every Saturday morning when I was a youngster in 1970s. You jogged my memory mentioning this, happy days indeed. It is always a pleasure to participate and I am so happy you like my Seiko.
Kind regards Kurt.
Kind regards Kurt.
ThatĀ“s great to know you viewd that old film and that my comments brought those fond memories to you. Agree those were happy days! Keep enjoying your Seiko Pogue so much! Cheers! Abel
Movie Time ā¦
Hi Art and friends,
This is the Seiko reissue released a few years back ā¦
Just a small selection of my favourite moviesā¦
Apocalypse Now is a movie that I have seen many times and several of the versions released.
Cpt Willard played by Martin Sheen is a great performance ā¦
This is the Seiko reissue released a few years back ā¦
H. G Wells āThe Time Machineā is a wonderful book and I still love the original filmā¦
āBack To The Futureā, very much of its era, but still a good film and very entertaining ā¦
Just a quick mention of a few other great films I
enjoy ā¦.
Laurence Of Arabia, Apollo 13, Jerry Maguire, any Bond Film !
Best regards
Captain
A bit surprising no one's mentioned . . .
. . . Apollo 13 'til now. Winner of two Academy Awards (for Sound and for Film Editing), every watch guy knows the scene where the Speedmaster . . .
. . . saves the day.
Great Cast As well, surprised also no one has mentioned Alfred Hitchcock yet...
Superb Film
Also the appearance of this beauty
