I am rewatching all the Bond Movies. My husband has gotten me looking at the opening where Bond kills the guy with the gun at the opening of the movies. To see which guy playing Bond has the best look for doing it. I haven't decided yet.
The classic "gun barrel sequence." I should've put Mrs. Silvercrest onto this link already.
Connery's gun barrel sequence in the first few movies is really stilted and awkward-looking, including his "stroll". For "Thunderball" they must've realized how ridiculous it looked and re-shot it for a more naturalistic set of moves. Lazenby uniquely drops to one knee when he fires. Moore has several versions that use a two-handed firing stance, the first time the sequence really starts looking good.
It goes from there.

Connery didn’t do the gun barrel himself until Thunderball. It was Bob Simmons in Dr. No to Goldfinger.
I’ve always found Sean’s wobbly knee quite endearingly funny.

Ah. Before "Thunderball", I did wonder why Connery looked stockier, but didn't question it.
As to the wobbly knee: I didn't say it was "good".

Continuing my Mission Impossible Rewatch with M:I 2. It was a step down from the original.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’ve never played the game, but the movie was still a fun fantasy adventure even for those who weren’t familiar with the world.
But the person who I watched it with is very much into D&D, so was able to identify all the creatures and explain the Easter eggs and such!

Mission Impossible 3
I liked this better than when I originally saw it. Miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Continuing my Mission Impossible rewatch with Ghost Protocol. I actually lowered my opinion on this movie than originally. Still good but I think I liked 3 better.
YARP!
Jerry & Marge Go Large. I liked it. It had some interesting things to say about relationships and getting older and actually doing something with your life. I wouldn't tell anyone to go out their way to watch it but I did like it and Cranston and Bening were great. There are some nods to Breaking Bad in the film too including the casting of Michael McKean who wasn't in Breaking Bad but played Saul's brother in Better Call Saul.
