[06:25] IsambardPrince Yeah, the COVID vaccine fraud damaged all vaccines, even normal ones. [06:25] IsambardPrince The trust is no longer there. [06:28] IsambardPrince Yes, I greatly despised the film adaptation of Moonraker. [06:28] IsambardPrince So much so that I saw it once when I was a kid and couldn't believe it was a Bond movie. [06:28] IsambardPrince I thought at the time that it was so bad that it belonged on Mystery Science Theater 3000. [06:28] IsambardPrince If you took the Bond name off of it and left the rest of the film, it might have. [06:40] IsambardPrince Die Another Day was another bad one, but it waited until the second half of the movie to crash and burn. [06:41] IsambardPrince It actually opens with some genuine grit: Bond is captured behind enemy lines in North Korea, brutally tortured for over a year, and ultimately traded in a prisoner swap. Up until that point, it feels heavy, dark, and desperate. [06:41] IsambardPrince Then the script takes a sharp turn off a cliff, introduces a genetic makeover clinic, an invisible car, Madonna doing a fencing cameo with a terrible theme song, and a giant space laser.
