This was the first Bond film since becoming a fan that I didn't see at the cinema. (...) the introduction of crude sexism that pervaded the rest of the Roger Moore era.
You saw Connery Bond before this film and you complain about the sexism?!
Connery's Bond was extremely misogynistic, and forced himself on women. That's what I meant with "creepy" in my reply to the "Living daylights" thread. As David Mitchell said in "Have I got news for you" when someone called Bond a British hero, he's a kind of hero in a rapy way. "Marnie" was maybe awkward to Connery but it would have been just another day for Connery's Bond.
D.S.
Understand your point, Disco Stu, but Connery's Bond was different (in my view) from Moore's Bond in this respect, with "crude" being my operative word. SC-Bond would never have referred to "delving deeply". Call me old fashioned, but RM-Bond introduced Carry On-like innuendo that would have been considered infra dignitatum for 007 in the 60s. (Q's reference to re-entry at the end of Moonraker also falls into this category. Cue Sid James-style laugh.)
I thought we'd seen the last of it with TD-Bond's introduction, but sadly PB-Bond dabbled in it - eg Christmas coming once a year. 'Tain't funny, 'tain't clever, 'tain't Bond. To coin a phrase!
