    The 11th in the 007 series. MOONRAKER (1979) ‘For Your Eyes Only’ was meant to be the next film but after the success of ‘Star Wars’ (1977) Cubby Broccoli went this way.

    The first Bond movie I was aware of when it hit the theaters was "For Your Eyes Only." As a kid I found it boring even if I later appreciated that it's a totally cromulent entry in the series. I LOVED "A View to a Kill" as a 12 year-old, though and still have a soft spot for the sillier Bond films.

    Born 27 April 1959, Sheena Easton rose to fame through the BBC reality show The Big Time in 1980. Her 2nd single, "9 to 5" (renamed "Morning Train" in the US), reached No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981. She performed the title track for the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. #SheenaEaston

    I resumed my james bond watch-through last night with The Spy Who Loved Me, which was surprisingly great, maybe the best one since Goldfinger. Not sure i'd seen it before. Weirdly though at the end it says he'll return in For Your Eyes Only - yet the next film in order is Moonraker 🤷

    In Quantum of Solace, Bond listens to an ambassador's tale of domestic strife, a tale which Bond considers harder to bear than his own dangerous life. It's Fleming's furthest departure from other Bond work. Risico & For Your Eyes Only were combined/mined in scripting the movie of the same title.

    This was Bernard Lee's last film as M. He died before his scenes in "For Your Eyes Only" could be filmed, and his lines were given to an actor playing Bill Tanner. He would be replaced by Robert Brown in "Octopussy". Later on, Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes would play M.

    Some thoughts about Bond and Dr. Who. Last night I watched this 1983 Bond. It was so much more enjoyable than For Your Eyes Only. Ageing agent Shir Sean is laconic and thuggish, whereas Roger Moore was stuffy and arch. But the film is explicit that this is the same Bond as the one from the 60s.

    Last night we watched "For Your Eyes Only" on our trek through Bond. The practical stunts continue to be the most amazing thing. (Husband pointed out we recently watched "Fall Guy" and it was only at the credits we realized the stunts were practical. We’d assumed CGI the whole movie.)

    8. For Your Eyes Only (1981) We get to see some new dimensions of Moore’s Bond in this film, and it is filled with action and just enough wit, not to mention a great casting choice in Carole Bouquet. Moore seemed at home in this film and it was a great ride.

    Rewatched For Your Eyes Only for the first time in years. It’s *such* a tonally odd film. Full of statements of intent to return to the early Connery mould, but with so many ludicrous set pieces. And from here on out, Moore is too old for the role as written.
