Sorta.) What the hell is this? And why is it so captivating? Space shuttles, museums of glass, kendo, and boa constrictors. Hell yeah.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched MOONRAKER last night. Uh… is it normal to get teary eyed during Jaws’ scenes? #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →MOONRAKER is considered by many to be the most ludicrous James Bond movie. The villain is a billionaire who privatizes space travel and is secretly a fascist who wants leave Earth and cultivate a master race. Doesn’t sound so far-fetched NOW, does it?

neutral · AI labelView post →I just rewatched Skyfall, and it's amazing that films as different as Moonraker (1979) and Skyfall (2012) exist in the same film series. 👌
neutral · AI labelView post →You couldn't make the movie Moonraker today. It would need to be a leafblower on the Moon and nobody wants to see that
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the novel version of Drax is closest. Working with British military to launch the Moonraker. Best book, worst movie.
negative · AI labelView post →They also nailed it with Hugo Drax, the space obsessed eugenecist in Moonraker (1979). How is this film 47 years old? That can't be right.
neutral · AI labelView post →James Bond spent 20 years carefully explaining every gadget, weapon, and technology shown… then Moonraker, the first movie made after Star Wars, inexplicably had laser rifles as a prominent battle weapon that was never discussed in the movie or ever again.
neutral · AI labelView post →Did you know that liquorice made in Pontefract featured in an iconic Bond film moment? 👀 In 'Moonraker', Jaws is seen biting through a thick electric cable. Yep, that's Pontefract liquorice! Liquorice really has been used for all sorts! 🍬 More tasty #FunFacts in this thread (1 / 5)
neutral · AI labelView post →Moonraker is not even CLOSE to the worst Bond movie. Quantum of Solace License to Kill and yes, No Time to Die All stinkeroos
positive · AI labelView post →Honestly Moonraker is my favorite Bond movie _precisely_ because it is a giant wheel of cheese.
positive · AI labelView post →RIP John Grover (1938-2026) The English film editor worked on a half-dozen James Bond pics (including Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me), Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, David Lean’s Doctor Zhivago, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, Lifeforce (1985)... He was 87.
neutral · AI labelView post →Our modern world is being largely shaped by a bunch of charisma-less dildoes who watched MOONRAKER and thought it was a film about some woke British asshole ruining a perfectly good billionaire's plan.

neutral · AI labelView post →Steven Knight off of Peaky Blinders is to write the next Bond film. Now, that’s all well and good, but we all know the best screenplay (Moonraker, fuck off, no you fuck off) was written by the bloke who wrote the Confessions films and I think they’ve missed a trick not asking me.
positive · AI labelView post →They’re beyond measurements of “good” and “bad” imho. Moonraker is a bad movie but also? It’s a good movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I know Moonraker is not actually a good movie but this street parade scene whips ass compared to the showoffy fake one-er from Spectre youtu.be/xOOMjexvgns?...
positive · AI labelView post →“Inside! Moonraker! It’s the new Bond movie!” Dated this very day in 1979, a mere 46 years ago, 2000AD & Starlord #119, with its rather terrific cover starring Roger Moore’s James Bond.

neutral · AI labelView post →Your reporting on Musk conjures up the image of the Bond villain, Hugo Drax, from the film ‘Moonraker’. It’s as if Musk has deliberately modeled himself after that fictional character. The parallels are uncanny.
neutral · AI labelView post →What was your first Jame Bond movie? I saw Moonraker (1979) at a drive in theater.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow. I just experienced the weirdest Mandela Effect. I haven’t seen the cheesiest Bond film, Moonraker, since I was a kid, and I was absolutely certain that the blonde lady with the pigtails who instantly falls in love with Jaws wore braces…but she didn’t.
neutral · AI labelView post →His evil plan is also to develop a private rocket arsenal by profiting off lucrative government contracts. FWIW, Moonraker is the best-written and least problematic Bond novel and the film adaptation is a crime.
negative · AI labelView post →The massive hit THE AMITYVILLE HORROR was released OTD in 1979, the fifth and final major studio film during Hollywood's "Summer of Horror." Based on Jay Anson's 1977 bestseller, it was eclipsed only by MOONRAKER so far that year for opening weekend sales. Spawned 10 sequels.

unlabelledView post →Novel Bond is very different from Movie Bond. Novel Bond is described by the author, Ian Fleming, as an "extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened; I wanted him to be a blunt instrument." He picked the name "James Bond" from the author of the book, "Birds of the West Indies," which he thought was a very boring, average name. This Bond is a loveless, depressed alcoholic who only lives for the next mission. He doesn't really have a personal life and throws himself completely…

unlabelledView post →No lies detected. The fact that Holly Goodhead is unironically cool as hell in the movie just makes it even funnier that that's her name. Also I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but Moonraker is fun and a surprisingly reliable comfort movie during dark times.

unlabelledView post →I think they were supposed to shoot “Octopussy” but after the success of “Star Wars” they went ahead with “Moonraker” to capitalize on the space movie craze at the time. It had “Jaws” and was in outer space, everything I wanted in a movie as a kid at the time. 🙂

unlabelledView post →this a reference to a non-existent James Bond movie they came up with on the podcast by combining the names of two existing James Bond movies: Moonraker and Octopussy. I'm assuming in this context it's a reference to how many James Bond movies there are.
unlabelledView post →Moonraker. The James Bond film that tried everything. From Jaws finding love, the incredible set design of the Villains base, to the Clint Eastwood references, to the kung fu christian monks, to the insane laser light show in space.

unlabelledView post →Moonraker is the best Moore movie Seen it a few times already but also Quantum of Solace is good
unlabelledView post →Moonraker (1984/2015) This doesn't have anything to do with the James Bond movie. It's a pretty simple sci-fi arcade game with five distinct levels (not unlike Gorf, for instance). The screenshot is from the first one, a sort of Space Invader meets Missile Command. 1/2
