Always aniticipated, the GoldenEye Live Tweet drew a sizable crowd of active twatterers, onlookers and hop-ons merely reminiscing about the N64 video game. Over the course of this live tweet we’d bust out references, obscure and not, and find time to toss about the usual Austin Powers and MITCHELL! lines and question the amount of suspension of disbelief required to accept the fact that Natalya survives the destruction of a secret Russian military base, a train crash and incarceration without a rip in her tights.

The new Bond theme used in the opening was quickly axed after fans reacted… poorly. #GoldenEye — #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 5, 2013
that opening music was….ummmm…yeahhhhh… #GoldenEye — Anna Morrison (@AnnaRenee) December 5, 2013
I have to turn in — can I go on record that destruction of satellite station is ENDLESS! + I hate the score in the Famke chase. #GoldenEye

Really, Bond? The only occupied stall? Bit of a creeper, are we? #GoldenEye — Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) December 5, 2013

#GoldenEye is such a class movie. The atmosphere of post-Soviet decay gets me every time. — The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) December 5, 2013
This was a good way to start a Bond reboot – scale and action and drama #Goldeneye — Christian Divine (@Chris_divine) December 5, 2013
@007hertzrumble #GOLDENEYE And I have to put up with those who tell me this scene can’t be done. IT’S A BLOODY MOVIE! Go watch Titanic then
— Nicolás Suszczyk (@NSuszczyk) December 5, 2013
The worst part of this song? It helped make Bono and the Edge think they could write a Spider-Man musical. #GoldenEye
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) December 5, 2013
I do love the duality of the lyirics. It’s about 006, but I can also listen to it and hear Brosnan’s relationship to Bond. #GoldenEye — Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) December 5, 2013
@007hertzrumble I remember the music from that car chase/flirtation scene sounding dated even when #GoldenEye was first released. — Jay Potts (@World_Of_Hurt) December 5, 2013

I wonder if Xenia was in the database of KGB assassins Q showed Bond in TLD? #GoldenEye — Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) December 5, 2013
She sleeps above her covers… *four feet* above her covers. She barks, she drools, she claws! #GoldenEye — #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 5, 2013
Geeky history note: the Soviets had a long history of badass female fighter pilots, like the “night witches” during WWII. #GoldenEye

@hollye_h They named #GoldenEye after Ian Fleming’s house in Jamaica. Fleming named it after a duck. And named Bond after an ornithologist

Fun fact. Xenia orgasms every twelve seconds. #GoldenEye — #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 5, 2013
So what does Xenia scream there at the end of that scene? It sounds like when I got food poisoning from scallops. #GoldenEye
