Is Octopussy a great Bond? Eh. Is Octopussy a top-half Bond? Eh. Is Octopussy a good bit of fun with some great action sequences and heaping helpings of frivolous nonsense? Hell yes. While this live tweet wasn’t the most vigorous or well attended, those in the tweet zone, most surely, had a good bit of fun creating the Octopussy Live Tweet Digest.
