We’ve reached the FINALS! for the Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets. This is the goldest twatter the twatterers done twattered. Choose… wisely. The winner wins pride, satisfaction and all sorts of bragging rights.
Also, my apologies for the delay in progressing this contest. When the website crashed some months ago, I neglected to advance the contest. I’m back on track now.

@DrMattFinch came to me and he said, “#Bond_age_ Guy why haven’t you used Kate Bush’s “James and the Cold Gun” for a Remix? And I said, “How could I have overlooked this potential?” Well, I’ve overlooked it no more. I scoured the Roger Moore years (because let’s face it, Kate Bush could only soundtrack a Moore or a Dalton movie) and found a pairing that I quite like. There are some nice lyrical cues to match the action and the groovy bits definitely align with some of the disco-lite visuals in the Moonraker opening.

I couldn’t do a Moonraker Custom DVD Cover and not use my favorite Moonraker Live Tweet moment.
So ingrained are the “pew pew pew” sound effects used during the climactic space laser battle that they had to be a centerpiece of the cover. Or, per Trevor Jost, SPACE. LASER. BATTLE. Once I figured out how to use the “pew pew pew” for the Moonraker #Bond_age_ Collection DVD Cover, the rest fell into place. I borrowed a few images from stills and found the right picture of Earth from space and that was really about it. Sometimes it’s just best not to over-think these things. My only stumble… I had a hard time picking a font. I couldn’t decide whether to go with the more traditional font used on the posters or branch out on my own. Ultimately I chose the depth of this future-ish type font (or at least the future from the perspective of the 1970’s) over tradition.

Picking a handful of gold tweets from the #Moonraker live tweet caused me much distress.

The anticipation for the first Moonraker Live Tweet had been idle curiosity. Many of us had endured long years without the pleasure of Moonraker in our lives. The experience proved galvanizing. It was the first night that #Bond_age_ really became the #Bond_age_ we all know and love. Thus, our expectations for the second Moonraker Live Tweet were altered thusly. I know I was definitely looking forward to Bond in space. And based on our turnout and enthusiasm, I’d bet that I wasn’t alone. If you don’t immediately feel the need to watch Moonraker after reading this Moonraker Live Tweet Digest, you might not have a soul.
