I’ve been slacking on my duties. I’ve neglected to pull the digests from the first two ‘Year of the Spy – 1966’ Live Tweets. I’ll take my lashings now. I’ll see if I can pull them from the archives. In the meantime, here’s The Beckett Affair Live Tweet Digest for your reading pleasure. If you were there, relive the thrills. If you weren’t, enjoy.

Weird camera movement. Check. Tracking shot over random items on a shelf. And cut. That’s a wrap for today! #Bond_age_

@4eyesJohnny You assume something happened? That’s very optimistic of you. #Bond_age_

He didn’t do it to see how far the ripples went; he just wanted to mess with the ducks. #bond_age_

Well, one thing about Paris hasn’t changed. Lots of small ugly cars. #Bond_age_

People take bubble baths at an alarming rate in Eurospy films. #Bond_age_

Beautiful woman steps out of a car, reporters are everywhere; someone gets loaded on an ambulance, nothing. Sounds about right. #bond_age_

Jacques Tati would have made an interesting spy film. #bond_age_

(Sorry for not-watching wisecrack. Okay, not really sorry at all.)#bond_age_— Condemndorsed (@footenotes) October 13, 2016
Waaaait a minute, you’re not an Inspector at all – you just shot me. #Bond_Age_
— TCM Millenial (@TyreeseSculley) October 13, 2016
I’ve watched that scene a few times now and I still don’t understand why he jumps through the window. #Bond_age_
— Dr. #Bond_age_stein (@007hertzrumble) October 13, 2016
That last scene woke me up. I’m glad this movie knows that people need to die to make it slightly interesting #Bond_Age_
— TCM Millenial (@TyreeseSculley) October 13, 2016
If you take a cigarette you can blow smoke in my face too. Just kidding. I’d punch you in the testicles if you did that. #Bond_age_

Dial back the passive aggression, Frenchy. #Bond_age_

I’d like to see Lang Jeffries and Robert Vaughn in a movie together the banter will be hilarious #Bond_age_
— Eric Jones (@deacon05oc) October 13, 2016
It’s rather progressive for this film to bribe an addict with his drug of choice. How very ’80’s of THE BECKETT AFFAIR. #Bond_age_
— Dr. #Bond_age_stein (@007hertzrumble) October 13, 2016
I snuck into this room earlier, put my cards on the table so they’d be ready when you told me to put my cards on the table. #Bond_age_

Forget the movie, guys; I want to check out wherever that Grill sign leads. #bond_age_

@007hertzrumble He mistakes her for beach ball; I’m sure it happens all the time. #Bond_age_

And now he laughs at his own planned parenthood joke? #Bond_age_

@4eyesJohnny Lang doesn’t approve of fashion. He barely tolerates clothes. #Bond_age_

@4eyesJohnny They did a great job using location shooting for this movie. Really took advantage of their locales. #Bond_age_

– They’ll know which window it is!
– No, it’s been taken care of. Nicaragua just banned telemetry. #bond_age_— John Drummond (@4eyesJohnny) October 13, 2016
