This week in #Bond_age_ we bring you Agatha Christie. An odd match perhaps? #Bond_age_ and Agatha. If anyone was into #Bond_age_, it was Agatha. Really. No joke. Maybe a little bit of a joke. I’m going to ramble on here for a bit because I’ve never actually seen Death on the Nile and definitely can’t speak about it with any intelligence. I have the luxury of rambling this week because I’m sitting here on vacation and it’s absolutely f’ing pouring outside. Torrential downpour. Cats and dogs, living together kind of downpour. Yet I can still see the beach from the deck (so, yes, it’s still there) and I’ve almost read an entire book in 24 hours. I don’t mind the rain. I don’t mind the downtime. Therefore you get full on ramble mode because I have nothing specific to say Death on the Nile, other than I (and you probably) need to watch more Peter Ustinov and I’m on vacation, just not at the Nile and there’s no death. I also don’t know who chose this film for this #Bond_age_Choice. I clearly don’t know anything. (edit: Greg McCambley has just informed me that Poirot might actually be the first entry in our series of Anti-Bonds. Connections abound, people.)
Still, join us for this week’s feature presentation hosted by @GregMcCambley.
