#Bond_age_TV on Vinyl: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. by Hugh Montenegro

#Bond_age_TV on Vinyl: Vol 1. – Hugo Montenegro, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

With another #UNCLEtweet upon us tonight, I thought I’d give everyone a little present.

This morning I ripped my copy of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. vinyl — which, by the way, is in pristine condition. It’s a snazzy, jazzy compilation of pop arrangements based on the Jerry Goldsmith scores from the first and second seasons of U.N.C.L.E. Even though this isn’t a straight up score, it’s still a fun compilation. For the legit score, you’ll have to visit screenarchives.com for the brilliant limited edition CD set.

Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets: #Octopussy

You know what they say…. behind every great bracket is a great lesser bracket. The NCAA’s have the NIT. The Winners have the Losers bracket. And the Tournament of Bonds has the Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets.

Introducing the Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets

After each live tweet a secret panel of “experts” selects their favorite tweets from the past week. I will then decide on the Top 5(ish) and submit those tweets to a vote. As we roll along through the live tweets, our second bracket will be populated and then the tweets will duel for their own fame and glory. The author of the winning tweet will be crowned Man or Woman with the Golden Tweet and be required to add a third nipple… and be showered with fame and glory and uncertain Interweb riches.

Here are the contenders for Golden Tweet of the Octopussy Live Tweet.

Winner:

Tournament of Bonds: Finals

It’s all come down to this. 23 Bonds entered. 2 Bonds remain. Many votes have been tallied. Feelings have been hurt. Party Moore  raised an eyebrow. T-Dalt brooded, silently smoldering in the corner. 00Fluffy went to the hairdresser. The Battle over #Bond_age_ comes down to pre-Slouchy and the Playboy. The other fellow vs. the “new” guy. The guy who made Zardoz vs. the guy who appeared as Reginald Durbin in an episode of General Hospital.

Quantum of Solace Parodies

The poster for Quantum of Solace created one of the most striking images in the entire Bond franchise. It’s only natural then that an image that became immediately iconic of Craig’s Bond begat a legion of imitators and parodies.
