Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets: #Goldfinger

Arguably, no Bond movie is larger than Goldfinger. Therefore, in light of #Bond_age_versary and #Goldfinger, I couldn’t pick just five tweets to nominate for the Gold Tweet. You’ll have to pick one of these six. You’ll suffer through just fine.

Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets: #TLD

The Smolder sets the Tournament of Bonds on fire. But can his movies similarly turn the Tournament of #Bond_age_ Tweets to ashes? Here’s some of the best of what we twattered during the #TLD live tweet.

James Bond Limericks: Twitter phenomenon

You asked for James Bond Limericks?
No? Well, you’ll wish you had.

An offhand Twitter comment about James Bond Limericks led to a flurry of Limericking among #Bond_age_ fans today. Below you will find the (ongoing) fruits of our labors.

@GregMcCambley

In the Living Daylights

we see an actor named Timothy.

He became Bond.

The public they yawned

and he left after two films, not three.

@GregMcCambley

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd

Killing was all they did.

They went after Bond

but both got pwned.

One died by a flipped lid.

There once was a dude called Chris Lee

Who numbered his mammaries three

Maud Adams was thrilled

After each man he killed.

Between deaths Nick Nack called out “Me!”

There once was a villain named Blofeld

whose villa was flooded by snowmelt

His dungeon was drenched

his henchmen wouldn’t flench

despite his best “Dr. No yell”

There once was a Bond named Moore

whose actions one might deplore.

He starred in seven movies

and saw so many boobies

that you might call him a whore.

 @kimmiechem2

Twas a gal named Domino

with face of lilywhite snow

vowed to avenge

François’s bitter end and so,

killed evil Largo

@filmchild

There was a young man named Roger

who referred obliquely to his todger.

The girls they came.

The villains were tame.

And Grace Jones refused to be his lodger.

@007hertzrumble

Bond adored a girl named Tanya

and said put this negligee on ya.

Then Red Grant boarded the train.

Their “romance” appeared in vain

until Red didn’t know his wine from Champagna.

@p2wy

There once was henchman named Jaws,

who almost had Bond in his claws.

He saved Bond in orbit

and splashed down to earth with

a buxom young blonde in his paws.

@TRWilcox

There once was a man named Lazenby,

who entered the franchise quite brazenly.

He grappled brilliantly with Kojak,

but did the audience to Connery go back?

They left George standing there holding his Dazenby

A View to a Kill Opening Remixed with Fatboy Slim

After trying just about every Grace Jones song I could find, I wound up watching the “Weapon of Choice” video just because I was sharing clips of random Christopher Walken appearances and wondered how well the song would fit over the A VIEW TO A KILL titles. I had to do a little video manipulation for syncing cues and overall timing, but I’m pretty happy with the results… even if I am a little embarrassed about the obvious connection. Sometimes, however, the low-hanging fruit are the juiciest. I don’t know though. Maybe that’s actually true. I’m not horticulturalist. Are you? Maybe Christopher Walken is. Ask him if you ever bump into him in the halls.
