The debut of #Bond_age_ UK brought a few new faces from across the pond into the fold. Where better to start that with the glorious #Bond_age_ that started it all? Bond. Trench. Chemin de fer. Mini-golf in high heels and a dress shirt. The bikini. Conveyor-belt showers.
INITIATE THE UK DR. NO LIVE TWEET!
Alright, Britons et. al. Are you readt for some good #Bond_Age_? #DrNo_UK

Because apparently I am not. My friend still has my copy of #DrNo_UK.

But fuck it… INITIATE MISSION! #DrNo_UK

I’m playing my Bond themes during the live tweet because that’s how I cope being unable to watch the movie. #DrNo_UK

@007hertzrumble It’s the casino scene. Sylvia’s wearing red. Is this helping?
— Adrian Stirrup (@adrianstirrup) December 3, 2013
@adrianstirrup Oh that minx. Sylvia Trench. Pure liquid sex. #DrNo_UK
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 3, 2013
“Bond. James Bond.” #DrNo_UK

Perhaps my favorite Dr. No poster because it contains Sylvia Trench in Bonds shirt/pumps. http://t.co/4036i54Al8 #DrNo_UK

I think ‘Dr No’ has the best Bond character reveal of all the movies. #DrNo_UK

@adrianstirrup Except no veiled accusations of sexual harassment in Dr. No. #DrNo_UK

#DrNo_UK My favourite quote about Bernard Lee was from Sir Roger Moore: “Bernie liked a drink”.

@incrdbl_Hilk Negative. Those are actually ejection seats. The button is under the Shakespeare bust. #DrNo_UK

@incrdbl_Hilk Quarrell was such a keen observer of the finer points of life. #DrNO_UK
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 3, 2013
@007hertzrumble Not like he didn’t see that coming, though. #watchfulQuarrel #DrNo_UK
— Hilko (@incrdbl_Hilk) December 3, 2013
@incrdbl_Hilk He did tell Bond that they were all gonna get eaten. But did Bond listen? Noooooooooo…… #DrNo_UK

#DrNo_UK Professor Dent has the whitest trousers I’ve ever seen.

@adrianstirrup You can almost hear her think: ‘Oh, James…!’ #DrNo_UK

@007hertzrumble @adrianstirrup Would have liked to see Dink’s thought bubbles. #Goldfinger #DrNo_UK

@007hertzrumble @incrdbl_Hilk @adrianstirrup I call dibs on Plenty O’Toole’s. #DrNo_UK

@krissy_myers @007hertzrumble @incrdbl_Hilk Everyone back away from Dame Diana’s bubbles. I claim them for Britain. #DrNo_UK

@krissy_myers Did you tell them that that particular spider would only cause a nice welt? #DrNo_UK
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 3, 2013
@VirveAljas Hollywood has done a terrible job at promoting pro-Spider Agendas. #DrNo_UK
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers) December 3, 2013
@incrdbl_Hilk Did I miss the scene where he breaks out in a stunning rendition of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”? #DrNo_UK
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 3, 2013
@incrdbl_Hilk Clearly we were deprived of one of the potentially great musical numbers in cinema… #DrNo_UK
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 3, 2013
@incrdbl_Hilk …and the subsequent Raffi-esque singing career which would have included a version of “Puff the Magic Dragon.” #DrNo_UK
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) December 3, 2013
@007hertzrumble @incrdbl_Hilk Why not Banana Phone? Think of the possibilities of Bond-esque Double Ententes. #DrNo_UK

Wait… how come no one’s made a comment about Sean’s Magnificent Eyebrows (TM) Yet? #DrNo_UK

@krissy_myers Poor effort. Nobody did their own stunts in 62. #DrNo_UK
— James Longshaw (@JLongshanks7) December 3, 2013
When Bond sings “Under The Mango Tree” in this movie, it’s the only time that he has sung in a 007 film. Shame, really. #DrNo_UK
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers) December 3, 2013
Excuse me for a moment. I have to cherish THE scene. #DrNo_UK
— Hilko (@incrdbl_Hilk) December 3, 2013
@krissy_myers He certainly has a “TRACT RECORD.” #YoureWelcome #DrNo_UK

@krissy_myers I always thought it was because they all had big personalities… #DrNo_UK

#DrNo_UK I cannot wait to use the “No, I’m just looking” opening gambit. Dynamite.

It’s a TALKING dragon! #DrNo_UK

#DrNo_UK Conveyor belt showers are the way forward.
— Adrian Stirrup (@adrianstirrup) December 3, 2013
1 million dollars? You could make a whole movie for that kind of money! #DrNo_UK
— Hilko (@incrdbl_Hilk) December 3, 2013
#DrNo_UK Joseph Wiseman is pure class.
— Adrian Stirrup (@adrianstirrup) December 3, 2013
In Germany “Spectre” is translated as “Gofta” in Dr No. In later movies they started to use Spectre, too. #DrNo_UK
— Hilko (@incrdbl_Hilk) December 3, 2013
“Soften him up” They used to cut this scene short on German TV. #DrNo_UK
— Hilko (@incrdbl_Hilk) December 3, 2013
@krissy_myers Isn’t it amazing how many typical Bond elements you can spot in Dr No?! #DrNo_UK

Of the £1,000,000 budget, production designer Ken Adam was given £14,000. Adam argued for an extra £6,000 to create his sets. #DrNo_UK
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers) December 3, 2013
Ken Adam’s sets so impressed Stanley Kubrick that he hired him the following year to be production designer on Dr. Strangelove. #DrNo_UK
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers) December 3, 2013
After viewing the film, Ian Fleming reportedly described it as being, “Dreadful. Simply dreadful.” If he only knew… #DrNo_UK
