Technical difficulties have temporarily derailed the #FRwL Live Tweet Digest but not so with the #GOLDFINGER tweets. Read on as we delight in the ways that Sean Connery says “PUSHY.”
So much PUSSY you won’t know which way is up! INITIATE MISSION! #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
#Goldfinger Sean’s stealth jumpsuit is awfully shiny.
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
Not only is it the “Gold” standard for Bond, it’s one of the best movies ever made. End of discussion. #Goldfinger
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
That guard wasn’t actually knocked out by Bond, he just wanted to leave work early. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
The toupee never looked better #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
I’ve always found that red carnation such a lovely touch to Bond’s white tux. A nice pop of colour! #Goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
Objects in Senorita’s eye may be closer than they appear. #Goldfinger
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
…POW. Right in the kisser!…
Nothing like spinning around and letting the broad take the hit #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
THE ORIGINAL “SHOCKING.” #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
…Shirley Bassey drops by for some crooning…
@ThatAndyRoss She owned it at The Oscars. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
My absolute favorite theme. Like ever. Infinity. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
Honor Blackman leaving The Avengers to make this did give us Emma Peel. So, double yay! #Goldfinger
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
“Previous acting experience?” “I was painted in gold and scenes from Bond movies were played on me.” “In #Goldfinger?” “No. Private party.”
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
That lady with with the spinning licence plates for teeth! Man, I bet she made Jaws feel insecure. #Goldfinger #TSWLM.
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
…and Bond appears in Miami… to… do… what exactly?…
@007hertzrumble And I’m okay with that. #AllAboutTheDink
— Eddie Love (@EddieLove44)
…oh right, ass-slap like a kid in a candy store…
Sean Connery: Ass Slapper #Goldfinger
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
Producers approached Jack Lord to return as Leiter but “the hair” declined. Thus began the downward Leiter spiral. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
Flex in this movie looks 3 shades way from The Chief on GET SMART. #Goldfinger
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
…and torment a card game?…
Hi Shirley Eaton’s bottom. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
Man those shorts are short. This would make Kevin McHale blush #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
@echidnabot @Mr_Fantastic86 Not the worst thing Connery’s ever worn in a movie: http://t.co/XhQ7uZiPQ5 #goldfinger
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
@theactualkeith Again, this makes much more sense in the novel. I always wondered why Bond gave two shits about Go Fish. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@TimRomines76 @theactualkeith The novel allows me to enjoy the movie more, actually. I stop asking so many questions. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
…and Goldfinger shows his immense displeasure by…
He broke a pencil! Good Gravy! Hide the children! #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
Bond “listening to Beatles w/o earmuffs” is funny because Bassey’s #Goldfinger title track was produced by Beatles producer George Martin.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
…time for a #Bond_age_ “THE MORE YOU KNOW” moment…
@krissy_myers I was more concerned that he said Fahrenheit. Shouldn’t it have been Celsius? #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@theactualkeith I don’t think Britain made the switch to metric at this point. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@007hertzrumble @theactualkeith Thought so. I pay attention to stuff like this. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@007hertzrumble Way to shatter the mystique. #BuzzKill #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@007hertzrumble And to let young men fantasies for um….later.
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
…at this point can we even separate Austin Powers from James Bond and James Bond from Austin Powers?…
JUDO CHOP! #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
First appearance of the Q-Branch workshop. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
Producers had to pay for the Aston Martin. But after the success of #Goldfinger, they never had to spend money on a car again.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@Mr_Fantastic86 Of all the gadgets in Bond movies, this is the one that throws you? #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith that’s legit, I can’t think of a better one #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
The original choice for Bond’s car has been the E-Type Jaguar (a car driven by Ken Adam). Jaguar refused. Silly, Jaguar. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
…and now back to tormenting Goldfinger… this time by out-cheating him at golf…
@007hertzrumble Does Bond’s caddy have a cool backstory in those 40 pages? #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@007hertzrumble And the caddy is the main…driver…of the stunt? ***Roger Moore eyebrow lift at my own pun***#Goldfinger
— Eddie Love (@EddieLove44)
@MentorsCamper Was it a naturally occurring gold bar? #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
#Goldfinger is a real son of a bitch
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
Here’s the thing guys, out of all Bond’s lethal skills, his ability to cheat at golf is the most chilling. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
Hide the pencils!!!! #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
The comic undertones of the plucked Bond theme. Brilliant conclusion to the scene. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@TRWilcox Guy Hamilton was kind of a hack that benefitted from the genius of others. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble @TimRomines76 @TRWilcox Guy Hamilton’s got a powerful weapon for which he charges a million a shot. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@TimRomines76 @007hertzrumble @TRWilcox That’s kind of my specialty. Making things weird and knowing the metric system. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@krissy_myers @007hertzrumble @TRWilcox And the hits keep on comin’. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
…say it with me now… “PUSHY”…
I would like to hear Sean Connery do a cover of ‘What’s New Pussycat’, because hearing him say Pussy is the best part of #Goldfinger
— Trevor Jost (@tpjost)
@theactualkeith The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@krissy_myers It seems like an ineffective if you have to walk and pick it up every time. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@krissy_myers See? He’s a true Villian. #StepOffPosers #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@Mr_Fantastic86 It’ll even find the closest Hoss’s Steak and Sea House! #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@ThatAndyRoss If it did Bloomin’ Onions, THEN I’d be impressed. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
Yes, it’s perfectly normal for a woman to act indifferently to an extremely handsome well-dressed man in an Aston-Martin. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
…welcome to the Goldfinger chop shop…. we turn gold cars into Asians!…
Oh, just a couple of random Asian dudes walking around at night in Switzerland #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
This factory makes nothing but manservants named Kato. #goldfinger
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
@MentorsCamper It’s the same school that taught Carole Bouquet the “my parents are dead face,” no? #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble I like Frobe, but Welles would have been epic. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@007hertzrumble @echidnabot I bet Welles would have HATED Connery, like he hated everyone in the most delightful ways. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@007hertzrumble @krissy_myers We would have a book about it by Peter Bogdonavich. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
I appreciate that not only are #Goldfinger‘s goons all wearing the same colored pajamas, but also matching sashes and utility belts.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith She’s not killed here in the novel. She falls in love with Pussy Galore first. Killed later. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble @theactualkeith No way! These books are kinkier than I thought. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@007hertzrumble I like to imagine Oddjob being given special hats from his own Q that luckily meet his mission needs. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
Never turn on your high beams when speeding towards a wall with a mirror on it. #Goldfinger
— Mentor (@MentorsCamper)
This sped-up chase scene footage is really doing it for me #Goldfinger
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
You know, in certain shots, thanks to the lighting, the bulletholes in Bond’s windshield look unfortunately like bird poop. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
…time for Bond’s laser bikini wax…
@007hertzrumble Intense too; a buzzsaw crawling towards your balls while Oddjob repeatedly slugs you in the chest? Like… ouch. #Goldfinger
— Adam Slusar (@TapwaterAlice)
PERFECT! No better way to threaten Bond than to promise he’ll go junk first. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@MentorsCamper I think #thunderball, while a weaker film, has the best Barry score.
— wadesheeler (@wadesheeler)
@MentorsCamper The score is stronger in moments of quiet. It lacks any fluency in bombast. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble He also bought a boat and a sports car recently. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
Iconic scene. Defined. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
Good bluff Mr. Bond. Tell me, have you ever played Fizzbin? #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
That is some fast actin’ date rape drug. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@TRWilcox You forgot the air quotes when you said LASER #goldfinger
— The Festival Lawyer (@FestivalLawyer)
@FestivalLawyer Haha! I agree.
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
…time for PUSHY!…
@007hertzrumble Can’t tell if that’s a trivia tweet or a joke. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@krissy_myers Yeah. The producers deemed it too “suggestive” apparently. Why it wasn’t deemed “stupid” is another question entirely.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@TimRomines76 @007hertzrumble Moore has standards, damnit! He didn’t sleep with Bibi! #goldfinger #FYEO
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
And we’ve got Pussy! HOORAY! #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
“Like a blowtorch through butter” is one of my favorite lines in this movie. Connery’s delivery is spot on. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@Mr_Fantastic86 The Full House house was fucking ridiculous. It was as big as the house on Fresh Prince. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
Many of Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus were men wearing blonde wigs. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble Hey! There’s one in the grey suit.. oh no wait, that’s Bond… the one in the hat! Oh no, wait… that’s Oddjob. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
…off to… the stables… who do you like in the third?…
There hasn’t been this many Asians in Kentucky since the railroad came through! #toosoon? #Goldfinger
— Fantastic Mr. Greg (@Mr_Fantastic86)
@007hertzrumble Oh yeah. Kato Kaelin thinks this Felix is a tool. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@MentorsCamper Which is absurd because the Thunderball novel is basically a buddy cop movie with Bond and Leiter. #Goldfinger
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble Jack Lord didn’t need no hat! BRING BACK HAIR LORD. #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@Mr_Fantastic86 Suit choice for the wedding is inspired by Bond’s suit in this part of #Goldfinger. Minus high pants.
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
…Goldfinger address his investors which apparently includes a team full of stereotypes from 1940 gangster films…
Did anyone else just hear “What’s with that trick pool table?”? Worst dialogue ever. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@TimRomines76 @theactualkeith It’s like Mario Bava directed that scene. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
Seriously! The guy falls for the fake elevator gag? That guy should’ve been fired. Fucking henchmen unions. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
…ninja Bond drops from the ceiling to escape captivity…
@007hertzrumble It’s pretty sad when you think how much Bond physically went down hill in the later movies. #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
Is that Asian gentleman using a Luger? #weird #Goldfinger
— Fantastic Mr. Greg (@Mr_Fantastic86)
@TRWilcox The other side of the map has Legos. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@TimRomines76 @TRWilcox A different type of erector set. #goldfinger #pardonme
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
…Bond pops up inside the Fort Knox model…
One of these days, I’m really hoping that when the camera pans down Connery, he’s not wearing pants. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
…oh hai, Pushy…
Best “Pushy” in the movie. Right there. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@TapwaterAlice And they both sell ads for Sokolove & Associates. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
…random Kentucky Friend Chicken product placement raises an eyebrow…
KENTUCKY FRIEND CHICKEN the official chicken of James Bond. He doesn’t always eat fried bird, but when he does… #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
…and a Thunderbird (and passengers) is turned into a convenient pocket sized version…
@30hertzrumble The Henchmen in The Hall. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@MentorsCamper Oh those wacky Koreans! (70’s laugh track) #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
Whoever wrote Die Hard With A Vengeance didn’t watch this “math” scene in #Goldfinger.
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
I never noticed all the dudes painting the white fence in the background. #Goldfinger must have made a trip to Home Depot before his presser
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
I think George Hamilton wore that same purple outfit as Pussy when he did Zorro The Gay Blade. #Goldfinger #fashionismylife
— Mentor (@MentorsCamper) July 11, 2013
Bond was thinking: “That shirt is completely defenseless, Pushy.” #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
Oh Lord, this Felix really is the absolute pits. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@MentorsCamper I tell ya, that kid’s got a future in this business. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
…time for a roll in a hay…
“Help, help. I’m being repressed… oh repress me some more, James.” #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
…many, many, many “rapey” comments distilled to one…
I know that look… that’s HIS RAPEY LOOK. ARGH. #goldfinger #hoorayforsexism
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
…and now back to assaulting Fort Knox…
SPOILER! They must take napping lessons in basic training nowadays. Cuz those are some believable dead people. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
I always wondered why/how they turned a car on its side. The concern for verismillitude seems misplaced. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
Despite no one from the film being allowed inside Ft. Know, the replica is said to be incredibly accurate. #KenAdam = Beast. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@Mr_Fantastic86 Would you say, perhaps, it looks “flaccid”? #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
Y’know… not to knock Connery, Frobe et al, but Fort Knox just might be my favorite character in #Goldfinger.
— Adam Slusar (@TapwaterAlice)
#Goldfinger ‘s atomic bomb looks like it’s being housed in a space-age hot dog vendor’s cart.
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
…okay, just a couple more rapey comments….
@MentorsCamper @krissy_myers @TimRomines76 ROGER WAS ALL ABOUT MUTUAL CONSENT! And don’t you forget it. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith Did you ask for the gold’s permission first? #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith @30hertzrumble …AHHH!! #goldfinger
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
#Goldfinger won first Academy Award for a Bond movie. Norman Wanstall won for Best Sound Effects. #TBall later won for visual effects.
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
And I’m pretty sure Norman won his Oscar for his swoooooshing hat foleying in this scene alone. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
*Clink clank clunk* *Whirrwhirrwhirrwhirrwhirr* *WHEEEEEEEEE* *CLANG!* #Goldfinger #FortKnox
— Adam Slusar (@TapwaterAlice)
I think Connery’s grimace there was legit. OH MY SCIATICA! #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
When Oddjob grabs the hat in the bars, he actually burns his hand. He wouldn’t let go because he wanted to get it on 1st take. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
…gee, look at all the whiz-bangs on that big ol’ bomb…
In the original cut of #Goldfinger, timer stopped at 003, explaining Bond’s line about “three more clicks.” It was later changed to 007.
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@30hertzrumble It was a good death. #goldfinger
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
I love scenes that really show Bond sweating and not having all the answers. #Goldfinger
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@MentorsCamper “Pull the gefletch and re-wire the tetch! Defusing is easy if you give it a stretch!” #Goldfinger #DrSuess
— Adam Slusar (@TapwaterAlice)
I’m surprised Connery doesn’t just start turning that red and white wheel until shit blows up. Worked in #DrNo. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
…so nuclear bombs have a lot of moving parts? #Goldfinger
— Fantastic Mr. Greg (@Mr_Fantastic86)
…random suit, defuses the bomb and the day is saved… or is it…
“Goodbye, Felix. Try not to be such a toolbox while I’m away.” #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith Don’t get me started all the Oedipal shit going on this this movie. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
@MentorsCamper Seriously. He had one job. One job. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
…Where’s “Pushy”?… oh… right… crashing the plane while we fight to the death…
“Yeah, she’s where she’s supposed to be. Making me brownies, m’f’er! WUT?!? Also, she’s flying the plane.” #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
“Goldfinger, you are my most interesting single serving friend.” #Goldfinger #FightClub
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@echidnabot I borrowed my brother’s GI Joes to rescue Barbie when her car went over a cliff into a lake. Sadly, she drowned all the time.
— FanForumsTV (@FanForumsTV)
…Bond and Pushy parachute to safety… this time, no rapey required…
Bond is a master of deception! No one will find them under that bright orange parachute! #Goldfinger
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
Only Connery Bond film to not end on the water. #Goldfinger
— James David Patrick (@30hertzrumble)
Those credits were quick…or I’m just drunker than I thought I was #Goldfinger

@30hertzrumble Considering it was you and an all night cook at The Waffle House, I should hope so. #Goldfinger

@krissy_myers @TimRomines76 @30hertzrumble hey feminist hulk, I didn’t realize they showed bond movies on lifetime #Goldfinger

DENIS! salutes good #Bond_age_. Especially the brilliant, if slightly rapey kind w/ Oedipal subtext. #Goldfinger pic.twitter.com/fGrR5BMksE
