S3E1: OSS 117 se déchaîne (1963)
Added 2023-08-31 09:10:29 +0000 UTCLet me set the scene: It's 1963, the movie 'From Russia With Love' has just released and pre-production on 'Goldfinger' is already taking place. The People are clamoring for international nonces of mystery, and the great film-mills of Europe are only too happy to hard shift from the declining 'sword and sandals' genre into something that will forever be known... as Eurospy.
It's episode one of season 3, the much anticipated 'Season of Solidarity', where we take a look at movies not currently struck by the WGA or SAG-AFTRA and get to get back to our roots of talking about a bad spy movie from the 60s.
On today's docket: OSS 117 is unleashed!

2023-09-07 02:17:38 +0000 UTCI can absolutely picture a Jackie Chan-style fight scene where one person was in the middle of cleaning and oiling a pistol, it gets covered in the oil, and then just gets grabbed and lost over and over through the fight.

2023-08-31 16:50:22 +0000 UTCI think the Uncle Chop was a popular trope in the 60s. Because that’s how Mr Spock was supposed to take guys out in Star Trek as well, and Leonard Nimoy came up with the neck pinch thing because he thought the chop would look silly and not suit the character very well. So I guess it was like the less violent 60s version of making someone look quickly to the left.

2023-08-31 15:54:29 +0000 UTCSo hearing Abi lament about someone vaping in her living room reminds me of a similar situation I had at uni when I was working part time at the pub. I was one of the very few people there who had a car and I was extremely proud of it, and everyone at the pub knew that if I'm giving you a lift home, you don't spark up in the car. Everyone understood this as it was the first thing I'd tell any new passenger. One day I give a lift home to everyone on the closing shift, including the new boy. I tell him the usual rule of don't spark up, he says that's fine and climbs in the back. I go about 30m and have to come to a stop, and next thing I'm engulfed in a thick cloud and can't see shit for a moment. It being an Alfa Romeo I had bought fairly cheap, my first thought was that it caught fire, but I could smell really horrid artificial fruit flavouring that legitimately hurt my eyes. I spun around to see the new boy, chuffing away on his vape. I confront him on this, given I had just told him about 45 seconds ago not to smoke in my car, and he instead says its just a vape and I should be thanking him because he's making my car smell like strawberry. It's ever since I've come to the conclusion that vaping is significantly more anti social than vaping, and if someone vape in your house, car or other property, you should have the legal right to make them swallow said vape device.

2023-08-31 09:34:07 +0000 UTCCrucial question, are the films of any le Carre stuff going to fall into eurospy or are those a little too highbrow, because the spy who came in from the cold is a legitimately interesting watch and I think they aren't American made, slightly more serious than a lot of eurospy stuff but they're good films
