If you live in Dallas/Fort Worth area and consider yourself a James Bond fan, you may already know about the BONDTHOLOGY showings at the Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson, TX. If not, here’s the deal – every month (on the 7th) they’re showing (in order) the 007 films on the big screen, all leading up to the new Daniel Craig movie SPECTRE later this year. Our own Devin Pike has been hosting every show since they began, but two months back I took over with one of my personal favorites, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. This month we continue with the first installment featuring the great Pierce Brosnan, one of the most popular of the 007 films, GOLDENEYE. It co-stars Famke Janssen, Izabella Scorupco, Sean Bean, introducing Judi Dench as M, and the late and great Desmond Llewelyn as Q.
Released in 1995, this film explores the idea of Bond being a relic of the Cold War, a spy without a purpose and just a dark history. But when someone once close to him becomes a serious threat, 007 must jump into action once more.
Brosnan did four movies in the role, all seeing strong box office success, and became a favorite with audiences. Many feel his tenure as Bond helped breathe new life into the franchise.
Please join us this Thursday at 7:30pm to see this gem on the big screen, there’s still good seats available as of this writing. Tickets are $7, and we may just give away some Bond items through trivia, so know your 007 and you might win something. Info on the show and ticket purchasing particulars can be found RIGHT HERE. Spread the word to like-minded friends, and hopefully we’ll see you this Thursday!
When a deadly satellite weapon system falls into the wrong hands, only Agent 007 can save the world from certain disaster. Armed with his license to kill, Bond races to Russia in search of the stolen access codes for “Goldeneye,” an awesome space weapon that can fire a devastating electromagnetic pulse toward Earth. But 007 is up against an enemy who anticipates his every move: a mastermind motivated by years of simmering hatred. Bond also squares off against Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon.
