92 A watercolor, I just learned, which explains the pale coloring. Apparently Sommerville collected these specimens, and then painted a background for them using his imagination.

This makes for a pleasant painting. It almost feels a little surrealist.

>>It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there's not a lot to focus on.

As an interesting point to consider, probably very, very few people knew what under the sea looked like until very recently.

Space does not have a lot of air.

Although, IIRC, the designs for the Project Orion ideas were for pretty much any shape you could imagine. They had to be very wide anyway since you could easily make the spacecraft the width of the pusher plate.

222 Recently picked up a Smithsonian magazine to read I found in some lobby. Incredible how far it has fallen. Practically every single piece was 100% in line with leftist agenda. Some overtly, others more subtly. Polar bears and climate change, covid , life of some African women scientist, Navajo doctors, J6 commentary on shocking insurrection, more global warming, cultural impact of statues (and why some are bad!) and on and on and on....

As bad as it was, it has also been dumbed down. I felt like it used to be a challenging read requiring some concentration and at least a high school degree if not some college. Now it seems like it is for 10th grade reading level, maybe lower. Light reading while eating your cereal. Must make it easy to absorb all the narrative.

The botanical paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries are remarkable and so is this one. They rival, for me, the gorgeous still life works of the Low Country artists. For all her fame with her children's books, Beatrix Potter's nature drawings were used in scientific publications.

The colors, with the feel of looking through water, detail and composition of this painting are fascinating. I could spend hours looking at this.

Not Fleming's first. He originally wanted, get this, David Niven. And Cary Grant was an idea of his too, until the producers convinced him both men were too old (and Grant agreed).

I've read that Fleming did want Richard Burton -- who by '62 was already showing his age. But a Moonraker film w/ Burton in 1956 would have been epic.

I like the idea of a Bond series set in the 60s.

There's a lot of history to play with.

BONUS! - modern technology/events makes the whole idea of Bond a bit obsolete.

Either the franchise becomes a Mission Impossible clone with a tech team handling a lot of the job or

you wind up with some weak woke shit because everyone's all offended by the nationality/race/religion/sexuality of the villains.

Also - we've got a bunch of real life Bond villains running around and not a one of them has met a grotesque fate while being snakily remarked upon by some mysterious English dude.
Makes suspension of disbelieve tough.

Bond is producer driven, not director driven. This creates an environment where the producers chase action trends.

Bond movies are lagging indicators of where the action landscape is at any given moment. They even tried kung fu after it blew up at a certain point. (You Only Live Twice, I think.)

433 My four top Bond movies, based on a model I constructed which was based on who played Bond:

From Russia With Love
The Spy Who Loved Me
The Living Daylights
Goldeneye
Casino Royale

Yes, I omitted Lazenby. Because he is that bad.

Connery is obviously the GOAT. But I actually place Moore in second. I was brought up on those two guys. My father was the least imaginative person I have ever known, with my mother being a close second. BUT my father introduced me to Bond movies. I was all in from an early age. So I will always have a soft spot for Moore. Brosnan for #3. Dalton #4. Craig #5.

CJ Roberts is a scumbag and noted in his refusal to stay Navarro's sentence until appeals have happened. Essentially Navarro has to go to prison before his appeals on whether the conversations that Navarro had internally with other Trump administration figures is protected by executive privilege. Same with the Jan 6. If Trump wins, I would allow all of them to sue and then require the DOJ to settle the cases with large monetary awards and a permanent settlement going forward that forbids this type of lawfare permanently.
