    140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW

    Possibly too prophetic to be truly “fun”, this set the standard forever. Many versions lead to many views. More human than human indeed…

    Roald Dahl’s bizarre script turns Bond Japanese for no real reason while Pleasance births decades of parodies. Best Bond title song & score.

    #140RVW: The Black Hole (1979)

    Last saw in theater in 1979. So inappropriate for kids in retrospect. Disney aims for Star Wars but instead Kubricks 20,000 leagues to 2001.
