There is something I truly miss when watching a movie in a theater. That's rewind, pause, and slow motion.
Happened to see that "Goldfinger" was going to play on TV and recorded it. Then watched it yesterday - BTW was made in 1964 and Sean Connery was 34...OMG.
But there were quite a few parts where there was an 007 stand-in, and others where I wanted to see details. Wow, what a difference from current films with CGI etc. I slow-mo'd some parts. So simple to see a guy was a stand-in, or the film was sped up for speed, missed punches, fake driving and crashes, etc. On a side note - in GF, a big Lincoln (with a bad guy inside) is crushed by one of those huge car compactors. The resulting 2'X2' cube is then lifted into a bed of a very small pickup truck...the cube would have weighed 3x the truck did, but little compression of the springs and rode just fine.... But I didn't question it back then a 16 year old...thought the movie was 'cool'. And so risque' - with "P...." Galore and the numerous 'hoochie mama' bed scenes...
I'm digressing and showing my byline below....
