Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 24, 2022

He’s shaken, but not stirred.

He thought he’d feel better tomorrow. That’s when he learned Tomorrow Never Dies.

To paraphrase Goldfinger: “No, Mr. Bombed. We expect you to die.”

Does this cartoon refer to the released in late 2022 to movie theatres after delays of release due to the COVID pandemic of this recent James Bond movie “No Time To Die” which may have bombed at the movie theatre box office?

“Dong, Ding Dong.” That’s what his doorbell sounds like.

Since he bombed today, he better do well tomorrow since You Only Live Twice.

I actually have a movie script (with a real chance of being produced locally) where the hero is named James Bombed… except that he’s “bombed” in another sense of the word.

Now that is funny!

Must be the Dalton Bond, because he got his license revoked.

as he walked off the stage he gave the audience the goldfinger…

Mad called him James Bomb in “Dr. No-No,” “From Russia With Lunacy,” “Goldfingerbowl,” “Thunderblah,” “You Only Live Nice,” “On Her Majesty’s Secret Shamus,” whatever they called “Diamonds Are Forever,” and “Live and Let Suffer” (which ended with references to future films “The Spy Who Glubbed Me,” “The Man With the Golden Gum,” and “For Fish Eyes Only”). I’m guessing they kept him so for “Moneyraker,” but only saw the title for that one.

From the looks of the members of the audience, it appears as though the show is being held in a convent.
