Me babe – steppin’ out. Into the night. Into the light. I went out last night but Mr. Bowie stayed at home. He didn’t feel like going out. Mr. Bowie wanted to watch a dark, scary movie about the end of the world. I guess he was still in the mood for Halloween.
Question: What movie was Mr. Bowie watching last night? And who took that picture?
I went to see Skyfall yesterday. I love James Bond. I’ve seen all the Bond movies but I only have two Bond movies on Blu-ray – the two with Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig is the best James Bond. Ever.
On my way to the movie theatre, I bumped into my best friend G, his wife and their lovely son. We hadn’t seen each other for months due to circumstances beyond our control. We all went to see Skyfall and had a great time. Hope we can get together again soon.
Question: What’s that man holding in his hand? He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back.
PS: Just as I had feared, no beautiful Bond girl was waiting for me at home. But hey, luckily I got Mr. Bowie, my loyal companion!
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Bowie’s so brave, I could never watch a scary movie alone. I totally agree, Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever, I can’t wait to see Skyfall, was it just awesome or what? I wonder if that’s a chocolate bar gun aimed at Bond? Diabolical really, an edible gun.
I’m watching scary movies together with Bowie, though he’s always sleeping during the movie. Skyfall was just awesome, no spoilers, you got to go see this movie.
About the chocolate bar gun: you’re so close (but no cigar). It’s a box of Oufti Banane, frozen banana slices coated with real Belgian chocolate. I just love this but I don’t think it could kill 007…
LOL, ok you got me..cigar or no cigar, I would never have guessed ‘Oufti Banane’….hahha, not finding that little goody at our cinema but sounds heerlijk 🙂
Ha ha ha… you’re right, they taste ‘heerlijk’! 😉
My favorite cinema candy…
Does Mr. Bowie have a Bond Lady Cat?
Purrs
Don’t know but sometimes I can see traces of lipstick on his fur…
Hmm… since the movie Mr.Bowie watched is about the end of the world and I can see Nicolas Cage… well then I guess it’s the movie “Knowing”. 🙂 Though I have no idea who took that picture… o.o
Hey, we got a winner… Congratulations my dear friend Tex. I’m going to mail you a beautiful ‘I ♥ Bowie’ t-shirt.
It’s a well known fact that Canon makes cat friendly cameras. So my guess is that Mr. Bowie took the picture himself using the delayed action shutter control…
Thanks! The t-shirt sounds like a pretty one. You must be right about the camera mystery… Mr. Bowie seems very intelligent so he probably shot the picture that way.
It seems you figured it out… You deserve some extra treats!
Well… thanks. I think I do deserve some – now where is my human..
She’s probable hanging around with her friends in some nightclub…
I think so too. She claimed that she was going to study her math, but I doubt it…
Keep an eye on that girl my friend… 😉
Geweldige post…en wat een toeval dat je G. en co tegenkwam…!!!
Ja, gek hé? Ik had al foto’s getrokken van 007 (die ik wou gebruiken in deze post) maar toen G er was kon ik bij op de foto. Het was een heel plezante avond en een heel goede Bond film.
Da`s idd een leuke verrassing…
There were other good Bond actors!
But I’m not disappointed in Daniel Craig at all! 😉
I was a bit disappointed in the Bond girl of Skyfall… 😉
I saw a picture of her, not sure what to think of it. Is she that bad? 😦
No no, she was ok but she had a minor role, she wasn’t that important for the story.
Gee…too bad no Bond girl awaited your return post-movie……the frozen banana slices covered in Belgian chocolate sound really yummy – was that your “movie-snack” at the theater? Don’t know for sure what movie Bowie stayed at home to see but he looks like he’d rather pose for pix anyway!
Pam
The frozen banana slices are so delicious, it must be the combination with the Belgian chocolate. My favorite movie-snack, yes.
You can try this at home. Just melt some (Belgian) chocolate, dip some banana slices into it and put them in the freezer.
Damn…the time difference got me…I knew that was “Knowing” but I’m too late!
How do you compare the new movie to the others?
It looks cool, relatively complex in its characters and a bit different compared to the others. Mendes’s film is less hardboiled, you get more dialogues and you even learn about the loss of Bond’s parents.
We can’t wait to see Skyfall – glad you liked it. Think you’ll find it’s a self-portrait of Mr Bowie – working on his best side and forgot he’d left the telly on.
You’re right. Mr. Bowie is full of surprises…
aaaaaaw, we knew it was Knowing but of course we’re too late.
No more t-shirts for you Jazz Cat Jay…
it’s ok. I was late anyway
Hey, I still got some frozen banana slices coated with real Belgian chocolate…
I don’t care for chocolate but my human eyes looked like they were gonna go out of their sockets as soon as she read the part about the real Belgian chocolate… MOL
Don’t worry JC Jay, that’s a normal reaction for humans. It happens all the time with my dad…
MOL
Daniel Craig’s “Casino Royale” was a revelation. One of those movies one thinks about for days and recommends to scoffing friends. “Skyfall” looks just as inviting….. looking forward to seeing it.
I agree, the Bond reboot with Daniel Craig was successful. I really recommend “Skyfall”, I loved it.
I don’t think my dad ever saw this particular post with Mr. Bowie.
James Bond, I’m with you when it comes to actors portraying 007. Daniel Craig is my Bond. A handsome, handsome chunk of man. (Forget my drooling over him, LOL.) From what I read, Daniel tried doing his own stunts in the Bond films, especially the fight scenes. At the beginning of Spectre, I can’t imagine him doing any of the fight scenes on a real helicopter … then later the fight scene in the train baggage car (a la Russia With Love). The only one in my family who ever rode a helicopter is my dad, w/o seat belts. Mom and Laurie have also done three medical chopper rides but always wearing seat belts.
Sean Connery and Roger Moore I like too. They made Bond their own. Pierce Brosnan, I can live without as Bond. Lazenby only had one turn, Timothy Dalton did two. I think Dalton could have been a very good Bond if they did a better job writing the scripts. David Niven played Bond in Casino Royale, but his version was never meant to be taken seriously like Daniel’s.
Hi Deborah. I was a bit surprised to see you show up in this old post. And seeing myself appear in a photograph was a bit scary. I believe it only happened in 3 posts…
I’m not sure from which moment your dad started to follow the blog. But I believe it was many years ago. Maybe I should look it up. Pure by coincidence I read his comment about my Casino guitar. It was his last comment if I’m correct and it made me realise how much I miss him.
I’m very curious about who’s going to be the next Bond. I think it’s going to be very hard to beat Daniel Craig. I was emotionally touched to see him die in the last Bond movie, and we knew it was his last movie. But deep inside I wished he stayed alive and just resigned… 😉
Rewatching old Bond movies is sometimes disappointing because they feel dated, slow, and not so funny anymore… but maybe you got to be in the right mood to rewatch them.
A helicopter ride…?? No can do, I’m afraid… you will never find me in a vehicle that comes off the ground. I’ll wait for that Star Trek transporter device on eBay…
Dad says they do wear seat belts when they went out. If sitting at the door, which often did/does, don’t move around much. Elizabeth, who is afraid of heights, wants to go on one – door open, seat belt/restraint harness released. It’s doing what dad does.
Who follows on after Daniel Craig? That is going to be a tough one. That’s why three years on, they haven’t found a successor. Also, how do you follow on with a new Bond, after seeing Bond die at the end? Woman or man, or with a completely new character. People will remember Daniel Craig’s Bond, an his will become just as iconic as Sean Connery’s.
I was asking myself the same question. At the end of the movie they said Bond will be back. But how? 007 is gone. How can you replace him?
If you ever will see me in a helicopter I was probably drugged like Mr. T in the A-Team… But I can imagine it must feel very exciting to be in that seat.
Did you see the article from last week, Daniel Craig was made an honorary Commander, Bond’s rank in the British Royal Navy. He looked dashing in his uniform, almost as dashing as my dad.
Your Skyfall photo, I think James has the drop on you holding a chocolate bar in your hand.
I showed the photo to Elizabeth and Tara and asked them who was that in the Skyfall photo. When I said it was you, Herman, Mr. Hendrickx, both said it couldn’t be. You bear an uncanny resemblance to Eric, the exec at Revolution who did Elizabeth’s signing ceremony with the label. I’ll have to show this to Cassandra when she comes home from tour tomorrow.
I looked up the article and yes, Daniel Craig looks dashing in his uniform, almost like a real pro and not a movie star. I’ll miss him as 007… But on the other hand, he lost a chocolate bar confrontation…
