Diamonds Are Forever is another clunker from the James Bond franchise.
It's like beating a dead horse to see if there are any more diamonds coming out. Sean Connery is ready to mail it in as
he looks old and bored to pieces. The movie should be called Dollar Signs Are Forever because there are
$$$ flashing in his eyes.
It's now the third actor to play Blofeld. What's so important about him? Looking at the movie poster,
it's obvious the film was meant to be blatantly sexist, and of course, the inveterate poon hound James Bond gets to bed more
women as usual.
I've dismissed James Bond as a British spy by thinking of him a devoted womanizer whose personal quest is to bag 100,000
women. Hence, Vaginas Are Forever is the more appropriate title. Notice in the last two Sean Connery
pictures that a female must appear in a two-piece bikini suit. This time, it's Lana Wood, the sister of Natalie Wood, and she's
cast as Plenty O'Toole, thanks to her national exposure in Playboy.
All in all, Vaginas Are Forever is about the degradation of women.
