Don’t mess with Melina Havelock!

The look on Havelock’s face is pretty memorable after her parents are killed in For Your Eyes Only (1981). Is she technically breaking the “fourth wall”?

Paul Brooke as Bunky and Roger Moore as James Bond in For Your Eyes Only (1981)

Looked Good to Me

Bunky (Paul Brooke) loses a big hand of baccarat to James Bond (Roger Moore) after originally being confident in his hand in For Your Eyes Only (1981)

It was humorous (ironic?) to have a cross-eyed character play baccarat with James Bond in For Your Eyes Only, and his appearance slightly reminded me of the “Looks Good To Me” meme.

Terrible FYEO Computer

James Bond and Q look up Emile Locque's info in For Your Eyes Only (1981)

In For Your Eyes Only (1981), Bond and Q look up baddie Emile Locque’s information in Q Branch’s database and get a gist of his criminal history. Alongside that, they get poor grammar, some bizarre and unnecessary abbreviations and a misspelling (“biblography” – which I guess should be “bibliography” as it is spelled at the bottom, but Locque’s profile has nothing to do with books…).

I guess it can be chalked up to the primitive nature of computers at the time (1981), but the look on Q’s face right after they read the information may indicate that Q realizes it “hasn’t been perfected yet.” 🙂
