Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

Very clever, Mr. Bond…

With QUANTUM OF SOLACE setting the record for the biggest Bond opening ever, it seems like a fine time to test one’s knowledge of all things 007. So here’s a quiz from EW.

 And here are a few questions of my own:

 1. Which actor played both a memorable Bond villian and the alien in the classic TWILIGHT ZONE episode, “To Serve Man”?

2. What was the profession of the real James Bond (the one Ian Fleming named the character after)?

3. Who played James Bond’s wife? (Yes, wife.)

4. Which actor played both a Bond villain and had a memorable appearance in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW?

5. How does Goldfinger’s scheme in the movie differ from his scheme in the book?

    Nice work, Mack. And that plot change for the movie (Goldfinger wants to irradiate the gold so his own stash will be worth more) is, I think, one case where the movie script improved on the original book.

    One of my first Blu-Ray purchases was FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, my favorite of the Bond films. As soon as GOLDFINGER is released, that will be in my greasy little mitts as well.

    The Goldfinger plot seems realistic in today\’s economy…………..
