Hopefully the pre-wedding party gathers around the table for brunch and belts out Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “I Say a Little Prayer.”

I still ponder how the cinematic world would’ve changed had Sam Neill, and not Timothy Dalton, landed Bond after Roger Moore.

“Bomb blast kills Testa”

Can’t wait for him to announce that lucrative partnership with Thom McAn.
