Armendariz and Connery
From Russia with Love was an amazing watch last night. I've really never watched the old Bond movies and holy shit, if you haven't, it will shock you in absurdity at every turn. I couldn't stop laughing at the script and loving the creativity and beauty of the cinematography. Each scene is so over the top with patterns and color schemes. But then I saw this scene (pictured) about midway through... see that arch above that guys head? The way it stays centered like a hat started seeming very Wes Anderson and then that led to reimagining the actors going full Wes Anderson and then I spent the next hour laughing even harder than I already had been.
Worth it. Sean, Ursula!

The late ones got very serious, not so many laughs, but the stunts ramped up a notch or twenty.
