Guts of Time
Lately I've been enjoying Spike TV's James Bond marathon and all the obsolete-looking gadgets and remote controls. Thoughts on the Roger Moore era? He may not be the most virile Bond but those movies have such a 70s louche elegance ... anyway, it seems all I want now are old phones (see previous post) and tape decks and such. Boxy and black are back! A year ago Amy bought a matte black iBook and I thought it daring, now I regret not springing for one myself. (Apple totally gouges you on style as the no-frills laptops only come in white). To tide me over I'll buy one of these Guts of Time alarm clocks from Urban for $20:
Totally looks like something Q would whip up. Oh, and my other style prediction for 2008 is smoky everything: plexi (like this clock's casing), mirror, glass, and topaz plus the Smoky Mountains, Smoky the Bear, etc. Happy 2008 everybody!
Roger Moore has always been my favorite Bond. Louche elegance is what Bond is all about! I just can't buy some Scottish upstart (i.e. Connery) as Bond. Don't even get me started on Daniel Craig and the modern Bonds (though Pierce Brosnan wasn't bad).
Next Bond: Steve Buscemi.
