Be careful if you are thinking of watching the Bond movie “Licence To Kill” on your next @British_Airways flight.
Full set of 27 James Bond movies (including the unofficial ones) on @British_Airways at the moment. Will pass the time to New York.
Thinking of starting up @JB_UnivEx using some AI images to recreate the 1950s & early 1960s.

I remember being super excited when FYEO had its TV premiere. 5 years after seeing LALD, I had now seen all the Bond films that had been made at that point.
Not sure why the video shop never seemed to have this though. Maybe the older Bond films were not so available on rental?
