Queue Tips: Goon Acher

Moon raker, wider than a mile.  Moon raker and me.  What is a moon raker anyway?  There are no leaves in the lunar surface, are there?  Or, is it supposed to rake the entire moon itself?  

The bad guys have had so many chances to kill James Bond earlier in the movie.  Yet, later on, there is a scene where Bond is on a gondola, and an assassin kills the gondola driver.  (Spoiler alert!)  Instead of going after Bond, right away, he goes for the driver first.  I mean, the guy is just doing his job and he ends up with a knife in his chest in the middle of a canal.  They had Bond strapped to a machine before, so why not just stab him then?  Instead, they attempt an assassination in broad daylight and take an innocent life in the process.

But wait.  It turns out the gondola has secret gadgets on it.  And it later drives onto the Italian roads.  So maybe the driver really was in on it?  We will never know.

There is a scene where they input a code on a door lock and it creates a tune.  The sound reminds me of the whistling from "Gremlins".  I wonder if there is a connection with the filmmakers.  I'm too lazy to googalize it.

If the moon landing was a hoax, it would be a moon faker.  If someone is planning to show you their butt cheeks, they would moon later.  And by the way, writer and director Tom Kalin is the "Swoon" maker.  A reviewer for Denis Villenueve's film is a "Dune" rater.  "Space Jam: A New Legacy" had a toon Laker.  If you were a very good film editor, you would be a Schoonmaker.  An iPod fanatic can be a Zune hater.  You can argue that a crack addict is a spoon baker.  And of course, James Bond beating up henchmen is a goon acher.

Moonraker?  I just met her!
