Queue Tips: Long Gold Fing-Longer

Spoiler alert: in the beginning of "Goldfinger", James Bond is alone in a hotel room with a girl when he gets knocked out and later wakes up to find the girl dead.  So yeah.  Instead of killing him, too, they just left him there to discover the crime.

There's a scene where a plane flies over a bunch of soldiers spraying some kind of gas, and everybody falls asleep in a perfectly choreographed manner.  I could totally buy into it as a kid.  But I can't believe audiences would suspend their disbelief for this.  And that the producers expected them to.

Anyways, the soundtrack and score are pretty cool.  The horns in the music sound glorious.  Shirley Bassey's voice in the beginning is powerful.  I found it amusing watching a sophisticated gentleman continuously saying "Pussy" with a straight face.

If Goldfinger had a Fing-Longer, he would have a long gold fing-longer, I think.  Incidentally, it autocorrects as ding-longer, which I am not gonna take you there.  Also, incidentally, "Futurama" is coming back apparently.
