You were shit... Only kidding NN, you do great stuff on this here KZfaq. Your 'history of' vids are exceptional, really well researched and presented to the same degree. Long may they (and your other vids) continue. YT collaborations are great, seeing Mr. Biffo doing the rounds is a good thing, and Octav1usKitten is really doing good stuff too. That Ashens though, unsure, seems a bit of a seedy character. Thank you all for the entertainment :)

Yes, it was a radio play of Moonraker (I think) but it was before the movies started. Technically there is an American who did Casino Royale first but he played 'Jimmy Bond' and as the character isn't American and is never known as Jimmy in the books/movies that doesn't count.

@luketfer 6 жыл бұрын

There is 1 Blockbuster surviving in America IIRC. Sadly none survived in the UK. Ah I miss that job, Assistant Manager at a tiny little Blockbuster where we were lucky if we made £75 a day in takings, spent most of the time with a portable DVD player behind the desk and watched films (you weren't suppose to do that but our Area Manager turned up once every six months). It was a lazy mans dream job. I mean yeah the writing was on the wall at least for that store, our takings had become piss poor in the last 3 years of business (I can remember when it was actually busy) but we didn't expect the entire company to fold and had to find out through second hand means that the company had gone into administration.

@mixmasterfestus8096 6 жыл бұрын
