Dennis Ferguson. The Jesus. Calvin Maurice Cooley. Elizabeth Anna Duke. Elby Jessie Hars. John Bolton. William Claybourne Taylor. Debra Lafave. I am prepared to pinpoint the exact moment that The Living Daylights loses any and all hope of being a great James Bond film. Ok, not really. The cello itself being used as a rudder to steer with, obviously. The cello, for me, is a symbol of the cinematic identity crisis that keeps The Living Daylights from working as well as it should. What tone are we going for here, exactly?
The new model Bond is a dangerous, hard-edged brooder. His eyebrows are furrowed rather than saucily raised. A View to a Kill is, as we saw last March, a totally wretched film… taking the series in another direction was most definitely the right choice. And this is actually quite similar to what the writers decided to do with Bond when Daniel Craig came on board for Casino Royale.
Unfortunately, though he is an excellent actor in the right role, much of the blame here rests with Dalton himself. Dalton flashes us both the Murder Smile and the Pedophile Smile. The Murder Smile occurs in moments when Bond is relishing a kill, or the prospect of telling his boss to go fuck himself, or insulting an incompetent fellow agent, and other such joyful moments.
The Pedosmile, on the other hand, is reserved for Kara during their creepy courtship, especially when he takes her to an amusement park in Vienna. There is an extended montage of the two of them on roller coasters and bumper cars and the like, and they share their first kiss in a ferris wheel as Kara carries a large stuffed animal that Bond won for her. With other actors, it might have been cute. Those helicopter moms are going to kick your ass.
Get a pedosmile mug for your fish Larisa. The creepy smile presented on the face of a pedophile. Chris: Wendy you can't date that guy. W: Why not? C: Are you kidding me? There are a lot of adults out there who find children sexually attractive but never touch them sexually because they know how damaging it is to children.
Children can suffer long term emotional and physical damage when used for sexual gratification by adults. People who engage in sex with children are people who are, well to be perfectly blunt, are utterly and absolutely repugnant and criminal. Active pedophiles, or child molesters as I prefer to call them to distinguish them from those pedophiles who do not sexually assault children, are a rarely studied criminal type about which we know little or nothing. We are not very good at spotting them before they do terrible damage.
Exploring the pedosmile and its implications might improve that sorry situation. We know, for example, that specific genetic disorders are frequently marked by specific facial characteristics. In the old days, geneticists kept careful catalogues of specific characteristics and used these to diagnose genetic disorders.
Today geneticists tend to diagnose by genetic testing.
