Live and Let Die

 

I turned on Live and Let Die late last night. I watched a little. I didn't understand why James Bond was so worried about M catching him with a woman in his apartment. I realized that all I wanted to see was the speedboat chase in the end even though it dragged on too long and they kept cutting away to the funny sheriff. But it was a long, mostly dull movie and I didn't want to sit through it. I turned it off.

How many of these movies were about James Bond murdering Black people? I looked at a copy of the novel in a bookstore and was rather shocked. They had reprinted the British version which used an especially vile racial slur in one of the chapter titles.
