My bladder hurts from laughing

I am going to end up peeing myself from laughter before I get through this Roger Moore DVD commentary on The Spy Who Loved Me. He is so funny in a sometimes rather droll, dry and satiric way. He comes across so slapstick on the screen that to hear him be cutting in his actual sense of humor is a bit jarring at times. But in a good way.

So he was talking about Curt Jurgens, the villain in TSWLM, and he made a comment about how many villains in Bond films seemed to wear Nehru jackets harkening back to that first cinematic Bond villain, Dr. No. He said something like, "It may not be true of all Bond villains, I don't know but it seems to be common." Then he says, in what sounds so sincere, "If there are any Bond afficionados watching, I'd like to know some thoughts on that . . . Not really. Save your stamps."

My bladder hurts from laughing. I was like, "Damn. That's RGM breakin' it down letting the nerds know: don't blow up my inbox with Bond villain theories."

Good times.
