I would love a SPECTOR come back I hated the way SPECTOR was defeated in that it came down to Bolwfield in You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Diamonds are Forever. Then I hated how he was that little crippled looking guy in You Only Live Twice, I thought he had a better look in Never Say Never even though I hated that movie. I think that was a big copy of Thunderball right?

i liked never say never again .. great score. good to see connery back .. one of my favorite villians ever.
the spy who loved me was co-written with a woman (or so it says)
It takes place in an out of the way motel in new york state just south of the canadian border where a girl who runs the motel is being terrorized by 3 run of the mill criminals .. thats it.
i'm not opposed to him trying something new - and it sounds like it could work - but it doesnt. so in this one case - the movie was better than the book.
