The Man With The Golden Gun (James Bond Movie)

 It is hard to believe that this movie came out 50 years ago. And in my humble opinion, still holds up and I really enjoyed The Man with the Golden Gun.

The movie was based off an Ian Fleming novel of the same name. In fact, the Man with the Golden Gun was actually released after Fleming had past away (RIP). Though the movie was a loose adaptation from the book. I still fairly enough it!

The plot is that 007 himself received a golden bullet from an assassin named Scaramanga. Which is his way of saying, your next on my list so to speak. There is just one problem, outside of the fact that he has a third nipple, yes a third nipple, no one knows what this man looks like. And so Bond unofficially decides to track him down before it is too late.

Joining Bond on his quest are Lieutenant Hip who is Bond's contact when he arrives at Hong Kong as well as Bangkok. Also coming along for the ride is Mary Goodnight who is the classic Bond Girl of the story.

As the story progresses, Bond finally comes face to face with Scaramanga himself and so learns that he wishes to compete against Bond in a duel to see who is the best. 007 also discovered that Scaramanga plans to use solar energy to destroy the world. 😮

Once again, I really enjoyed this movie, not necessary the best Bond film, but better than I think most people gave the film.

Starting off, Roger Moore (RIP) did a great job as Bond. I love the puns he says in the movie and still get me laughing to this very day. Like when he went to the gun maker and points the rifle at him saying, I am now aiming precisely at your groin, so speak or forever hold your piece 😂. 

Now, lets talk about Christopher Lee (RIP). He does an amazing job as Scaramanga aka the Man with the Golden Gun. It really shouldn't be so surprising though, I mean, Lee had a lot of practice being a villain in plenty of horror movies. But holy crap was he good in this movie! 

What's even crazier is that this movie had a budget of 7 million and scored a box office of 97.6 million dollars.

I maybe a little bit biased because I am a James Bond fan, but this movie was really enjoyable. If you haven't seen it, go check it out!

Until next time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
