My dad used to take my siblings and me to Bond films when I was really young during the 80s, but it was just in the local church hall with a screen and projector. My mum went radge when she found out years later; she's a feminist. I can remember seeing Octopussy, I thought Roger Moore was great at the time and preferred him to Sean Connery (idiot!). However it's not exactly an authentic cinematic experience when you're sat on plastic chairs, the whirring of the projector is louder than the audio, there's light peeping through the curtains, and tea and biscuits are served by the priest's housekeeper. The first one at a proper cinema was GoldenEye at the now demolished Edinburgh UCI. I remember the silence of the opening jump too. Unfortunately I was sat between one sister madly in love with Pierce Brosnan and another sister madly in love with Sean Bean, so it was quite difficult to concentrate through their lustful comments and orgasmic sighs and moans. I wasn't hugely impressed, mainly because I never took to Brosnan as Bond. I wish I'd bothered my arse to go and see Casino Royale, fucking love that film.
