My reconciliation with 'Thunderball'

When I began to delve deeply into the world of James Bond in my childhood, I found Thunderball extremely boring and uninteresting. Twenty years ago, while I was waiting for The World Is Not Enough to premiere in my country in December, I began to rent or buy all of the old Bond movies in VHS, watching them with my dad. I began with Roger Moore: The Man With The Golden Gun, Live And Let Die and Moonraker in that order, followed by The Living Daylights.My nine-year-old self poppe...

Esse est percipi (Chill out, dude!)

Welcome to my world!

Hello everyone and welcome to my personal blog. Since I manage many accounts in social media and write in many sites, I decided to create this particular site to unify all of these features and say a couple of words about those things that don't seem to fit anywhere else. By no means this will be a personal diary, but I felt the necessity to have a place where I can drop some thoughts about mixed things, be it a James Bond movie, any kind of movie or book or play, or a place I visited, a dish...
