Sinossi
When Jimmy O'Connell took a job as chauffeur for 007 producers Eon Productions, it would not just be Cubby Broccoli, Roger Moore and Sean Connery he would drive to James Bond - his grandson Mark swiftly hitched a metaphorical ride too. In Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond Fan, Mark O'Connell takes us on a humorous journey of filmic discovery where Bond films fire like bullets at a Thatcher era childhood, closeted adolescence and adult life as a comedy writer still inspired by that Broccoli movie magic. Catching Bullets is a unique and sharply-observed love-letter to James Bond, Duran Duran title songs and bolting down your tea quick enough to watch Roger Moore falling out of a plane without a parachute.

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond Fan is a wonderfully funny and touching memoir by author and Bond fan Mark O'Connell whose grandfather Jimmy was a chauffeur for Eon Productions. So while Jimmy was driving around the likes of Cubby Broccoli, Roger Moore and Sean Connery, young Mark also hitched a ride and so his infatuation with all things Bond took hold.Set against a backdrop of the Thatcher era, Duran Duran songs and his own closeted adolescence, O'Connell takes the reader on a humorous, filmic journey where Bond films fire like Bullets.Barbara Broccoli, co-Producer of the Bond movies, calls his memoir 'a completely unique.perspective on the franchise' '.a wholly original take on a subject that has been written about so many times with most authors covering the same topics over and over again. O'Connell's book offers a totally fresh take and is a really enjoyable read, not just for Bond fans but for anyone looking for a nostalgic romp through the pop culture of the last fifty years.' O'Connell writes from the heart on a subject he loves passionately, starting back from his childhood when he would bolt down his tea to watch Roger Moore leaping out of a plane without a parachute. A foreword by long-time fan Mark Gatiss and an afterword by Maud Adams herself, is likely to jog magical memories for many, as well as provoke passionate debate. This is perfect bedtime reading and will remind everyone why they fell in love with James Bond in the first place. Codice articolo CIN0956950574A
