Taipan, your video grab bag is full of surprises! I'd never seen any of PB's part in that Hammer House Of Horror episode. Nice catch. Dosen't he get killed later in some typically macabre and gruesome way? It's rather fun to notice that his pick up lines haven't changed very much since the dawn of the 80's, LOL! Hard not to close your eyes and think of Andrew Osnard, just for starters, while PB in trainers is chatting up the lady in pink.
In scoping out various video treasures on your site I never noticed before that you had the SMA's Oscar presentation with the grand dame of costume design, Edna Mode. Like good spies they always did have a special relationship. Why, if only he'd worn that special suit she made for him (on double super secret background) for his own Oscar campaign -- he'd have made more than just a splash at the GG's for Julian Noble...
PB: [opens the door] Edna! Just the maven I wanted to see.
Edna: [walks in carrying a garment bag] Your suit is ready.
PB: [he's pleased] I congratulate you on your timing.
Edna: And I must congratulate you on something else, no? Begins with the letter "G"?
PB: News travels fast, doesn't it?
Edna: Daahling, please! I dress you. I know your secrets.
PB: I hate to jinx anything at this stage, but Keely and I -- well we've been talking about the Big "O."
Edna: [shrugs] But once the clothes come off, it's not my problem.
PB: Err, not that Big "O". I mean the Oscars [mouths the word]. I just, y'know, hate to say it aloud. Tempting fate and all that.
Edna: The Oscars... Yes... It is time to embrace your future. Try it on. [she unzips the garment bag]
PB: [he slips into the jacket] You know, it's funny. All these years and I get a nomination for a role where I have a sleazy mustache, paint my toenails, and wear everything a size too small. You think I should accessorize this jacket with some gold chains? Just for luck?
Edna: [horrified] Gold chains?! That is acting, daahling. This [she fingers the material of the jacket] is life! Never confuse the two!
PB: Well, unless you're Johnny Depp.
Edna: Pay attention, daahling. I'll only explain this once. The fabric I have cunningly woven into this suit gives you a level of charm beyond that of mortal men.
PB: [raises eyebrow] Oh, very good.
Edna: And it has all of the usual refinements. Bullet-proof, flame-proof, acid-proof, critic-proof! Now you are ready to infiltrate the Oscar stronghold. You must press the flesh. Work the room like a politician. Make them think their vote is the only one that matters. Yet -- remain above it all. An artist. Aloof.
PB: That sounds a bit tricky. Maybe impossible. [begins to panic] It is impossible! Wait! I'm not sure I can --
Edna: [slaps him hard on both cheeks] Of course you can! You must! And you will be superb!
PB: [stunned, but coming around] Yes.. I will...superb.
Edna: You'll be wearing my greatest creation, daahling! And it would not have been possible without you. It magnifies the qualities of the wearer, you see. The charm is all yours.
PB: [brightens] Why, I suppose it is. [with meaning] Thank you.
Edna: I'm glad we had this little chat. Just remember who you are. [she pauses for emphasis] And who you are wearing.
PB: My red carpet appearance is yours to command.
Edna: I knew we'd see eye to eye, daahling.
*** Second thoughts, apparently. Tsk. Why did he turn out to be such an honorable twit? One should use every advantage for the Oscars. Small wonder that Edna has vowed never to speak to him again...

Brava! I give you a standing O -- that's for ovation. dahling. That is is the full scope of the SMA in Carpathain Eagle -- the next he's seen he's not really seen he' s dead and the last victim before they nab her gruesomeness. Typical though of his lack of luck regarding sex in his early work -- which seems to end in only one of two ways death (his or hers) or frigidity.

Brava! I give you a standing O -- that's for ovation. dahling. I'd rather have a standing O from Mr. Osnard, since that seems to be one of his most favorite positions -- but thanks just the same. That Edna / SMA skit is way past its sell by date. I should have done the recycling earlier, when it was Earth Day. But, hey, Oscar patter always smells like it's been in the fridge too long. Too right. When it came to sex he only starred in "snuff" films, as in "bang, you're dead" (the only bang he got) or "sn'uff darling, I have a headache."

Donna The download was quick and painless, but the clip I just viewed is missing the best part of Leonor Varela's introduction. As best I recall part of her lead-in was "Pierce Brosnan is a male -- and I mean a male..." No mystery how she came by the stress on that word having seen him in close and on the prowl as Andrew Osnard in Tailor of Panama. Did anyone else hear that part on their clip? My download starts where she's talking about Thomas Crown. I have the full intro on a VCR tape somewhere if Ace or anyone would like me to hunt for it.

I didn't even know it was airing that night and there it was and I quickly picked up a tape (an RS tape that was recording PAX) and shoved it in -- which is why the first part is cut off and the quality is not exactly crisp. (didn't have time to fix the reception) And yes, I'd like to have the dialogue of the rest of the intro. Ace

I wondered where it went, LOL! I'll see if I can find it on tape and mail it to you. Unfortunately, I think that the tape is is probably unlabeled, one of a number that are filled with dicey Cuisinarted snips of the SMA grabbed post-haste from the airwaves. Paul Greengrass could make a great mash-up out of them. It may take a while but I'm reasonably sure I haven't taped over that appearance at least.

I've been going through my tapes lately (as you can probably tell) and transferring them on to DVD (which makes it so much easier to rip stuff) and just cataloging and finding where I stuck some things has been a chore. I'm still trying to find the Oscars with Edna Mode. I know I have it (since I put it up on my site) but am still looking for it.

I've got the Oscars with Edna, but I just have to find it. I can make a copy for you.

Thanks so much for the kind offer Belinda but I have a pipeline for that already if I can't find it and I should be able to find it, darn it. It's just being sneaky.

Also up on YouTube is a two part interview of Pierce Brosnan appearing on the UK Clive Anderson talk show to promote TWINE in late 1099. Part One: Part Two: I just watched Pierce being most endearing on the Clive Anderson Show. I laughed so much! And so did Pierce, as a matter of fact. Those two are very funny together, imitating Bond actor mannerisms and finding Pierce's and generally being hystrical. And I love Pierce's hair in this, which is very Thomas Crown, just a little unruly, like Thomas Crown at the breakfast with Catherine.

Yes he looks gorgeous as does his hair. Very playful interview. <woman in audience squeals/screams -- again> "I like that woman" "You're Bond, you can probably have her." <on having to wait for Bond> Were you a better actor or were you past it? <on Grey Owl> "You're Hoot Hoot Seven" "A license to trill" I didn't think Pierce was going to make it though the beaver jokes.

Great pick of lines! I also liked how he remarked on the irony that an Irishman plays James Bond. Oh, and how he said about his freemanship of the town of Navan that they gave him the key for the town, but he didn't know what to do with it and wasn't sure whether they hadn't changed the lock already. One thing struck me about Clive Anderson mentioning Remington Steele: I believe had he mentioned it these days, post-DVD release as it were, there would have been applause. The show was so cool because Pierce tried so hard no to laugh all the time and still did. ;D
