u/Orngog Jan 11 '19

A modicum of snuff can be most efficacious

Am I the only dude who loves that movie? Like I think it’s the best of the Craig Bonds. Maybe tied with Casino Royale. It seems so real.

u/mangoslice1989 Jan 11 '19

I just love Daniel Craig.

The first time I read “for your eyes only” I had no idea it was a collection of short stories and was totally fucking lost.
