t makes you wonder if all James Bond is good for is sleeping with women and getting them to hate their boyfriends or employers…
You’re forgetting getting killed by their boyfriends or employers (or Bond’s enemies): http://www.avclub.com/content/blog/james_bond_ladykiller

The best part of the article is: “Timothy Dalton is a very nice man. No Bond girls die on this watch.”
For some reason it made me laugh my ass off.

I always liked A View to a Kill, but I agree that this film has so many campy, campy moments. The geologist woman is so completely obnoxious–all she does is scream hysterically–and poor Grace Jones. Some of her ‘badass’ moments are just laughable. But I think the camp is why I enjoy this film. Sometimes, it’s so bad it’s good.
