Stylishand classic, Blake is brought to life with top grain leathers, chrome and bold accents. The Blake leather shoe shine kit has everything necessary to keep your shoes looking their most brilliant. Includes 2 polish applicator brushes, 2 shoe shine brushes, 2 cotton flannel polishing cloths, Mr. Wolf's shoe shine in black and brown, with ultrasuede lining and snap closure.

You're all on the spot with the meaning . .=)Imo just like you've all said, it's about him putting in all the effort into the relationship. Whether it be sharing his past with her, helping her cope with her own demons, whatever the obstacles they face, he seems to be always giving but never on the receiving side.He knows that she's one tough cookie to keep a hold of, but He knows that regardless of how complicated she can be, she'll always be his girl especially since they've gone through a lot of shyt together, and they'd be foolish to let go of eachother after that. Sometimes he finds it hard to believe that she's still his, after all the problems that life has thrown at their relationship and as Matthew said he appreciates her because of that.


Of course it does ;). But it's about a relationship in which HE is the part, that doesn't want to lose her, even if it takes his everything. I think, the "threat" spoken of in this song is the threat to leave him, but he loves her and so he does everything to keep her, even if it's hard to take (or "swallow") for him.


I do like his line about how she will run in his sleep. I can relate, to care about someone so much and then they are gone after you gave it everything, though your mind is no longer yours when your sleeping, and there she is.


The beginning of this franchise is an interesting place to start because while Dr. No does have some of the hallmarks of a James Bond film, it is also by nature one of the least James Bond-y of the films.


There were plans for her to be a recurring character with the gag being that he gets called away just as things start to get interesting between them and, honestly, I wish this had happened as Grayson is kind of delightful in the role.


The third James Bond film, by nearly any metric, was a huge success. It made its $3 million budget back in two weeks, a pace so unheard of at the time that it set a Guinness record for Fastest Grossing Movie. Critics of the day loved it and even today it sits at a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.


At the end of the day, I still think Goldfinger is fun, but for me, it pushes a little too far into the misogyny and into the silly territory to be a truly great movie. Everything has been dialled up to eleven. There is more of everything and everything is more, and after a film like From Russia With Love which heightened the reality but kept it (relatively) grounded revisiting this one was actually a bit jarring.


What I have found most interesting about revisiting these first three Bond films is that each of them brings a critical piece of what we commonly think of as a Bond film to the table, but none bring the whole picture.


It has been so long since I have seen any of these films that I had almost forgotten that the franchise had a start, that it evolved with each entry over time. It is going to be interesting to continue watching and re-learn how it got from this point to the films we know and love today.
