Things I like today

As a youngster, I spent years wondering why in A View To A Kill James Bond was boning a man. Grace Jones played the androgynous villainess ‘May Day’, whom according to the writers was ‘the product of a Nazi genetic breeding experiment which gave children great strength and intelligence at the expense of making them psychopathic’. Assuming that engineering a race of angry, superhuman black people was top of the Nazi agenda, it was as plausible a backstory for unearthly diva Jones as any other.
