The best and worst James Bond movies: a ranked list
In celebration of the new Skyfall, we return to all 22 official James Bond films in search of the perfect spy cocktail, rating the best and worst Bond girls, 007 theme songs and leading actors with the licence to kill.

SLIDE SHOW: View our Bond list as one slide show >>
It's been 50 years of James Bond: five decades of gadgets, glamour and the coolness of a concept that shows no signs of dying. But does one installment tower over them all? Time Out's film critics have revisited childhood memories and six swarthy, eyebrow-arching actors—from Sean Connery's iconic pioneer to Daniel Craig's tough remodel—to consider all 22 of the official Eon entries (we're omitting 1967's intentionally silly Casino Royale and 1983's independently made Never Say Never Again, a semiremake of Thunderball). How do all the Bond girls stack up? How about those syrupy theme songs? (Delve into our Spotify playlist for an aural taste.) We give these components a shaken-not-stirred "Martini rating," as well as an overall ranking for the movie itself. Join us as we count backward toward number one with a bullet. And if your favorite spy hasn't gotten enough love, tell us in the comments.
Die Another Day (2002)
Pierce Brosnan bids farewell to Bond with a stinker that can fairly be called the franchise's Batman & Robin. There's a kernel of an interesting idea in the plot, about a North Korean general—who remakes himself through surgery as a white Anglo businessman—with plans to harness the sun's rays for a destructive laser. Actually, no: There's nothing not ridiculous about that, whatsoever. Ceaseless digital spectacle (parasailing on a tidal wave is a series nadir), barrel-scraping gadgets (an invisible car?) and quite possibly the worst Bond girl ever make this a cringingly tough sit. When Madonna is your most likable performer (she cameos as a fencing instructor), you know something is majorly off.
Theme song: A few eye-rolling lyrics aside ("I'm gonna avoid the cliché"—more like milk it, hon), Madonna's blood-pumping title tune is one of the film's few saving graces.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: Halle Berry's Jinx, a sassy NSA agent, is 100 percent arch line readings and calculatedly sensuous poses without a shred of genuine allure.
Martini rating:
The killer moment: Moneypenny consummates her flirtatious relationship with our polyamorous secret agent using Q's virtual-reality simulator.—Keith Uhlich
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
The second Brosnan Bond was a troubled production, with numerous script rewrites, openly unhappy performers (Teri Hatcher took her frustrations to the press) and the absence of hands-on producer Albert R. Broccoli, who'd recently passed away. So it's kind of a miracle the movie is as watchable as it is, even though it's still a pale shadow of Brosnan's inaugural GoldenEye. Monomaniacal media mogul Jonathan Pryce is a splendid villain—an unholy amalgam of Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates—who's out to use his headline-blaring influence to start a war between Britain and China. And there's a terrific central action scene, just the right mix of comedy and thrills, involving a motorcycle-helicopter chase through Saigon's slums.
Theme song: A bizarre mix of torch song, soaring ballad and coffeehouse improvisation, the lackluster title tune by Sheryl Crow immediately dies, and not tomorrow either.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: Hong Kong martial-arts superstar Michelle Yeoh is more equally matched with her male counterpart in terms of brain and brawn than past heroines, and she's got a hell of a roundhouse kick.
Martini rating:
The killer moment: Bond and his leading lady descend the outside of a skyscraper with the aid of a behemoth billboard of Pryce's baddie.—Keith Uhlich
A View to a Kill (1985)
How do you screw up a Bond film in which both Christopher Walken and Grace Jones plot to flood Silicon Valley by blowing up the San Andreas Fault? Here's your blueprint. The constant quips of 58-year-old Roger Moore come off like ossified shtick, and his chemistry with Bond girl Tanya Roberts is nonexistent. Then there's Walken's bleach-blond Nazi superman, Max Zorin, who's more of a petulant child than a terrifying psychopath. Aside from a vertigo-inducing climax involving a zeppelin and the Golden Gate Bridge, the action scenes are a mishmash of shoddy stunt-doubling and eyesore rear projection. Not the best note to go out on, Rog.
Theme song: The only Bond theme to go No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" is a glammy, delirious piece of '80s cheese.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: Roberts's bland geologist pales next to the snarling, statuesque Jones, who can kill with a camptastic glare as much as a poisoned fishing rod.
Martini rating for Jones:
The killer moment: Bond snowboards down a mountain to the Beach Boys' "California Girls"—a cheeky summation of the Moore era if ever there was one.—Keith Uhlich
Live and Let Die (1973)
Roger Moore started playing secret agent Simon Templar on TV's The Saint in 1962, the same year that Connery ordered his first onscreen shaken-not-stirred martini. In fact, Moore had been suggested as a potential Bond from the get-go. So the London-born actor would seem like a wise choice to take over the reins—a notion that his disastrous first Bond film was apparently hell-bent on disproving from start to finish. Moore's interpretation of 007 as a mobile cardboard cutout isn't helped by the fact that the producers decided to turn his inaugural entry into a blaxploitation movie, spiced with offensive ooga-booga voodoo scenes and cringeworthy comic relief. We'd have been happy to let this one die, frankly.
Theme song: It's ironic that one of the worst Bond films has one of the franchise's best theme songs, courtesy of Paul McCartney and Wings in full pop-genius mode.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: Could Jane Seymour's psychic tarot-card-reader Solitaire be any sexier? No. Could she be a little less bland overall? Definitely.
Martini rating:
The killer moment: A fellow agent encounters a parade of New Orleans mourners: "Whose funeral is it?" "Yours!"—David Fear
The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Having exhausted the novelty factor of a new 007 by this point, you can feel the producers straining to come up with ways to keep viewers interested in Bond 19: Here's an even more extreme version of a ski chase, one with helicopters, too. Our oil-pipeline plot is torn straight from today's headlines. Look, there's a new Q, and it's John Cleese. Pierce Brosnan brings a feline grace to the role, but even with Robert Carlyle playing an unfeeling terrorist—literally, as the bullet in his head means he can't experience pain—this is a Bond film on autopilot. An above-average entry would have been enough.
Theme song: Garbage's alt-rock take on what otherwise sounds like a typical Bond theme is passable but wanting.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: Sophie Marceau's bad girl brings the right mix of exotic beauty and predatory danger; the less said about Denise Richards's nuclear physicist (?!?), the better.
Martini rating:
The killer moment: The precredits set piece has Bond chasing down a comely assassin via speedboats and an explosive hot-air balloon.—David Fear
The Living Daylights (1987)
Roger Moore recedes into a mild, safari-suited haze; Timothy Dalton arrives to fill the tux. There's no denying the vigor Dalton brings to the action sequences (he did many of these stunts himself), and an aging franchise suddenly feels high-octane. But couldn't the dour actor have found his way to a little charm? No one leaves the theater shaken or stirred. Real-life world events have since transpired to make this movie's endgame laughable: Bond joins with heroic mujahideen forces in the Afghanistan desert (pay no attention to those long beards and terrorist intentions) to foil a Soviet counteragent.
Theme song: After the global success of Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill," producers thought it wise to go with Norwegian pretty boys A-ha, but the resulting title number (composed with John Barry in a reportedly spiteful collaboration) sounds thin.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: Bobbleheaded Maryam d'Abo, playing a Czech cellist and bedroom pawn, never seems comfortable with Dalton's hard-ass 007 (is it even possible?), plus she's especially helpless during the chase sequences.
Martini rating:
The killer moment: Bond and an evil henchman hang off the back of a cargo plane's open hatch while soaring thousands of feet over the desert. Oh, and there's a bomb onboard.—Joshua Rothkopf
Octopussy (1983)
Merely the idea of a movie named Octopussy proved more suggestive than watching the final product, a formative sexual disappointment for many '80s teens. This was the vehicle that put Roger Moore's Bond in a clown costume (redundant?) and also had him running around India searching for priceless Fabergé eggs and the jewel thief who might precipitate a nuclear war. Tennis pro Vijay Amritraj makes for an inert sidekick, while Gigi's Louis Jordan brings such a swishy suavity to his villain that the whole movie threatens to cave in on its own masculinity. For the first time in franchise history, Bond seemed thoroughly exhausted on every front.
Theme song: Adult-contemporary crooner Rita Coolidge moans her way through series embarrassment "All Time High," a song with lyrics so awful, Broadway legend Tim Rice should have returned one of his Tony Awards in shame.
Martini rating:
The Bond girl: It's a tribute to Maud Adams's timeless glamour and good nature that this was her second Bond film, almost a decade after The Man with the Golden Gun. Still, her character is a relic of diaphanous female intrigue.
Martini rating:
The killer moment: Undeniably, thrills arrive with Bond's daring escape via personal mini-jet; he pilots it through an open hangar at 150 miles per hour.—Joshua Rothkopf

Casino Royale is the best Bond movie with also one of the best lines. While discussing accommodations and their cover stories..... Craig to Green: "Don't worry, you're not my type." Her response, "What, smart?" haha Now that is witty and a Bond girl for the new millennium. Also on the train, listen to how he pronounces his watch brand, Omega. And her response, "Gorgeous."
As a Bond fan I actually didn't like that many now that I look at the list. I agree about Casino Royale, it was fantastic from beginning to end. They managed to update fight and chase scenes. LOVED the opening chase scene on foot and the crumbling Venetian palace at the end. Craig was amazing. Quantum of Solace: WHO can be afraid of Bolivian dictators (except the Bolivian population)?? Skyfall could have been really, really good, but too long and with Javier Bardem playing something too close to Hannibal. Then Goldfinger and From Russia With Love and let's also save Dr. No. Incredibly enough, the worst Bond of all -George Lazenby -- came out in a film that was otherwise really good; Diana Rigg saved it. The Brosnan era, frankly none. Don't buy him for one second, I think he wears hair spray. Until Craig, Timothy Dalton was the only one who brought intensity and the pyschopath edge to the role, but the films look too dated. And Roger Moore really took it to clown territory. They should have burnt every copy of Moonraker and Octopussy. I have a fondness for Live and Let Die -- so 70s, great song, and though he was as expressive as a roast beef I guess I saw it young enough so that it stuck -- and same for The Man with a Golden Gun. Great villain, Scaramanga/Christopher Lee. The rest frankly would be at the bottom of the list...But, let's all agree to disagree.
I totally find that casino royale is the best 007 movie!
You have to update this list. Skyfall is the best Bond film of all time.... nothing even comes close. Actually, novelty and sentimentality aside, all the D. Craig Bonds are by far the best Bond films, if you are being serious about this (nothing against Connery, who is one of my mentors). QoS was the weakest of the three D. Craigs, but was still an amazing film. I disagree with everything else on this list however, other than Casino Royale. The rest of this list makes little if any sense to me. Has the writer of this article even seen the films? Oh well, different strokes I suppose.
The flint moves were better
i love this 007 jemes band move andthis site good move good site
Okay, for whatever it's worth (not much), here's my ranking of the Bond films on a scale from 000 to 007: Dr. No - 004 - before the series hit its stride, but a great beginning. FRWL - 005 - even better, but not quite there. Goldfinger - 007 - just about perfect. Thunderball - 005 1/2 - very good but slow in parts. YOLT - 005 1/2 - Yes it's overblown, the plot is basically a series of "Kill Bond now!" scenes and SC looks bored, but the sets, the music and the locale make it a gem. OHMSS - 007 - Yes, GL is no SC, but in a way, he was just right for this particular film, far and away the most emotionally resonant of all 23. DAF - 004 - Routine story, non-threatening take on Blofeld, cheesy Vegas settings...and no mention of what went down in the film before! LALD - 002 - My personal least favorite thanks to bizarre voodoo villains and Smokey and the Bandit set pieces. TMWTGG - 003 - Marginally better. TSWLM - 006 - A near perfect Bond film. Moonraker - 005 - Sure, it's absurd at the end, but most everything leading up to the finale works very well. FYEO - 006 - Another expressionless lead actress, but a very well done back-to-basics entry in the series. Octopussy - 004 - Bland villains and clown suits - need I say more? AVTAK - 004 - Enlivened by a genuinely captivating bad guy but brought down by a weak leading lady and aging leading man. TLD - 005 - TD always made me uncomfortable in the role - too intense, even when trying for a light or romantic moment, but a good film nonetheless. LTK - 003 - A good film, but not a Bond film. Goldeneye - 006 - PB's best, though his always-trying-to-look-cool "Bond face" and heavy breathing delivery sometimes got annoying. TND - 005 1/2 - Solid all around. TWINE - 004 1/2 - Brought down by another centerfold-as-rocket-scientist leading lady (a la Tanya Roberts as a geologist in AVTAK). DAD - 005 - Yes, ridiculous gadgets and the awful CGI scene, but - unlike many of you - I like a dose of fantasy in my Bonds, which leads us to the DC era: CR - 005 1/2 - Exquisitely done (if a bit long), but even after seeing Skyfall the other day, I still can't quite buy DC as JB. He's a terrific actor, of course, and this may be more the storylines he's been given than him, but I've had it with intense, brooding, Batman-ish heroes of late; I miss the fun early Bonds of the past that had villains and sets you could never find in one of today's Jason Bourne movies. QOS - 003 - Instantly forgettable save one or two great scenes. Skyfall - 005 1/2 - Beautifully done and I certainly appreciate (a la OHMSS) any effort to give Bond more dimension such as a family back story, but another heavy, dark and downbeat entry in the series (plus I could have done without the Home Alone ending). Let me know what you think - thanks! Peter
Lots of negative comments made about Quantum of Solace, and while it wasn't nearly as good as Casino Royale it still beats any of the crap put out with Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan.
TO all the tasteless pigs dumping on Casino Royale for "not having any gadgets" or any of the other bull**** trappings that dragged down previous Bond films, I suggest this: Go read the books. Casino Royale was right on the money as far as Bond showing some emotion, as far as the tone, as far was what a good Bond film should be. To the idiot above in the Facebook comments with the Rambo facebook profile pic (Ryan Hoskins) and the tastelessness to think that the Brosnan atrocities are anything but, I suggest this: Run head-first into a wall as fast as you can because you are simply too stupid to live. The end.
Like most people, I would not have ranked these films the same way. Here's my list: 22. Die Another Day - a huge letdown. 21. Live and Let Die - simply awful. 20. License To Kill - Dalton's low point. 19. A View to a Kill - Roger Moore should have retired long before it. 18. The World is Not Enough - pointless. 17. Diamonds Are Forever - Connery should have stayed away. 16. Moonraker - lousy script and even worse special effects. 15. For Your Eyes Only - tepid plot, but gorgeous Bond girl. 14. Tomorrow Never Dies - Michelle Yeoh makes up for much of the film's shortcomings. 13. The Living Daylights - had its moments, but not great, either. 12. You Only Live Twice - passable, but not up to Connery's previous 4 Bonds. 11. The Spy Who Loved Me - fun, but not especially memorable. 10. Octopussy - goofy fun. Worth it if only to see Moore playing Bond playing a clown. 9. Quantum of Solace - revisionist Bond that doesn't entirely work, but has a very creepy villain. 8. On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Diana Rigg was terrific and Lazenby wasn't half bad. 7. The Man With the Golden Gun - Moore's best Bond. Christopher Lee was perfect. 6. Goldfinger - Connery's previous two and the one after it were better. 5. Goldeneye - Brosnan's best Bond, by far. 4. Dr. No - SPECTRE's auspicious debut. 3. Casino Royale - solid Bond. Fabulous location shots. Eva Green was sensational. 2. From Russia With Love - not one, but three awesome villains. Also had a great John Barry score. 1. Thunderball - hit all the marks. This is also Connery's favorite Bond.
I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you North Face Down Jackets http://www.cheapnorthfaceoutletstoreonline.net/north-face-down-jackets-x-22.html
You selected Casino Royale as the #1 Bond movie???? Seriously???? It felt like I was watching any number of tired Hollywood action movies, not a Bond movie. It lacked sophistication and Craig was no more than a beefcake thug with about as much charisma and smooth charm as Timothy Dalton. Quantum of Solace was poorly edited and photographed... and to top it off... seemed to be copying the "style" of a Bourne movie. One needed a barf bag to get through those ADHD-fests. Connery and Moore were the best, when they were allowed to be at their best with a good script. Brosnan would be third IMHO. A good portion of his films, sans GoldenEye, were stinkers. He knew it too. And OHMSS is quite overrated with a sillier than usual premise, except for the Mrs. Bond subplot.
Good list EXCEPT - move Casino Royale down 15 spots. Come on, an almost non existent cool car, almost no gadgets, below average Bond babe and a sensitive Bond. We can get that in a Jennifer Anniston movie.
It would take about 10 martinis for me to think the mousey French lady from Casino Royale deserves a 10 martini rating. Otherwise a fun list.
Decent list, dragged down by some glaring errors. The correct answer is: 1. Casino Royale 2. From Russia with Love 3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 4. Thunderball 5. GoldenEye 6. Dr. No 7. The Living Daylights 8. Tomorrow Never Dies 9. For Your Eyes Only 10. Goldfinger 11. The Man with the Golden Gun 12. The Spy Who Loved Me 13. License to Kill 14. Moonraker 15. The World Is Not Enough 16. Quantum of Solace 17. You Only Live Twice 18. Diamonds Are Forever 19. Live and Let Die 20. Die Another Day 21. A View to a Kill 22. Octopussy
A very good list! But I would put Tomorrow Never Dies a lot higher (it has a great villain and Bond girl, not to mention an excellent k.d. lang alternate theme song) and the ultra-campy Diamonds Are Forever a LOT lower (it's ludicrous in almost every way and creepily homophobic).
@Peter Berk It sounds like that you want Austin Powers. The Villains and Sets of yesteryear could not be put into a modern Bond film and pass muster.

A selective bibliography of articles in the various fields of Jewish studies and in the study of Eretz Israel. Material listed in Rambi is compiled from thousands of periodicals and from collections of articles - in Hebrew, Yiddish, and European languages- mainly from the holdings of the Jewish National and University Library, a world center for research on the Jewish people and Eretz Israel. The main criterion for inclusion in the bibliography is that the article be based on scientific research, or contain important information for such research.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

AP National Writer
CHICAGO (AP) -- It may be a man's world, as the saying goes, but lesbians seem to have an easier time living in it than gay men do.
High-profile lesbian athletes have come out while still playing their sports, but not a single gay male athlete in major U.S. professional sports has done the same. While television's most prominent same-sex parents are the two fictional dads on "Modern Family," surveys show that society is actually more comfortable with the idea of lesbians parenting children.
And then there is the ongoing debate over the Boy Scouts of America proposal to ease their ban on gay leaders and scouts.
Reaction to the proposal, which the BSA's National Council will take up next month, has been swift, and often harsh. Yet amid the discussions, the Girl Scouts of USA reiterated their policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, among other things. That announcement has gone largely unnoticed.
Certainly, the difference in the public's reaction to the scouting organizations can be attributed, in part, to their varied histories, including the Boy Scouts' longstanding religious ties and a base that has become less urban over the years, compared with the Girl Scouts'.
But there's also an undercurrent here, one that's often present in debates related to homosexuality, whether over the military's now-defunct "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy or even same-sex marriage. Even as society has become more accepting of homosexuality overall, longstanding research has shown more societal tolerance for lesbians than gay men, and that gay men are significantly more likely to be targets of violence.
That research also has found that it's often straight men who have the most difficult time with homosexuality -- and particularly gay men -- says researcher Gregory Herek.
"Men are raised to think they have to prove their masculinity, and one big part about being masculine is being heterosexual. So we see that harassment, jokes, negative statements and violence are often ways that even younger men try to prove their heterosexuality," says Herek, a psychologist at the University of California, Davis, who has, for years, studied this phenomenon and how it plays out in the gay community.
That is not, of course, to downplay the harassment lesbians face. It can be just as ugly.
But it's not as frequent, Herek and others have found, especially in adulthood. It's also not uncommon for lesbians to encounter straight men who have a fascination with them.
"The men hit on me. The women hit on me. But I never feel like I'm in any immediate danger," says Sarah Toce, the 29-year-old editor of The Seattle Lesbian and managing editor of The Contributor, both online news magazines. "If I were a gay man, I might -- and if it's like this in Seattle, can you imagine what it is like in less-accepting parts of middle America?"
One of Herek's studies found that, overall, 38 percent of gay men said that, in adulthood, they'd been victims of vandalism, theft or violence -- hit, beaten or sexually assaulted -- because they were perceived as gay. About 13 percent of lesbians said the same.
A separate study of young people in England also found that, in their teens, gay boys and lesbians were almost twice as likely to be bullied as their straight peers. By young adulthood, it was about the same for lesbians and straight girls. But in this study, published recently in the journal Pediatrics, gay young men were almost four times more likely than their straight peers to be bullied.
At least one historian says it wasn't always that way for either men or women, whose "expressions of love" with friends of the same gender were seen as a norm -- even idealized -- in the 19th century.
"These relationships offered ample opportunity for those who would have wanted to act on it physically, even if most did not," says Thomas Foster, associate professor and head of the history department at DePaul University in Chicago.
Today's "code of male gendered behavior," he says, often rejects these kinds of expressions between men.
We joke about the "bro-mance" -- a term used to describe close friendships between straight men. But in some sense, the humor stems from the insinuation that those relationships could be romantic, though everyone assumes they aren't.
Call those friends "gay," a word that's still commonly used as an insult, and that's quite another thing. Consider the furor over Rutgers University men's basketball coach Mike Rice, who was recently fired for mistreating his players and mocking them with gay slurs.

But he doesn't mind," said Martha Stewart answering questions for the American Made Awards.

Those fashion followers who haven't got a pair yet might find it somewhat silly as who wants to wear a shoe that hasn't been noticed by everyone?

Michel Euler/AP Christian Louboutin (above, with Raph-aelle Leboeuf) last month at Paris Fashion Week. "While i looked under the shoe, there was this big black mass," says Louboutin, wearing an informal rust blazer before a shoe signing — yes, shoe signing — at Saks Fifth Avenue Tuesday.

"Obviously not every one of them are actually produced," in france they designer says before checking his math. "Nonetheless it's about 2,000 styles annually." Louboutin sketches designs, and instead gives off the technical aspects to shoe engineers. Therefore, he isn't necessarily taking into consideration the comfort on the shoe because he draws Replica Herve Leger Dresses. He's gotten for making his shoes more dramatic through the years. He said when he started in 1992, there were complaints that the 3-inch heel was excessive. Now 6-inch heels are routine in fashion circles. "I don't consider the comfort with the shoe while i'm designing," he says. "It doesn't mean I'm not concerned with it, nonetheless it shouldn't start the structure process, otherwise you end up making Dr Cheap Moncler Jackets. Scholl's kind of shoes. But I don't here is a person taking a look at my shoes and thinking 'Oh, that looks so comfy.' That's not the amount of thing I'd personally take as being a compliment."

It could sound like a pretty unscientific (in any other case slightly arbitrary) strategy for determining shoe sexiness, but merely think of how inescapable the red-soled pumps are lately. Stars like Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez and Emma Stone opt for Loubs to get a good component of their appearances, while non-celebrity women are painting their off-brand soles red to obtain the look at a small fraction of the value. Even Yves Saint Laurent has been accused of attempting to copy Louboutin's signature design.

But what do you think of the Christian Louboutin pumps that snagged the most notable title? Look at photo of the so-called "sexiest" shoe and signify if you believe the option. Unlike the crowds who stood in line all day at Saks Fifth Avenue so Louboutin could sign their red-bottomed stilettos, the scene at Thrash's Memorial manse was downright cozy, with just 26 people invited to her Tex-Mex themed dinner. Clothes code was Texas cocktail casual, which translated to boots, jeans, pearl snap Western shirts and chaps, although some pairs of Louboutin heels were spotted inside mix. "Christian doesn't make Texas everything that often, so his public appearance at Saks was designed to end at two, but at five there were still a distinct people waiting Alexander Wang Bag. He's converted into a Texas rock star," Thrash said. Inquired on the red-sole trademark dispute between Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent, he was succinct. "It's over." Talking about very busy days in Houston, Louboutin was far more loquacious. "I recieve much positive energy on the ladies who visit me Alexander Wang Sale. I love it anybody inform you their story. It creates a sense of community," he explained. What will people do for the signed shoe by Christian Louboutin, the high-end Parisian designer whose footwear customers include Jennifer aniston, Oprah, the Olsen twins and Danielle Steel? In New Orleans, Jessica Alvendia headed the road at Saks 5th Avenue—and she or he came to 9 a.m. Friday for any 3 p.m. appearance by the designer. Some steps behind her a husband from Charleston, S モンクレール.C Alexander Wang Rocco Sale., explained that he had driven 12 hours straight, purchased an $835 footwear, together hoped to surprise his wife.

French shoe designer Christian Louboutin poses for photographers when he opens his original retrospective exhibition, with the Design Museum london on April 30. AP Photo / Jonathan Short It absolutely was the 1st-ever New Orleans appearance for that designer, that has arrived at command the top with the women's market with shoes that also have a glossy red sole UGG ブーツ 通販. For Louboutin's signing, the shop hired a fresh Orleans Police Department detail cop, engaged a jazz combo, and directed hovering journalists to some lounge that offered a great view of the backstage scurrying that happens when an enormous name is incorporated in the house. From the hubbub, Louboutin was the picture of calm. A genial fellow which has a trim, gray goatee, he was sequestered in a very side room with two assistants, an array of markers, contributing to 50 pairs of shoes that waiting customers had pre-purchased. He wore jeans plus a golf shirt. He set his glasses high on his forehead, smiled easily, and usually appeared as if someone's French uncle away, except the 3-toned patent and suede lace-up shoes using the orange piping: something from his men's collection UGG クラシックミニ. "While i go through the shoes these customers have selected, We can tell that New Orleans differs from the others compared to other cities. Almost all of my American customers purchase plainer, more classic designs. Here they have got selected shoes with vivid colors and lots of embellishments," he explained. "I additionally notice this: there seems to certainly be a special fascination with my highest heels: no flats for brand spanking new Orleans Herve Leger One Shoulder Bandage Dress." Once i go through the shoes these customers have selected, I can tell that New Orleans is differentHow high Christian Louboutin Cheap? Make that 7 inches, folks. Plus the materials are equally extravagant, by styles featuring startling combinations: one shoe included suede and red velvet tops, heels engrossed in fuzzy cowhide within a cheetah pattern, and also a constellation of gold studs. Every shoe has red soles: a trademarked element that had been recently upheld in federal court, when the French fashion house of Yves Saint Laurent, tried to market shoes with a similar element. "I think lots about silhouettes and how to make an item that could look good in movement, but I have a tendency to celebrate detail and ornament. It's comes through in everything I do, whether collecting furniture or thinking about art after i travel." This Christian Louboutin spiked red-patent pump was named the sexiest shoe of 2012 by Footwear News. It's obtainable in similar colors at Saks.

When he overturned a glass of water, his assistants jumped to avoid wasting the shoes, not the cell phones that sat on his signing desk Alexander Wang Rocco Bag. That's what goes on when some popular styles cost around $4,000 モンクレールレディース. "I didn't get older imagining i has to be shoe designer, but in Paris an example may be encountered with thinking about luxury, towards artisan tradition. It really is something came naturally if you ask me," Louboutin said. Selling shoes also comes naturally towards designer: "I commenced with one shop in Paris i did the selling with one other person. I don't have plenty of time to the now, but I want to keep my link with customers, while using stories they let me know, with the dreams and also the special requests モンクレール 通販. It's a direct personal link that informs my designs—- and yes it continues with these personal appearances Alexander Wang Rocco." When it reaches time for it to design, however, Louboutin likes to be alone. "For 2 weeks, I unplug the device and draw. Sometimes having a single assistant," he said. "Within my factory, outside Milan, I still work hands-on. I trim and correct. I like the smell of leather." His headquarters is surely an apartment in the factory. "Back in the day, I was forced to leave the factory at closing serious amounts of head over to some boring hotel watching videos," he was quoted saying. "Now, I've got the run of my personal factory after hours Moncler Women Jackets. If I get an idea, I am able to test that out without any help Herve Leger Skirts Replica. Regardless if I'm asleep, I keep working. The shoes they are under my pillow. The ideas float up. I dream of shoes and that i try and get them to become a Moncler Mens." C UGGブーツ.L. is only going to 3 cities for this trip. My sister talked to him and the man said it's not his very first time that in New Orleans. This person is a rock star and hubby can have gone anywhere else. There are hundreds of people in line. Hats to him and Saks. Even stood a saints O lineman waiting together with his wife. Issue for that Big Easy! For most woman, a lot of the good thing about Christian Louboutin heels is in the dramatic flash of red within the sole. However Martha Stewart has admitted that she actually is not a fan on the label's signature, and uses black paint to obscure it Herve Leger Dresses. The media mogul, 71, told InStyle: 'Start to see the soles? I paint them black.' Paint it black: Martha Stewart covers the red soles of her Christian Louboutin heels because she doesn't just like the colour Explaining the unlikely practice, that will be considered sacrilege by many fashionistas who covet the $700+ shoes, she continued: 'I don't like them red, despite the fact that they're his trademark.'

From highly publicized court battle in 2011 with top designer Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin retains the prerogative to make use of large red on the bottom of his shoes, whenever the shoe is some other color besides red. YSL could sell its shoes with red soles given that the main shoe is red. French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) would like to end its dispute with Paris-based shoe designer Christian Louboutin with his fantastic company, Louboutin SA, for good. Louboutin sued YSL in April 2011, claiming YSL's all-red shoes infringed Louboutin's famous red-soled shoes, how the company began selling in 1992 and patented in 2008. In September, the next Circuit found that Louboutin is eligible to trademark protection because of its red-soled shoes but just has the authority to trademark red soles that contrast with the remainder of the shoe, meaning YSL can continue selling its monochromatic shoes Christian Louboutin Replica Heels.

These are beloved by many women because of their style, for his or her height, for craftsmanship and, probably above all, because of their status. Few offer more immediate status than Louboutin, as a result of that instantly recognizable red sole. The only real more potent solution to broadcast your social caste can be wearing a shirt having said that, "I will spend $895 on fucking shoes." …But Martha Stewart doesn't should.

Lawmakers have returned to Capitol Hill for the start of the lame duck session and even with mounting financial problems and a growing scandal in the intelligence community, lawmakers from areas affected by Hurricane Sandy are hopeful securing more funds for relief efforts will be a priority. YNN's Erin Billups has more.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "New York has suffered huge losses, so we're gonna need all the help we can get," Senator Charles Schumer said.
While the federal government has already begun sending aid to New York and other states affected by Hurricane Sandy, lawmakers say much more will be needed.
"This federal government needs to have a more aggressive reaction to what took place there. What's happened so far has been great but to be able to sustain that is going to take a commitment from this Congress to make that happen," said Queens Representative Joe Crowley. "Already we will have used all of FEMA's budget in the first quarter of this fiscal year."
FEMA has just about $7 billion dollars available in its disaster relief fund. Governor Andrew Cuomo says New York will need around $30 billion. This comes as lawmakers return to Capitol Hill, focused on averting the so-called fiscal cliff, a series of drastic automatic cuts and tax increases. Schumer says securing more aid will be a heavy lift.
"The House is controlled by republicans. They don't like any disaster aid and some of the programs need more money, so we'll do our best," Schumer said. "But we don't want to give anyone the illusion that this is going to be very easy."
Already, a bi-partisan group of 44 House members has sent a letter to leadership asking them to support legislation that would appropriate more money for FEMA.
Crowley said, "The longer it takes for us to get on our feet in this area, the longer it will drag on our nation's economy, so it's in all of our interests."
Lawmakers in affected states have begun doing their own assessment of how much may be needed.
New York City's lone republican, Congressmen Michael Grimm, says if FEMA needs more money to help affected areas, he will work with his colleagues to make that happen.
"The election season is over and reasonable heads are going to sit down. I'm certainly one of those reasonably minded people that is willing to do what we have to do to," said Grimm.
Sources say it is up to the President to request more money for FEMA from Congress.It is still unclear whether that is something the President plans to do.

Select Harvest Soups
Posted by
CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY -- The label on this can of Select Harvest Soup reads: "100% Natural" and "Whole Grain Pasta Fagioli". The label additionally pictures a bowl of soup chock-full of pasta and nice looking veggies. To my surprise, I discovered a horrible tasting, watery mess inside the can. The substance was unlike Pasta Fagioli in that it reeked of a meaty flavor. In dismay, I read the ingredients to find that this weird substance contains chicken stock, chicken fat, pork, and beef extract.
This product contains a fully deceptive front label in the regard that Pasta Fagioli is a vegetarian dish (contains no meat).

Good post Sherry. I saw this soup at my local market and it looked nasty. Read the label and I thought it was dog food. Like you said, chicken fat, pork and beef extract. Disgusting!! Also high amounts of sodium. Campbells puts a fancy label on it and jacks up the price. Do NOT but this product.
Venice09 on 02/02/2012:
Pasta F@gioli is not automatically a vegetarian dish.
"Pasta f@gioli is commonly made using cannellini beans or borlotti beans and some type of small pasta such as elbow macaroni or ditalini. The base is generally olive oil, garlic, minced onion, and spices, along with stewed tomato or tomato paste. Some variations do not include tomatoes at all, and are made from a broth. Modern restaurant recipes may be vegetarian, or include an Italian meat such as prosciutto."
Although the soup does sound awful, there is nothing wrong with it containing meat or meat byproducts if it's not labeled vegetarian.
spiderman2 on 02/02/2012:
I would never assume food is vegetarian unless it is clearly marked so. Many soups and sauces use chicken broth as a base. For example, lots of people that don't eat meat on Fridays assume clam chowder contains no meat but many recipes start off with bacon.
Venice09 on 02/02/2012:
I didn't realize bacon was in so many foods. But even if something is labeled vegetarian, I would still check the label for ingredients like chicken broth. It never hurts to look at the ingredients.
I will say again though that this soups sounds terrible, vegetarian or not.
Inat on 02/02/2012:
fat and stock are bases of many soups. a pure vegetable broth is not very tasty but a meat based broth is more robust. For the most part, stocks are an emulsion of fats and proteins which is where most of the flavor comes from. Canned soups are gross regardless of where they come from or their base stock.

I drove tomato trucks several years to Campbells Sacramento plant, before I was permanently injured unloading 60-55 gal barrels of frozen tomato paste, 480-630lbs each, My trailer was low so they gave me a ramp which made my trailer point downhill towards the tractor, I had already unloaded 2 48,000 lb loads that Am and on way back got this load, they gave me a 1920'2 dolly wanted 4 per pallet, nearly pinched my fingers off a few times trying to get them on straight, after 20 my back blew out,At least I wasn't killed like a forklift driver I saw on a ramp that flipped him over!The water recirculates to empty the tomatoes and its black and stinky! smells like sewer water, a employee said its close to it!

Rotten Vegetables
Posted by
I am SO disgusted with Campbell's soup products at this point. I grew up with Campbell's, raised my daughter with Campbell's as well, and for the last few years I have noticed the vegetable soups containing large chunks of rotted potatoes and carrots. In fact, about 1/2 of the can is filled with rotted potatoes and carrots. I don't even feed my dog rotted food. Where is the FDA? Why aren't they doing something about this? What is wrong with you people?? You're supposed to provide an edible product! Campbell's.. if you can't provide a quality product anymore, maybe you folks should take a hint and pack it in.
Products effected that I'm aware of are:
Campbell's Vegetable soup (ABC)
Campbell's Old-fashioned Vegetable soup
Campbell's Beef with Barley and Vegetables Soup
Campbell's Beef with Vegetables Soup

Did you ever contact Campbells since its been happening for the last few years that your have had rotten vegetables in their soups? If not, now would be a good time. Let them know.
MJGoldfarb on 05/06/2011:
Just a thought - is the product "out of date" shelf life wise?
bargod on 05/06/2011:
They also have a severe lack of balls (meatballs) in their soups too.
Venice09 on 05/07/2011:
I have never seen rotten vegetables in Campbell soup. They may be mushy, but not rotten. Take Skye's advice and contact them. See what they have to say.
dale1774 on 03/30/2012:
Half of can was carrots probably.
Tom Jankowski on 06/19/2014:
You aren't the only one. Add Bean with Bacon, Chunky Sirloin Burger, Chicken Gumbo to the list. The soups have rotten spots on the veggies and the soups taste like rot, dirt and mold. Money grubbers feeding us garbage for our dollars just to enjoy their profits and high living. Never buying sany of their products again.

Change in Taste
Posted by
I grew up on Campbells Chicken n Stars, Chicken w/Rice and Chicken Noodle. Gave it to my boys as they grew up - their favorite was the Double Noodle and Mega Noodle. You can't watch TV without seeing the ads boasting of the switch to sea salt. I guess this may be a healthy move but it is a huge negative in regards to taste. The soups now seem to have a chemical taste - slightly bitter. Could you not have just reduced the salt so I could add my own salt to taste? Gave the Chicken Noodle to my son when he was sick and he couldn't eat it. I'm glad the last can is gone from my pantry and will now buy another brand which has the normal amount of salt but at least it is edible.
Very disappointed,

Dirm - I know they did back in 2005 or so. It was unusual food actually. Their tomato soup had only 40 mg of sodium and ... well to be honest it tasted a little funny and I had to add a touch of salt.
I haven't seen it in stores since then but I just found it on Amazon so it still exists. You might have to special order it though, or see if there's a speciality store that carries it. I don't think it's a high-selling item, but .. at least they still make tit.
Look for a label like this: http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/images/Campbell%20Cream%20of%20Mushroom%20Soup.jpg

Mmm Mmm Bug
Posted by
When I opened a can of Campbell's Soup I encountered a bug. Considering I rarely eat Campbell's soup I thought what are the chances? Apparently it is not that uncommon. Perhaps Campbell's could put a warning on the label "may contain traces of insect". That way others can be forewarned to keep an eye out for creepy critters before they eat.

The odds are slim. However, keep in mind Campbells packages more than soups and you can get insects in any can of processed food, especially if fresh veggies are used. I once got a steamed (he was completely red) cricket in a can of green beans.
No complaints filed. No phone calls demanding restitution. Just tossed the sucker out. I grew up picking veggeies out the garden so a cooked bug or two was not uncommon.
Hugh_Jorgen on 01/02/2010:
For some interesting reading, check out the FDA's permissible level of contaminants sometime. Like LadyScot said, if you deal with nature, all parts of nature are liable to find themselves in the can occasionally.
For example:
* Insect filth: Average of 225 insect fragments or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples
* Rodent filth: Average of 4.5 rodent hairs or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples

Starlord on 01/02/2010:
Our daughter will not use ketchup, as someone told her the FDA allows a certain level of insect parts. I have told her that ANY food has allowable levels for insect parts or rodent hairs, etc. It is impossible to remove every bit of contamination, and the FDA is realistic enough to set accpetable levels. It is disconcerting to find what appears to be a German cockroach in their soup, but they can contact Campbell's and they will reimburse you by sending you coupons for a lot more than you paid for that can of soup.

Campbell Soup at Hand
Posted by
MARYSVILLE, WASHINGTON -- Having not had your cCampbells Soup on the Go for a while I thought since I had coupons for it I would give it a try again. Imagine my surprise it was the same as I had it a long time ago. A lot of broth, but no chicken and Star shaped pasta which was supposed to be in it.
Now it would be nice if you put the items in the soup that it announces on the can that it has, but there was none and that was a waste of my money to say the least. I will not pick it up at the grocery store again.

Chunks of fat in Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup
Posted by
ORANGE, NEW JERSEY -- I brought a dozen cans of Campbell's classic chicken noodle soup that was on sales. The expiration date on the cans were September 18, 2013. I opened and warmed the first can and was disgusted when I tasted it. I thought that may be my taste buds were off and had another sip of the broth. Terrible. When I further examined the soup in my spoon, instead of the usual tender, pink chicken cubes, there were cubes of chicken fat. Fat particles floated throughout the broth. I overlooked it and said, "Probably one that got away from a bad batch. Not long after, I opened another can and there was the same mess of soup I'd had previously. Once again, I opened another can and experienced the same horror. I will be returning the cans to the supermarket. I'm really disappointed because I've been enjoying the 'Chicken Noodle' soup since childhood. "Shame on you Campbell".

since chicken is a natural product, some fat can be expected. this sounds like a quality control issue.
contact them with the label data, tell them your styory, and often times they will send you coupons for free products.
DebtorBasher on 01/15/2012:
I understand your disappointment. I'm still a big fan of Campbell's condensed soups and have found there is more fat in the chicken noodle soup than there used to be. You really do need the fat to make the broth good, but they shouldn't subsititue the meat for the fat. Let them know about it, best thing to do when you write to them is take some pictures of it...they will take it up with their quality control department and most likely send you some coupons.
Venice09 on 01/15/2012:
When I open a can of soup. the fat is usually floating on the top. I just spoon it off before pouring the soup into a pot. But fat shouldn't be the primary ingredient.
You can use this form to contact the company directly:
Bill on 11/23/2012:
I used to eat it often, until I poured a can into a strainer. I examined the "chicken" and it was chunks of gristle. Disguting garbage. That was over twenty years ago and have not eaten it again.
CProsperi on 04/14/2014:
I've not only found chunks of fat but also 2 fairly large wood splinters (1" and 1.1/2") floating in the soup. When I entered my disgust on the Campbell website, someone from their home office called me to apologize and send me some coupons for free soups. Are they kidding? Had my 2-year-old grand-daughter swallowed one of these splinters, Campbell would really find out what sorry is. I will attempt to find every website with reviews of Campbell Soup and tell my story - not that I think they care one way or another.

Campbells "To Go" Throw Up Soup
Posted by
I have loved Campbell's soup since I was a kid. Unfortunately In the last 5 years I have noticed a decline in quality of a lot of products. I normally get instant soup from the dollar store next to work, the 2 for a dollar no name brand. I was shopping one day and noticed the campbells instant microwavable soup and thought if the dollar store stuff is good then this must be awesome! Unfortunately I was sadly mistaken. not only do the noodles taste like moldy cardboard but it has 300mg more sodium and 50 more calories than the stuff I get at the dollar store! so please beware if you can taste food.
On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 1 only because the 5 pieces of corn in it were good.

I haven't noticed a decline in quality of Campbell soups, but I've never had the instant variety. I can't imagine that tasting very good regardless of price.
SCIFgirl on 02/02/2012:
Thank goodness for Crock Pots! You would be surprised at the ease of making your own soup in one of these. You put your ingredients into the pot, add water and set on low/high whatever, and go on about your day to work, etc. Come home and your dinner is ready when you come through the door.
dale1774 on 03/30/2012:
Campbell's chunky soups should be called "carrot soup with something". I have measured several of the last cans I bought and average half cup of carrots per can. Not even a quarter cup of meat. One can never had enough meat to cover the bottom of measuring cup.
V.Miller on 03/06/2014:
I complained to Campbell's about their Soup on the Go ... remove plastic cap, heat soup, replace cap .. sip and enjoy. Seriously? .. Put that unsanitary - who knows where it has been - plastic cap back on and drink from it ?? Their reply did not even address how stupid this is !

New Soup Container Blew Up In Microwave
Posted by
Purchased Campbells Select Harvest Clam Chowder in the New Container. Just spent half an hour cleaning the inside of our microwave, as it blew up and then tipped over all on its own. We have had this soup before in the can, but their new microwaveable container needs some technical work. Really ticked as the soup was on sale and my wife bought 20 of these new containers.
Another drawback; is that the containers have a perforated lid; and the units do not have cellophane wrap; so there was dirt in between the top of the can and the lid.

Thanks for the review. Juniper...this is a good warning for parents to warn their kids if they use these. Should be a good reminder for people to not open the microwave as soon as the timer stops because if they reach for the food too soon, it can explode right in their hands and cause a serious burn. I've seen reports on that.

Question to OP. Did you remove the lid before putting the plastic lid back on, as the directions say? I have had Campbells andNutri-System which uses the same type of container. Both made loud popping sounds and jumped about a half inch while heating. If there is schmutz between the plastic cover and metal lid, just rinse it off, just as you would a regular can with dirt on it.

My dad and I took an egg, put it in the microwave for a few minutes. we took it out, and just looked at it for a good 4-5 seconds and BOOOOOM! there was egg literally EVERYWHERE in the kitchen, and all over us. We just looked at each other and started cracking up! It was the most awsome thing ever! cleaning up the mess, on the other hand...was not funny.

This was the first time I tried your select soup and am really glad I only bought one. This soup was the nastiest soup I have ever ate. When I opened the can the smell was disgusting, but went ahead and heated it up, one taste and I threw it in the garbage disposal. Does anyone taste this soup before you sell it. I have used Campbells soups all my life, and this is really bad for your company as far as taste and smell. I hope you do better on the next soups you make, but for me I will not purchase the select soups ever again. Thank you

I certainly agree, Christine, however instead of bothering to make a complaint about the soups, I just don't buy them. Here's a way to make these low-this, no-that soups (or other foods) taste good: Load them up with butter, salt, and MSG. :) Only time I've ever bought them is when I had a coupon where I got it at practically no cost and didn't make the second purchase.
Right, Lady, everyone's tastes differ. I'm in agreement with OF and your family. Love liver if done properly. When ordering it out and I'm asked: Bacon or onions, my answer is 'Yes.'
I'll wait for my troll to appear with comments about my lifestyle, tastes, etc. :)

I know this is an extremely old post, but I have to say, for anyone else that comes across this, I totally agree. The taste wasn't great but it was better than the smell. It's not just the smell of broccoli because I LOVE broccoli and the smell has never bothered me. I cannot describe the smell, it was awful and it made me sick to my stomach, literally. When you open the can, it actually smelt okay, but then I heated it up. I didn't even notice the smell until the first bite, but it was horrible. I couldn't even finish the soup. I was disappointed because broccoli potatoe soup is my absolute favorite. It was like nothing I have ever smelled before and for a while I couldn't even figure out where the smell was coming from. Once I throw the soup away, the smell went away.
