WHY ON EARTH do Ilike this movie ?

I know this movie is one of the weakest of the entire franchise : Tiffany is stupid, Bond is lazy, Blofeld is unscary and camp, the plot is ridiculous and the setting is not exotic at all.

But for some reasons, I love the movie for its strange athmosphere, its era, some of its musical themes...

It's almost "so bad that it's good".
Does anyone feel the same way ?

This movie rules, and anyone that doesn't like just needs a good slap

Because Tiffany is stupid, Bond is lazy, Blofeld is unscary and camp, the plot is ridiculous and the non-exotic location some how works.

Also I think the Austin Powers series make this more acceptable as it is thier template.

Diamonds are Forever is much better than You Only Live Twice!
