Fleming wanted Hitchcock for the first Bond movie
Actually, besides From Russia With Love, i think that Goldfinger and Thunderball, both have a feel Hitchcockian moments too. And the same can be spoken about Skyfall. I'm thinking about Vertigo (that elevator scene, fall of Patrice in Shanghai)

The name's 24. Bond 24.
Bloodstone... what a nice title! Very Thunderball-esque & strong. Doesn't have to be a videogame adaptation, only use the bloody title! It's awesome! :)

You people must remember that in the deleted scenes of Diamonds are Forever we can clearly see Sir Sean Connery's butt, when he is in bed with Jill St. John... So, considering this, what's the problem with a shortless Daniel Craig?

Tennyson - the key to understanding Skyfall? (contains spoilers)
I don't think these are "wrong assumptions", by no means :) We can see a culture product by different lights. We can focus in story-plot viewpoints, or think about what the movie implies. Why is only the villain gay? Why not Mallory? …

You're right, Tuulia. Raúl is spanish and Raul portuguese. Of course it doesn't matter. Rodrigues/Rodriguez, spanish or portuguese... It's all the same, after all... Subalterns anyway... Skyfall is all about british imperialism.

Skyfall - favorite act?
Nice ideia to divide the film into small parts (acts) and then ask what is the favourite by the other fellas. It would be nice to that to all other films.

Goldeneye Score by Eric Serra: Severely Underrated?
At least, his score is something original. it's not a John Barry's ill-fated pastiche, just like, hmmm, some cues from that other fellow...

Skyfall has a (political) theme. Please let us discuss this underappreciated part of cinema.
Not only the last three films, but the old ones too (Thunderball, anyone? What about From Russia with Love and Dr. No?). In a certain way, The Man With The Golden Gun responded to the 1973's energy crisis political issues.

Personally, I don't see any problems in discussing things like this and no one was intolerant in the answers, wich is a nice thing. Why this thread must be shut down then? If it is because of the Title, it can be changed, I suppose.

Thank you all for the discussion. It's been very interesting to read your opinions. I just want to say that Diamonds Are Forever has other gay connotations than Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd's profile. There is a new Blofeld interpretation by Char…
