    I just wonder if he even enjoys acting anymore, and doesn't milk his ability just for the cash.

    Do an update on this as can't quite recall what I put before

    In no order of preference, I don't really have a 'favorite' film

    # Midnight Express (1978)

    # The Third Man (1949)

    # Ice Cold In Alex (1957)

    # Superman II (1980)

    # The Beach (2000)

    all very good titles that are always a few good hours spent

    @Baltimore_007, ahh, I love 'The Beach.' Such an underrated, highly unique movie. I haven't seen it in years.

    Watch Parker around 2:25. She's just stunned at how rude he's coming off.

    Casino Royale has to be in my top five now. I mentioned it before as a possibility, but I'm almost certain it is now.

    I watched it again on my current Bondathon. There are literally <30 seconds of the film I had any issue with whatsoever.

    @StirredNotShaken, I know how you feel. Definitely in my top three Bond films. What are those less than thirty seconds you have an issue with?

    "Rolex?" "OMEGA." Worst product placement ever until Skyfall.
    Mathis expositing during the poker game.

    That's it. And the Mathis thing is a VERY minor gripe.
  • WillyGaloreWillyGalore

    Yes I had a problem with Mathis explaining to the audience how poker works. Found it quite patronising. My other gripe would be the defibrillator sequence.

    I liked the poisoning sequence. It was really well-filmed and I've always considered Vesper saving Bond to be necessary in order for him falling in love with her to be believable.

    Oh the poisoning sequence is great. I don't have a problem with that. Love how it's shot when he stumbles into the toilet.
  • StirredNotShakenStirredNotShaken Toronto

    No but I like the defib sequence as well. I mentioned when Bhattacharjee sadly disappeared that the role he played in that scene was very memorable despite its insignificance.

    It seemed to be to be a sequence that was included to break up all the "card playing stuff". Felt a bit like decision by committee:

    "Right then, we need some action here. There's too much poker. Any ideas? I know lets have Bond poisoned, then his heart stops. But don't worry cos he'll have antidote and a defibrillator in the glove box"

    It's a gadget that was written in and serves no other purpose but for that scene

    @WillyGalore, and THOSE are the gadgets that I hate. Those gadgets that can only be used in a very unique situation. I also love how Vesper runs up and knows exactly how to fix the defibrillator and save Bond.

    I couldn't agree with you more. It's the worst moment in the film (other than the "thank you for plugging our nice brand of watch").

    Cheers. Pleased to meet you acquaintance, @Creasy47. And a Brosnan fan, no doubt. I thought I would remain peerless.

    I didn't really know where to post this, but since School of Rock is a film I really love, I thought this thread would be a proper enough place:

    For some reason, I got through around five to ten minutes of 'Traffic' and then stopped. I'm not sure if it was out of a lack of interest or something else, but I need to get back to it and give it another shot.
