Bobby in the shower wasn't a tricky concept either. As I keep saying, understanding the concept isn't the difficult bit. It's not thinking it's bloody daft concept that I can't manage. I wish they'd have knocked out a 'Bond by numbers' film like…

If I'd have been doing the script, (what a horrible thought!), I'd have had Safin refer to the kid as 'this child' instead of 'your daughter', and left the reveal moment to Maddy with the line "she does have your eyes". When Safin said 'daughter' t…

I wasn't wanting a big reveal moment, (I'd rather the character not have a kid at all), but when I watched it the first time, I was hoping for something a little . . . tidier.

When Safin said he was "in love with Madeline Swan" I was going 'oh, I didn't know that'.'. Like a lot of the plot, this 'revelation' felt shoe-horned in. And wasn't that the same speech where Safin told Bond (and the audience) that the kid was, in …

I think there's a few deleted scenes there. Reynard on the balcony and Reynard with Cigar Girl weren't in the film either I don't think.

Wasn't Live and Let Die never given the 'girls and guns' treatment, because there was a movie tie-in paperback in print at the same time? I think there's a 76% chance I'm miss-remembering this, so be kind when you put me right.

I can see the flaws in NSNA, but I'm glad it exists. On the other hand, No Time to Die is the only James Bond movie I wish they'd never made.

I'd rather Craig had done one after SF. And I mean 'done one' in the Liverpudlian way.

I suppose one person's silly is another persons comedy. I liked him swigging the drink before throwing the tray, but I thought him brushing himself off in an embarrassed way after popping up from the bar was a bit too much. For me.

People always say Dalton was the closest to Fleming's Bond, (and I love TD's Bond), but for me, Connery in From Russia With Love has the balance spot on. Connery is magnificent in Goldfinger, but he's a bit lighter, a bit more flippant, less gritty …

I'd love the introduction of the new Bond to be Viv's reaction to him as she answers the door. If I remember right she thought he was just another thug gangster coming out the shadows. Something like 'oh god, not another one'.

It does feel to me like they've painted themselves into a bit of a corner with the ending of NTTD. The new Bond can't be an actor simply taking up the reigns and playing the same character as the previous movie, like during the 'classic era'. Now, t…

I think LTK was generally more gory than other Bonds. The guy impaled on the forklift and Krest's head exploding are two bits that spring to mind. I think these scenes were more graphic than what went before. Off the top of my head, the cuts I re…

Yea, the 'oh damn' could have been him recognising that Bond had a lighter, and he was doused in gasoline. I'd like to see the UK cinema cut of this movie again actually, because the DVD I have has longer scenes in than I remember in the cinema. I …

[/quote] Did anyone else think that this sequence needed just an extra couple of seconds of Sanchez actually realising that Bond was avenging Felix and Della? It's like Bond says "don't you want to know why?" and shows him the lighter (held in bo…

I think it was kind of an 'event book', and it worked for me in that way. I doubt it;ll have a paperback version. Perhaps as part of an anthology.
