  • I think that the character of Paloma was conceived, at least in part, as a deliberste riposte to all those negative associations that many people (not the cognoscenti, like us) still feel about Bond Girls. Meaning, the filmmakers are satirizing …

  • "Anyone we touch, we [Bond & Safin] are their [Madeleine & Mathilde] curse." Ambiguously, I admit, "their" may literally refer to both Madeleine & Mathilde, as Safin in the act of infecting Bond is also clearly shown to have infected …
  • Yes, it's a sick but brilliantly nefarious kind of revenge upon both Madeleine & Bond: because anyone with whom Bond comes into physical contact might accidentally but fatally pass the poisoning on to Madeleine/Mathilde. Two degrees of separatio…
  • Was that an Idris Elba lookalike at the SPECTRE party? He looks directly at the camera. Possibly an in-joke from Eon?

  • Positive: 22 Negative: 1 Very positive, for me .... in essence, the Craig arc of films, but especially this one, is what I had long dreamed of since the time of my fandom waning in the late Moore years.

  • Hey, everyone, thank you for your detailed responses above regarding the two bionic eyes. It also makes clear now the recorded scene where we see Ash recruit Primo for Team Safin. But it raises another question, how the heck did Blofeld get away …
  • I thought Primo was a pretty-good henchman. Maybe not top tier, but still up there in my estimation. I love that someone described his dress sense in the Matera sequence as the douchiest guy you've ever seen in a nightclub! But I don't quite get …
