  • @vzok Yeah if I could just vote for the teaser it would be my favorite by a landslide. I love that version of the Bond theme that plays in the teaser! I wish it had been in the movie somewhere.

  • It's very interesting watching these trailers and hearing people's voices before they were dubbed over as well as lines that weren't included in the film and alternate takes. Tuesday DN - "The exotic and tantalizing…Dr. No" - 9 FRWL - "More e…

  • I just watched DN again for the first time in quite some time. The line was so quiet and such a throwaway remark that I had to rewind it and make sure my ears weren't playing tricks on me. Bond is speaking to Honey on the beach while they're hiding …
  • For me Craig's performances in SF and SP are worlds apart with Craig's performance in SF belonging to the first category you mentioned. Craig has that joie de vivre in SF in the scenes where he is flirting with Moneypenny or bantering with Q. I love…

  • I prefer SF because really the only thing disappointing in it for me was that Bond and Silva didn't have a more personal fight at the very end (and that Komodo dragon gag). Don't remind me of a stunt in a Bond film where someone actually put theirse…

  • @sirseanisbond Does TSWLM sequence include the chase before the Lotus transforms?
