    Silva's affronted response after Bond has inflicted the mortal wound on him and cheated him out of the ending he'd wanted... brilliantly comic!

    And Craig's delivery of "Well, I..." as a preface to his comic punch-line. This one phrase very briefly channels both Moore's Bond and Robert Vaughn's Napoleon Solo...
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Great end for,Silva!

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    Dench carries the emotional weight of this movie.

    Craig‘s Dalton Hommage moment 8-)

    The shots on the roof—more brilliant cinematography!

    Olivia Mansfield.

    Olivia = Judi Dench's middle name
    Mansfield = first M of the Secret Service

    It's a shame Eve is giving up active service (though she is caught up in the skirmish at the end of SP).

    The last scene is such a fantastic gift for the fans :007)

    The gunbarrel, only about two hours too late!

    Ahh well that was a brilliant rewatch! A fantastic film—cinematography, cast, locations, writing -{
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,866Chief of Staff
    One of the best.

    I had a good time, even though the film is actually too good to discuss a lot.

    Garbel: can we get a photo of the Fleming manor in Scotland?

    Surprised that Bond goes for a quick dip in a subzero lake, then in the church scene—still with soaking clothes—isn’t shivering or turning blue!

    Yes, I remember how thrilling it felt seeing that at the time, on first viewing.

    Can I suggest FRWL next time? WE were supposed to do that one anyway when Honour Blackman died and we watched GF instead.

    Would love that. One of my top 2 or 3.

    The drive to Glasgow! 70s technology, many more people and even men in skirts :o

    None of which are in the movie, Higgy!

    Yeah, because he made the mistake not driving to Glasgow... 8-)

    That's not a mistake- he wouldn't wanna go there.

    Now that we're done with the rewatch I'll jump back to the earlier mention of Taken 2. Took these screenshots (Taken is the one with the green/blue filter...and Liam Neeson) after watching it the other day and thinking "hey, I recognise that exact part of that one rooftop in that massive city of 15 million people".

    Taken 2: 4 October 2012, Skyfall: 22 November 2012...a busy couple of months for Istanbul in film!

    Thanks, JTM. I watched that film once then forgot all about it. (That's 'Taken 2", not "Skyfall"!)
