Kinnear is excellent.

He always is. I especially liked his work in PENNY DREADFUL. He was frequently better than the material.

This is true. I liked his dad as well, esp in old Hammer movies.

Always surprised at the fact that they set up a gym and firing range in their bunker so quickly.

Number24

That 's even worse shooting than yours truely

Shady Tree

The occupational psychologist who interviews Craig's Bond here... perhaps the character in the films who's closest to Fleming's recurring character, Sir James Moloney

Barbel

Provocatrix. Great answer.

Another nod to YOLT? I know the name (Dr Hall)is different.

Higgins

Wonder why he hasn‘t removed the shrapnels before

JTM

Ahh I love this suit/outfit—one of my favourite in the series.

Barbel

Naomie Harris :x :x :x :x :x

Higgins

Suit looking much better than in QoS

Shady Tree

Naomie Harris's delivery, pouting through semi-pursed lips, channels Samantha Bond's style as Moneypenny, a little.

Number24

Naomi Harries is great!

Number24

The "hire me or fire me" part is very Dalton.

Higgins

Much shorter trousers in QoS

Shady Tree

Mallory has an interesting trajectory in this film. That "Don't c-ck it up!" line echoes James Villiers' decidedly unsympathetic M surrogate in FYEO.

Higgins

Have Craigs eyes been enhanced?

They seem to be much bluer than usual

Barbel

Craig wearing lifts...? For the scene with Fiennes

Identified as Tanner only in the end titles

JTM

Love this scene in the National Gallery! A bloody big ship!

Barbel

I think the complete opposite to Desmond was the only way to go with Q

He's the shortest actor to play Bond, put it that way.

Number24

I think the "A bloody big ship" line is wrong for Bond. I think Bond would have known more trivia and been a know-it-all.

Roger Moore certainly would have!

Shady Tree

Craig's "You must be joking!" line makes up for the botched use of that line in DAD (over the invisible car) to tribute the Bond/Q exchange in GF.

Exploding pen? A reference to NSNA or maybe to Boris and his pen in GE...

Barbel

Love the photography here

All Bonds except Craig would have.

Ah, Q. I've never cared for Ben's take on the character.

You Sir are near to extermination because of trolling

Shady Tree

A decent cue by Newman (though not really Bondian)

I prefer John Cleese’s take on the role...

He's 5' 10", so pretty much my height. I figured he was going to be Tom Cruise height by the way you indicated.

Allegedly he's 5'10"- he's always been vague about that. I think 5'8" or 9".
