    The lighting in the torture scene. Honestly, it's perfection.

    The shafts of light coming through the ceiling are beautiful. And the way the light picks up the perspiration on the faces. Really great!

    Machine that goes ping = actual hospital machine...

    The bald agent who zaps Mathias is Daniel Craig’s double.
    The location Lake Como was previously used in Attack Of The Clones.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Forget about Jinx Mr Mendel should have his own film series :D

    M's later explanation as to why Mr White hadn't shot Bond, too, is a bit more complicated than the reason why the SMERSH agent hadn't shot Bond in the parallel scene in the book. In the book, as I recall, it was just that he hadn't had orders to execute Bond specifically, as well as LeChiffre, and therefore wouldn't have considered himself at liberty to do it.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Bond finds Mendel as amusing as earlier Bonds used to find Q.

    Eva Green's acting after Vesper transfers the money is top notch

    Book Bond can barely talk at this point. Film Bond cracks jokes.

    So in the film they do cop out of it, to an extent.

    The look of the beach scene here is a bit similar to the beach scene Campbell mounted in GE.

    Music “City of Lovers” My favourite cue in the score
  • Golrush007Golrush007 South AfricaPosts: 3,421Quartermasters
    The wide shot looking down the beach - in terms of framing and grading - reminds me quite a bit of the Caribbean beach scene in Goldeneye. Just not filmed at sunset.

    Agreed. The way her smile melts on the boat... from the off I sensed a ticking clock...

    And now the bottom is falling out of Bond’s world....

    I like casual Vesper a lot more than formal dressy Vesper.

    Vesper spots Gettler, as she does in the book

    I'm looking for a double-taking pigeon, but no luck. :(

    Silly buggers for hiring Newman and Zimmer instead of Arnold in recent years.

    It’s a miniature! The sinking building shots.
    The foam core design model rivals the SIS building....

    Vesper is the only one dressed in red
