I'm now just over 24 hours from finally watching Spectre! It's been an awfully long wait, but I'm really excited to see it. I've got some catching up to do, and it'll be great to finally be able to read some of the threads I've been avoiding, listening to podcasts etc.

I've seen it six times in total.
1. On my own
2. With my partner
3. With my Dad
4. On my own again (at a loose end after an eye appointment)
5. With one group of friends
6. With another group of friends
Then it'll be multiple viewings on DVD. It has a cosy quality to it I feel will lend itself to lots of repeat viewings. especially at Xmas! I do miss 'The James Bond Film' ITV used to show during the festive period. It made the films feel even more special.
By the way, with regard to Hinx's reflection in the cloche - it also reminds of when Brosnan sees the villain sneaking up behind him on the yacht in GOLDENEYE. I love it when Brosnan dabs his face with the towel after throwing him down the stairs. People tend to forget how good Brosnan was at little bits like that.
I saw it for the 5th time last night. I managed to take a picture of a scene {[]

I am thinking about watching it for the 5th time. Only issue now it is available only on regular screens in my area

Yes with friends and relatives have seen it 3 times also. SPOILERS-
Did you notice just before Hinx attacks Bond on the train there is his reflection in the cutlery on the table?
That's an old school Bond film technique to see danger in a reflection.
(e.g. -beginning of Goldfinger-Bonita knocked out as Bond swings her around after seeing the attacker reflected in her eye.)
I've bought myself the book-Blood, Sweat and Bond which is a good photographic record of the actors
and the scenes. The helicopter crash was convincing at the end.
Bleuville. "Finish it. FINISH IT." "Out of Bullets".
Well on 13th Dec took another relative for me to see it a 4th time.
Some of the slow quiet scenes seemed very atmospheric, like the resting in Le Americain hotel in Tangiers.
(i've seen the previous DC films 5 times each, but decades ago (pre-video) I saw Goldfinger loads of times in the cinema-probably 50 times including TV.)
When do we think that Spectre will finish in the cinemas? Skyfall went on to March 2012 but Spectre will finish a bit sooner I think.
Going for the 5th time today (have the tickets, hopefully nothing will come up at the last min) .... The cinema has regular shows now so no reserved seating, and ofc no UAVX .... Anyways, should still be fun
Heard that in the states, Spectre will be leaving most theaters next Thursday to make room for Xmas day entries...one week left to see it on the screen again?
In Australia SPECTRE had a much later premiere, and cinemas now have it marked as "last days". It seems to me that movies in general make money from cinema sessions by putting ticket prices up rather than getting the theatre full.
Well a friend of a friend of a friend who's mothers daughters sisters brother's milkmans best friend....you get the drift, lent me one of those horrible recordings of the movie, in actually stunning quality.
Seeing as I saw the film 5 times at the pictures and I have the blu-ray pre booked, I decided I wouldn't be turned to stone if I took a peek at it.
So consequently I've watched it another four times.
The more I see it the more I just enjoy it.
Before anyone asks I only had said thing for 72 hours and it's now back in someone elses house in Somerset, or Summerseat.
Can't wait for the Official release on DVD/Blu Ray in February time.
Man, some of you guys over-do it. Your going to be sick of the movie because you've seen it too many times.
1: Casino Royale 2: Goldeneye 3: Skyfall 4: Octopussy 5: Goldfinger 6: Tomorrow Never Dies 7: The World Is Not Enough 8: The Living Daylights 9: From Russia With Love 10: The Spy Who Loved Me

Just got back from another viewing - Since the movie has been in theatre's for so long now, there weren't much people and I could get a nice viewing in. I have to say I still think it's a masterpiece! Certainly not the best one, but easily a brilliant one! -{

So last week (to catch it before it finishes) I saw it a 5th time.
I noticed DC's suits close up have a wide pinstripe check pattern, you don't notice from afar.

4 times for me. Kind of sad it's no longer in theatres where I'm at. It's the least amount of times I've seen a new Bond film unfortunately- had a major move from west coast to east in the time it's been out so the time factor contributed to my not seeing it as much. To this day LTK and GE are my most watched in the cinema Bonds- 11 and 12 times each. I saw CR 8 times, QoS 7, SF 5 and SP 4.
Currently watching the last screening of Spectre. Very happy still quite busy actually. This is only my second viewing. Hope it's as good as last year.
SPECTRE is still hanging in at one of the local multiplexes in my area (just two showings per day). It appears that at the larger multiplexes (this one has 24 screens) there's a better chance of it still hanging around.
Seeing this the second time my opinion is this is the best of the 4 Daniel Craig has done. It had a great old Bond vibe about it, the villains were not too annoying (Silva), it had plenty of action, cars, the scenery was great, the clothing amazing and all in all nice plot to tie them all together.
I'd like to see Daniel Craig back for another 1 or 2 but who knows. I've heard rumours of Tom Hardy (I know there is probably a separate thread on this) who might not be too bad, I remember when they announced Daniel Craig and I thought it would never work.
After watching the Bond Experience videos it was actually great to then see the film again and pick out the items.

I'm not sure that applies...I must have watched OHMSS over a hundred times and I still love that film -{
Ditto - just watched it this morning and was blown away how great it is! {[]
