    Haha I know you're being facetious, but really. He's a 35 year old "rookie" who doesn't know not to talk with his mouth full of food.

    He's continuing to try and impress Vesper with his thuggishness & contempt for rules/manners etc. He figures she'll fall for his bad boy charm at some point.

    Ok, I tried. I'll stick with rookie Bond.

    Craig looks like a refugee from The Full Monty.
    Brosnan looks like a Vidal Sassoon ad man.
    Moore looks like a clown (literally once).
    Connery looks like a coal mine worker.
    Lazenby looks like a horndog from dan ondah.
    Dalton looks like a Nazi spy posing as an actor.

    That Vesper thinks it's believable that she can text her boss/agency saying "back in one month" and get a month's leave. I don't know how things work in the UK, but that would approximately never fly in the US. Should have been a big red flag to Bond when she did that.

    That's because employees are afraid to take vacations in the U.S. It's been well documented that Europeans are happier, healthier, and get more vacation time than their American counterparts.

    So you can take month-long vacations from British government agencies with a text message?

    You'll criticize Bond's eating manners in a really good Bond movie but defend campy parody in awful Bond films?????

    I loathe the exchange about Berretas and Walthers in SF. How can they know this? They can't see through each other's clothes. Classic P&W.

    Almost as bad as Zukovsky recognizing recognizing Bond by knowing the sound of the hammer being pulled back (which is majorly dumb in itself) on a PPK. I'm fairly certain that's not possible.

    It's called escapist fantasy. Suspend your disbelief a little bit. >:D<

    I agree. They idea that we pick through these silly, escapist fantasies and find fault in minor detail, it exasperates me.

    I'm disagreeing to the opinion. Which could be considered negative. ;)

    I think some people go a little bit too far when it comes to nitpicking on here.

    Although I too have pointed out the all too convenient safe-cracker in YOLT so who am I to have a go :p

    There is nothing wrong with the act of nitpicking in itself. It can be a lot of fun for geeks like us. However it's daft to use it as a basis for general evaluation. It's just plain wrong! (See, Im being negative! ;) )

    Actually, I read that the KGB used to undergo exactly his sort of training , including how to identify the different keystrokes on typewriters. So it is actually well researched.

    And -- provided that you actually can tell gun manufactuaries apart by listening to the sound of the hammer -- the fact that James Bond is the only (living) guy Zukovzky knows uses a Walther PPK, doesn't seem far fetched to you? ;)

    I suppose people are capable of all sorts of weird and wonderful things, I once knew someone who could recognise virtually any car just from the sound of its engine, no kidding.

    Also Bond is the only agent that carries this gun, i think it is also mentioned by blofeld in yolt

    I guess he also heard him breathing through his nose.

    Zukovski was bee-essing; he smelled Bond's cologne. ;)

    Poor old AVTAK! It is pretty bad, but there are some amusing bits. Would have been nice if they'd addressed Rog's age directly - that is a major missed opportunity. NSNA handles that aspect better I think.

    If they switched Fiona with Tanya it would have been far better; not just the age, the chemistry (I liked Roger and Fiona together). Well, ditching Tanya would have helped a lot anyway.

    I like some parts of AVTAK, but Roger's age is a major factor in so many ways.

    Fiona is great - much better Bond girl.

    Thanks for that link. Real interesting. Raises one's Bond IQ.

    "It sucks that she wasn't the main Bond girl" would have been more appropriately negative. Just sayin'.

    Sure Rog agrees.
