Or, if you don't look at it as them reading script lines, Elektra had another thought but changed what she said after M completed her sentence. But yes, good catch.
Speaking of the Brosnan era, I noticed the tiger (I believe it was) locked in the cage while Bond and Q are going over his new car in TND. I hadn't seen that before somehow until now, seems quite obvious in hindsight.
At 4:52
cat walks across the table. In the close up he walks in front of a Box on the Table but
in the next longer shot He walks across the table behind the box.
I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched DAF over the years and have only
noticed that today :D
Yes, sorry; I should have been clearer: Silva says "signs of alcohol and substance abuse" so he definitely means it separately from the booze.
He’s also chewing through pills whilst “enjoying death” in Turkey. Appreciate its unclear what. Maybe pain medication for his shoulder.
Oh yes of course: that's never quite gone in my brain somehow. I think you're right about pain meds- he's eyeing up his wound in that scene isn't he? So I guess probably not quite the amphetamines usage that Fleming spoke of.
Heh- he really would have looked like a nervous wreck then! :D
I actually think they can't really have him smoke cigarettes again- not just for health reasons but because it just doesn't look cool any more. He'd look a bit of a loser.
(That's not to say that Connery etc. doesn't still look cool in his films smoking, but smoking in the modern day says something different about your character).
You're probably right. It'll always be something I'd like to see return still but might only work if they ever went the period piece route.
Nice. Yeah, she's, uh, not a strong actress, that one.
Maybe during one of his periods of malaise—MR, DN, YOLT—there was mention of him abusing substances?
I just received the book The James Bond Bedside Companion (Raymond Benson), and spotted a photo of Roger dressed as Colonel Toro. The description below it depicts Bond "disguised as an Argentine officer".
Personally, I prefer the mystique of it being just one of the several fictional countries unique to Bond's world.
The Spanish accent is not Argentinian, but Cuban? And these guys and their cigars should ring a bell ;)

Especially with the comment to Bianca about seeing her in Miami as Bond detaches the horse float.
Cuba would be a more logical location than Argentina.
Apparently, Rosie's storyline was written so that her scenes could be removed entirely in areas where they were against interracial sex. I'm guessing that was the southern US but maybe also South Africa.
If true, that's appalling.
What a horrible comparison. Would make me not want to read or care about the rest of the review.
South Africa and possibly Japan, I believe, but not the southern US.
