I'll have to look out for that when I get the Blu Ray, I didn't notice that in the cinema.
I didn't notice this either.
Similar skull is also seen on Q's computer as "Not such a clever boy" appears. But how is it a connection though? It doesn't have any relevance to Spectre. I assume Silva used the skull as a reference to his heritage (and perhaps to give M a little clue as to who it was? Guess she didn't figure it out though).
1. Just after the first time the Russian embassy guy tells Bond that the clock is correct, Bond walks off and the guy shouts for the next person in the visa queue to step up. The name he shouts is 'Gagarin' and the bloke who stands up just happens to be sitting underneath a portrait of Yuri Gagarin!
2. Bond is extremely fortunate to get out of the scrape with Grant because when he opens his own case to give him the gold soverigns you can see he has very sloppily forgotten to put the tear gas grenade in place next to the locks like Q showed him. And given at the start M says 'we're issuing this to all 00 personnel' he's very lucky that Nash (who is just a bog standard Station Y agent) has managed to blag one from somewhere.
3. At the start Kronsteen says 'we can get revenge for Dr No because the man the British are most likely to send one mission like this is their agent James Bond'.
Nice one Kronners - given that the whole plan hinges on convincing the British that Tania has fallen in love with Bond then I guess there is a fair chance they will send him.
"What if I shoot you by mistake?"
Bond replies:
"It wouldn’t be the first time."
I chuckled as I realized he was likely referring to MP's mistake at the beginning of SF
I never caught that before - in 3 watches! Wow I can't believe I missed that.
And on a train, as well :)

I was struck by this on first viewing :)
I always took that for a given. How else could Bond and M watch the events in Severnaya life? Bond still had to be taken out of French custody, probably report to M and return to the UK. If that 'copter flew straight from France to the fascility (which I doubt it would be able to do in the first place), Bond would nevr be in time to watch it. When Bond and M talk about it, they talk about it like it happened weeks ago ('not worth persuing')..
Daniel CRAIG and (the girlfriend) Satsuki MITCHELL.
You think it was intentional?
And in Thunderball, there is a golfinger lookalike getting dressed in a similar yellow shirt to the one he wore playing cards in miami in Goldfinger, after bond meets lippi, in the other room.
In the Q scene when Q makes his joke about the DB5, Tanner's smile drops with one look from Bond.
I don't think you've quite mastered the trope of irony just yet. :)
I think it was no coincidence either.
About SP, I noticed three things tonight (well, four):
-Hinx uses a tissue to clean his bloody fingers after killing the man in the meeting.
-There's a good bit I learned from Krav Maga that is being used in the movie by Bond.
-Sam Mendes sure loves his Stanley Kubrick. He borrows heavily from him. And I do mean heavily. I might start a thread about it.
-One of the guys sent after Q looks like one of my KM instructors. I mean a lot.
It is, given the relationship was about to meet the same fate. Heavy coincidences, intentional or not, are indeed an example of irony.
Lots of things from Eyes Wide Shut (, the masks, the SPECTRE meeting Bond crashes into), some from Dr Strangelove (same meeting, table and all), as well as at least a bit of Blofeld's mannerism, the torture of Bond is inspired consciously or not with the brainwashing scene in A Clockwork Orange, the empty streets of London and Rome are not unlike the empty streets of New York in Eyes Wide Shut again, oh and I always wondered why the some of Blofeld's line sounded so familiar. It was because they are very similar to the ones of Grady in The Shining. Like Blofeld, he's always been here. And, fittingly enough, he's a ghost.
And not to forget, the whole crater and meteorite, pretty much lifted from 2001.
