How can I be seeing that for the first time now?
Dr Goodhead grabs a floating pen to do some paperwork ! :))
I remember that... and only now realise how little sense that makes...
It's an homage to 2001 - where the air stewardess picks Dr Floyd's floating pen and puts it back in his pocket.
Ah... learning more and more over here!
I do believe he has a smile on his face when he's with Pussy in the hay. And he has a slight grin on his face as the guy explodes at the airport in Miami in CR.
True, but neither have the relaxed kind of smile he has in FRWL and the belly dance. It might just be the most joyeful moment (for Bond) in any of the films.
Exactly. Bond has his share of smirks and little smiles of amusement. But the smile in FRWL is one of pure joy. I am not sure we see that anywhere else.
Brosnan gives a big genuine seeming laugh when he reinflates the tyres from inside the back of the BMW in TND.
Yes, I think so, too.
Yes, and five minutes after his former lover was murdered.
Bond has a very big smile on the rollercoaster with Kara in TLD. And some people are under the impression that Dalton never smiles.
Dalton's Bond laughs during the concert in TLD.
Connery's Bond does a knowing smile/laugh when he is talking about meeting the girl in FRWL and Kerim jests about it being more than business. They laugh together - and it's a lovely moment.
They all smile at times, but @TripAces is right, there are very few if any moments like the gypsy camp where Bond appears to be simply laughing from sheer enjoyment of the moment.
Yes. That would be one.
You may have become routine-blinded, so to speak.
I used to watch the Bond movies on DVD on a 40" screen for 10 years.
My eyes were "opened" when I watched them for the first times on Blu-ray, and again, last year when I got a 65" 4K TV Set.
I did watch a few Bond movies in 3D (upconverted by my fine TV Set) and I noticed things I have never seen before!
Even when I watched a couple of Bond movies on my iPad last year they looked "different".
To change the order of watching also changed my perception of certain Bond movies. I always watched them in order and only started to do Bondathons in random order last year.
Scaramanga didn't say it, I did.
Oh, not sure if it fits this thread, but here's something funny: in the subtitle of the SP blue ray, Blofeld is referred to as... Blofeld. From his first introduction onward.
Oh and as for Kubrick's influence over Mendes, look at this scene from The Shining after watching the "It was me, James" scene in SP:
@Birdleson, I've done the same thing with GE; I've honestly seen it hundreds of times, but there will still be moments where I manage to spot something or hear something I hadn't heard before, which is weird to me. However, it could be that the blood on Bond's hand is something you first noticed many years ago, you eventually forgot about it or stopped focusing on it, and now that you picked up on it again, it's like a brand new reveal to you.
I actually haven't watched The Shining fully, but have seen many parts of it. The overwhelming impression of creepiness that I have relates to the fact that I recall that the lead actors were the primary characters throughout, with very few extras. SP sort of mirrors that.
