    Just watching TMWTGG with its "energy crisis" subtext (1974). M says "Coal and oil will soon be depleted". And here we are now with an oil glut and oil prices down again today.

    To be honest, I noticed Chew Mee long, long ago.
    Teenage boys miss nothing ! :D

    An image that stayed with me long after seeing the film as 14-year-old (still the best thing in the whole movie!).

    And as to underline, she asks Bond to join her. As he responds that he's got no swimsuit she says 'neither do i'..

    DAF opens with a Japanese wall, the same kind of wall through which DAF's Blofeld died in YOLT as Henderson..

    Yes, I've read the theory that DAF happens after YOLT, and Bond is out for
    revenge for the death of Aki, so OHMSS can be conveniently forgotten. ;)
    ( Not my me, as it's my favourite Bond film )

    In that way it's just the same as Goldeneye then, with 006 presumably killed, just to end up beeing the bad guy. Never thought about it that way..

    When Oddjob turns off the road to kill Solo there's a small jump cut.

    I've seen TWINE many times this year, but it wasn't until watching it again today that I realized that Brosnan is now the same age as Dr. Arkov (63 years old), so his cover won't be blown anymore!

    I noticed that too! It's strange to think about.

    I sometimes think it's funny when looking at a favoured Bond and working out
    how young I was when I first watched it. :)

    @Birdleson, that's the nature of the internet, I'm afraid. Some think they're an authority on everything.

    "Not really for this thread, but I refuse to go back on any of the political threads (many on their "there" seem grossly misinformed, yet have a lot to say). From Birdleson.

    Only the Enlightened ones, should be allowed to discuss, such matters :))

    Before Bond and Moon crash through the gate at the end of the DAD PTS, we see two symbols on either door of the gate; they've never really stood out to me before, but when I last watched it and caught them, I realized they look very similar to the Pepsi logo.

    Would they be a variation on the yin and yang symbols ?

    Looks like a yin/yang variant, with Pepsi colors.

    Have you read 'the second coming' by John J. Niven? You'd be more then happy to converse with that incarnation. And God is pretty cool too.

    Perhaps we can have an international imaginary friend gathering. Saves travel costs and perhaps those guys can get world peace working. Imaginary, of course, but it's a start....

    No. Remember the bulldog on M's desk? Dogs and cats don't live together. If Bond is the dog, then that means...

    I admit it's subtle, but it's there. Kinda explains how M knows so many Bond villains over the years.

    Not to mention all the cat hair in her last scene in QOS

    There's also a drone buzzing around in the window behind RAplh FIneenes M when he's giving speech about drone. I think this was foreshadowing for the original drone attack finale detailed in the Sony leaks.

    Hmm there is no need to be rude about set desing @Rare, but to me the last scene at the end of that Craigqul always reminded me and I'm not trying to step on any toes or offend a snowmaker or set designer or weather maker but, it's always been to me that it looked like there was dandruff everywhere.

    The first we see of Blofeld's Oil Rig Base in DAF is an aerial shot. As the camera swoops in and around we can see a solitary figure sweeping up the helipad. Hard to be sure at that distance put he appears to be actually making contact about as much as the fella sweeping up the docks in QOS.

    Confirmed: The QoS dock sweeper was Forster's homage to DAF.

    I noticed how 2 Connery films 'announce' the main location of their immediate successor:

    Dr No proposes turkish cigars to Bond (FRWL is set mainly in Istanbul), and Pussy Galore mentions she want to retire to the Bahamas (which is TB's main location).

    Probably means nothing, but it's pretty cool.
