Make that two. A little bit of cute between action and tragedy.
...so Sheriff JW Pepper is a Democrat. Interesting. Is this the only character in the series of whom we actually know his political preferences?
Also, there's this boy (child) who tries to sell Bond that Elephant for 1000, no 500, I mean 100, 50 baht.
I can't recall any other child ever playing a spoken part in a Bond film, is that correct?
Not sure if the kids that bring Mr.White and Obanno a coke in CR have a line???
Not a word.
Me too,although Im not due to watch GE for a bit.
It's funny all the gaffes we can spot now with the films thanks to Blu-ray restorations.
The kid in TMWTGG. Trying to sell the wooden elephants. 60 baht?
*edit* I see you have that one already.
I thought of that as well. It isn t common in Britain.
Seems Cubby was a gentleman. From Spy to Licence To Kill, the leading lady gets top billing after Bond.
Before and after, it's a different kettle of fish, though usually the villain, then leading lady.
I'm so glad they didn't do anything like that with Trench. The 60s films were far too clever to do that kind of arc with her.
Trench's whole purpose was to be a stock character like an M, Moneypenny or Q with similar roles in Bond's life in each movie. There was an understanding (probably unofficially) between the Bond team and Eunice Gayson that once Trench showed up at the beginning of each movie with Bond, he would race off to another adventure (as in DN and FRWL) while she gets infuriated about being left behind. After several films of this wash and repeat formula Trench was then supposed to have a film where she was the leading Bond girl.
I'm glad it didn't happen, to be honest. It's nice to have Trench for the first two films where she served her purpose and then the way was quickly made for the true drama of the piece. Seeing her character any more beyond FRWL would've been too stale and predictable. Her whole function in the narrative is to be Bond's woman at home base that he romances and enjoys his peacetime with before he's called out to another exotic adventure where he awaits a different set of company, be they enemies, allies or babes. I get the sense that following FRWL Sylvia got sick of being strung along by James and being put behind his schedule all the time, and told him to beat it. She's the quintessential symbolism in his life, the woman who wants him to commit and stay rooted, but his duty uproots him to more important work (sometimes world saving) every time they get intimate.
It's kind of the same thing with Moneypenny and Sean's Bond, where they had a connection and fancy for each other, but knew neither could truly act on it with finality because of the work they both did, especially the globe-trotting latter. Bond isn't the settling down type, because of both his work and his personality.

I like that touch..almost the way that Bond always throws his hotel keys across the room in so many Bond flicks.
That or it was another cringey reference to the past Bond films.
