I said I was in the mood for a Bond film and my wife said - Skyfall. I think it may be her favourite.
While Connery is her favourite Bond. She's not that much a fan of anyone else. We don't watch Brosnan because she never liked him from his Remington Steele days (although she did like Matador and Ghost Writer)
So far she's seen DN, FRWL, GE, OHMSS, LALD, TMWTGG, TLD, CR, SF and SP.
Anyway - that's the choice for this evening.
PTS - still a real highlight. All of Craig's PTS's are fantastic to me. Mendes really does put his best action sequences at the beginning of his dual Bond films.
Craig is pretty damn cool in this opening. I prefer his CR and QoS performances I think but this one is good.
Thomas Newman's music is good here. The part where Moneypenny says she has a clean shot is aided by his decision to change up the music here.
Scorpion hand rides drinking match reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Not a bad way to make beer money I guess...
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
Immediately I don't like the Orion Logo at the start on the DVD.
The cinematic prints used that '70's/'80's Warner Bros logo.
I love Bond sliding along the telephone wires.
I love Bond headbutting his opponent as well.
M lectures Bond and gives him sh*t.
I quite like Edward Fox's M, actually.
I think Max Von Sydow might have made a good Dracula. I can picture him made up to look like the novel's description.
Great actor.
Prunella Gee is an underrated Bond girl, IMO.
I think she's wonderful in this.
I'm a very big fan of this film. I love seeing Bond older. And he certainly looks older without having a stubble or buzz cut. The toupee is appropriately thin, IMO. I can see why fans may find this toupee a bit lacking, but to me it works.
My favorite music cue in this film. I like the bass lick.
Then I cut your throat.
Excellent villain, IMO.
And we get to the Q scene.
Bond's shoes make that weird sound as he's walking toward Algy and says "Algernon".
Q's lab reminds me of the garage The Fonz worked in.
Q tosses Bond's old watch and smashes it.
You unscrew it, then stick it up your nose!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
How reckless of me! I've made you all wet!
He'll later hook up with Valerie Leon.
Love every frame of this film. It is pretty odd, though when one compares it to Eon.
If I were to pick one favorite female Bond villain, Fatima is it, though Fiona and Xenia are close behind.
Fatima has a complete change of clothes from her dancing, then sneaking into Bond's hotel room.
I need to watch BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB again soon.
I need to upgrade to the Blu-ray of that film.
More soothing, easy listening sounds of Michel Legrand as we segue to France.
She's vicious in that scene! Sexy and scary!
The '80's video arcade scene.
Largo teaches a young girl how to play the game she's on.
The Domination game bit is pretty cool. Dated, now but fairly ahead of its time.
I turned down the sound and put on "I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE" in the background.
Astonishingly, this works even better and is funnier.
LOVE AT FIRST BITE.
Connery is so cool in that scene with the bouncer. "I shouldn't have the fish..." :))
She's great.
Pretty funny shot actually.
I also love Bond entering The Flying Saucer bit. Bond is sucked inside, Felix gets left out.
Then Bond must endure putting on a bathrobe that looks like his hotel suite furniture in DR NO.
Agree! But she is way better than Xenia imo. Looks fab and is sexy and psychotic at the same time!
Xenia was a poor rip off!
Good point. Carrera is amazing. Always loved her in I, the Jury and Lone Wolf McQuade.
Never seen Lone Wolf McQuade, but did see I, the Jury, she's the best thing in it!
As far as Mike Hammer films go, that 1982 remake isn't exactly the best, IMO. She makes is quite watchable, though.
