The haircut looks great on him as well. Thinking of going back to that haircut myself, actually.
Mickey G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blink and you miss him.
John Barry's flat where he performed GOLDFINGER for house guest Michael Caine.
Bond breaks into her flat once again.
Craig working out.
Daniel Craig really gets himself into shape to play Bond. On this occasion, I think he should have done the opposite and gone for the Connery in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER physique instead. It's easier to look tired and out of breath when you're doing pull ups with that physique, and that physique is easier to maintain.
I love the sequences that follow: Bond vs Patrice is excellent.
M should be looking at reaction videos to leaked MI6 agents.
could have done with his simple make up kit during the silent era.
My favorite set piece is coming- the underground train bit.
Love this sequence.
Definitely back to being my favorite Craig era film.
I love this climactic finale, actually. My favorite of the Craig era, TBH.
I'd love to see a Blu-ray release that utilizes the IMAX version aspect ratio. I had a blast seeing SF in IMAX.
Still on SKYFALL as Bond is inspired by his favorite Christmas movie HOME ALONE to defeat Silva. Actually his favorite Christmas movie should be the 1970 SCROOGE.
Craig looks damn tough in these scenes.
M uses the "F" word.
She dies a heroic death and the audience weeps. Great performances by Dench, Craig, Finney and Bardem.
Great viewing, I must say. I always enjoy this film.
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
Okay, that was a little harsh, but the similarities are impossible for me to ignore:
Bond is back in training getting into shape and a little bit past his prime. He has a new M to get used to and a blond haired Bond villain.
No opening gunbarrel, either.
At the moment Fatima beats up Chuck Cunningham.
That joke got old the first time I posted it, years ago.
He was great the same year in SUPERMAN III.
I love Prunella Gee. Amazing. Also in Hammer's WITCHING TIME episode, and RETURN OF THE SAINT.
Lippe vs Bond.
Pat Roach was a legend.
I remember this scene in the cinema.
Great stuff.
I had my folks take me shopping to find a gray tracksuit like Sean's. Well, it wasn't really like his, but it was the best we could do. I suppose I could have gone with dark blue like Roger's, but oh, well.
I love the bit where Fatima kills Jack. I suppose that jazzy cue is intended to be the music playing on Fatima's car radio?
Works for me.
His look is very minimal , not too flashy. He's comfortable with looking like man in his fifties.
Looks like a converted garage or warehouse.
"You unscrew it, then stick it up your a$$."
Alec McCowen is a great Q, IMO.
I love how he sticks the apple on an ornament while reaching for his P5.
I don't mind the jazzy score here, either. At least it's not Ladies First.
The motor bike chase is great, IMO.
Why is Bond wearing a completely different outfit after being escorted out to be chained up? He loses the gray jumper and polo shirt for a jacket.
Billy J Mitchell years before being crushed by Xenia.
Looking him up on imdb. I didn't realize he died in 1999.
I can envision Dalton flying one with his hair blowing in the wind and him making classic Dalton faces.
It's not the YOLT volcano by any stretch, but it's a decent Bond set. It has a RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK feel, IMO.
I was bitterly disappointed when I went to see NSNA at Christmas 1983!
But i have learned to appreciate it more over the years! The bluray I own now also helps. Sean is great, no matter how much make up he's wearing or how many wigs he has on, he still has great magnetism! And Barbara Carrera is marvellous and sexy in spades!
Glad you enjoyed my posts, @Mathis1 . I have a soft spot for this film since I was a young kid when my folks took me to see it. I remember getting a bike for Christmas that year and pretending it was my Bond motorcycle. I also got a black wrist watch and pretended it had a laser beam. A satisfied third grader I was that Christmas.
She's sexy and lively. I've never seen her in anything else but she adds a lot to the film in her brief appearance. I love that scene when she fixes Bond's back, and his facial expression as she's doing that.
It's a tad too noticeable. I remember someone in a film fan edit forum had intended to do a fan edit of NSNA, wishing to alter the color timing to make Connery look better. There were some sample screenshots and there was a noticeable improvement.
I like it in general, especially his attire when he arrives at Shrublands, but I don't really like his light blue shirt and dark pants combination when talking with Domino at the exercise room of the Flying Saucer.
Good point about the look of the place. Really feels like Q Branch is underfunded.
This film is well cast and acted. Brandauer, Carrera, McCowen, Atkinson, Casey... the only weaknesses I find are that Edward Fox's M is a little too comedic perhaps, and that Kim Basinger is slightly flat (though not awful by any means), but even so, Fox provides some fun moments ("that is the kind of attitude that tempts me to suspend you, doubleohsevemm!"), and Basinger is so overwhelmingly beautiful that anything else doesn't matter.
Yeah, I didn't know myself until about a year ago. I've mentioned before that I remember him fondly from 1990's Bullseye!, co-starring Roger Moore and Mr. Micklewhite. Mitchell plays a tourist that shows up at random places, and whose wife always gets accidently hurt in over-the-top fashion, as a side effect of the events of the main plotline, prompting Mitchell to offer to buy the unintentional attacker a drink. Highly silly stuff!

NSNA has the interesting touch of featuring more explicit sex than the EON Bond films. We see Bond with Fatima and Valerie Leon in "the midst of things" rather than "at the beginning" or after "it's all over." I don't know what's with the "quotes" but "whatever."
My impression is that the outfit is part of a suit, and Bond ditches the jacket and tie. There are some stills from a deleted scene in which Bond, Domino and Largo are lunching, and he's wearing the full attire.
I also love the turtleneck and sports jacket he wears as he's driving up to Shrublands in the Bentley. He looks classic.
Connery wears some outfits in NSNA that are unusual for him in a Bond film. Like that light brown suit in France. IIRC he never wore something like that in the other films. And let's not talk about the dungarees, etc.
An excellent performance, and arguably his BEST performance as Bond. I should pop that one in soon as well.
My first Bond movie for the new year is
THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
In a Dalton/Bond mood if only for the snow sequence. We had a nice snow storm the other night, and I'll be driving around in the snow a bit later. I need inspiration, so Timmy D it is!
At the scene in Kara's apartment. the KGB's re-modelling of her flat should inspire her to re-decorate. If that were my apartment, I'd want it to look like Bogie's in THE MALTESE FALCON.. I see the potential: get rid of that wallpaper and replace those lamps with old school '40's noir lamps. Get a nice burgundy leather chair and viola.
No time for that, however as she and Bond have to split.......
I wonder where I can get an oversized black leather coat like Tim's?
Bond drives over the frozen lake. Our lake is frozen here as well. I'd take a short cut, but that won't be necessary.
I do miss his posts. I have the extreme opposite opinion of Kara though, as she is absolutely one of my favorites.
Bond and Kara walk into the Vienna hotel lobby. I imagine Roger would have changed into something more suitable for this scene. Although he did check into the Cortina hotel wearing that suede jacket and turtleneck.
