    The Bond/Safin dialogue scene is pretty classic.
    I'm sorry........I'm sorry........................
    Bond's a pretty good bulls**tter.
    I do prefer Safin as a main villain to Blofeld.
    I think Le Chiffre is my favorite Craig era villain, though.

    The stuff as Bond is trying to get to control room is pretty good.
    Bond vs Primo again.
    Good fight scene.

    Safin is no physical match for Bond. This bit gets drawn out.
    Bond is wasting time...................
    Ben gives a great performance in these scenes.
    In some ways this ending is already dated as this trend happened years ago.
    LOGAN was half a decade ago and Star Wars: The Force Awakens 7 years ago.
    Today audiences want TOP GUN MAVERICK.

    Oh, well. So much for that.

    Brilliant long take scene.

    The legendary climax.

    I do love this setting, perhaps more so than most of the other Craig endings. It is very Bondian and classic.

    If I were to rank the Craig era climaxes in terms of their setting, this film would be number one.

    SKYFALL would be a close second. Dominic Greene's hotel setting was pretty cool, but nothing astonishing, and CR's sinking building was just okay for me.
    The abandoned MI6 setting in SPECTRE was lame.


    Where I agree on SP, I would have to disagree on QOS thats my favourite setting for Craigs era, gorgeous building and Forster shoots it well. CR would be second, NTTD third, and SF haunted house effort didn't impress me at all!

    OCTOPUSSY

    In honor of Sir Roger's birthday.
    Have to say just past the half mark on this Bond and am enjoying far more than my recent viewing of NTTD. I even popped in SP and just couldn't get into it.
    This on the other hand is a romp and fast paced,
    Can't go wrong with Mischka and grishka!

    Sometimes the more classic Bond films are just what's needed. They feel comfortable, like home. Found this with YOLT recently, even though it's not a film I love.

    Precisely.

    THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH

    I really should behave like an adult and go to bed. However, I have tomorrow off and I 'm in the mood for some Brosnan action.
    I love that Bond has a shoulder injury and immediately seduces his physical therapist.
    R isn't as funny as intended. Q treats him like s**t and then R behaves like a joke.
    Nice to get a poignant exit for Desmond, though. This is still my least favorite Q scene in the Brosnan era.

    Love the parahawk sequence.
    Been awhile since I watched this one...............meaning a few months.
    My favorite Arnold score.
    This film looks particularly good on my new television.

    Elektra freaks out and has a panic attack. I love the bit in her room afterwards.
    Bond's scar has an itch.
    Brosnan has great reaction shots.
    Valentin is a great character. Still sad about Coltrane's passing. :(

    Valentin looks like he could be a character in a 1940's Warner Bros picture.
    He's very classic.
    YAY! Renaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrd.

    Brosnan's Omega always looks too big for his wrist, flopping all over his arm during love scenes.

    Another section I love-Bond underground. I always like seeing Bond undercover in some sort of uniform. Did Craig ever do a scene like that?

    Michael Kitchen is my favorite Tanner.

    The Bond/Elektra soap opera confrontation scene is pretty damned funny. Almost as funny as the Bond/Blofeld confrontation scene in NTTD.
    Again, Brosnan's has some great reaction shots.

    Pierce's hair is pretty spiky in the front.

    M is always effing things up in these Purvis and Wade films. One day M is going to get Bond killed.

    I love the caviar factory section, but wish Bond were wearing something more casual here. Perhaps an all black outfit similar to his Stealth boat look in TND?

    Always found the Q/R interaction here awkward. Bond should've interrupted by saying, "Now where did I put my hat?"

    Love the parahawks. The Broz era featured some cool custom vehicles - missile train, stealth boat, Q-boat, ice dragster, switchblades.. at least one per film.

    I learned recently enough that the train from GoldenEye is called "The Haunting Face". Very fitting.

    It's very ominous-looking isn't it. I'd like to see more of this Brutalist design in future.
