    I miss Maurice Binder. I think it would be refreshing to have a new title sequence omit the CGI and go old school. Would Daniel Klainman be up for it?

    I've always been obsessed with picture quality and colors. Last weekend my fiancee and I went to a screening of WHITE CHRISTMAS, which looked amazing and vibrant in the cinema. Once I got home I immediately popped in my Blu-ray for comparison and went thru my TV picture setting options to determine which looked most true to the mage on the screen.
    On my PHILIPS televison the "standard" setting actually wass the closest rather than "sports" or "movies".
    o that's what I'm watching Bond on now.
    Maryam d'Abo's birthday is coming up next week , so this viewing is in her honor.

    Saunders is pretty funny here. So uptight.

    I really want the next Bond to have a classic look like Tim does here. That would put a huge smile on my face. Dalton looks great in the black dinner suit.

    A ghetto blaster! That line got a huge laugh in the cinema.

    I love the safehouse sequence.

    Another of my favorite scenes- the Aston Martin chase.

    Bond drinks the entire martini in one sip. I did that the day I turned 21. Two of them in fact as I soon realized the bartender had made the first with gin rather than vodka. I had to do the whole thing over again and emphasize a VODKA martini..........shaken not stirred.
    The second time he got it right.

    I love the Koskov/Bond scene in the plane.

    The jailbreak sequence.
    I never really noticed before that the two jailguards are pretty damned old. Only Ken Sharrock gives Bond a decent fight. Great scene, though.

    This SE DVD might actually be too saturated, especially in the desert scenes.
    What I wouldn't give to see a clean 35mm print of this one the big screen again.

    I really love the final act of this one, even though that doesn't seem to be a popular opinion.

    Excellent writes up gentlemen of my favourite Bond, I'm thinking of watching one of Tim's over the holidays alongside my annual OHMSS viewing!

    I love that final shootout with Whitaker, it's clever and thrilling, and Whitakers death is cool! Don't know why a lot of people dislike it! It reminds me of the old days, when after the big action climax, a villain comes back for a final reel showdown!
