And my vote is the same.
Regardless, but if you are alive, wow, even better.
TSWLM vs QoS - didn't have to think about this one. In fact, some of my favourite scenes from QoS homage the 1977 classic.
That's an interesting remark. Which scenes from QOS homage TSWLM, might I ask? Other than throwing a guy from a roof and Bond unintentionally body shielding himself from an incoming bullet, I can't think of much.
The other obvious ones are Camille and Bond in the desert (Bond suited up similarly no less and she in a dark glossy number) and of course "R. Sterling", which always brings a smile to my face.
I'm sure there are arguments that can be made that these are all coincidences, particularly from fans of the film. I disagree and believe they were deliberate, as was the GF one.
That's how I felt in the theatre upon first viewing and that's how I feel now. They were other ways these scenes could have been presented if they didn't intend to remind us diehard fans of TSWLM.
- Italy as a location.
- Confronting someone more or less responsible for the death of a loved one.
(Yeah, I'm fishing now. ;))
- Attending an open-air show of sorts.
- Bond breaks the door handle in QOS, Jaws bites through some chains in TWSLM.
Like I said, I'm fishing.
One thing I've always found intriguing, and that's just my weird mind, is this:
Atop the opera building, there's a number. (Look in the middle of the pic:
That number is the speed of light.
Light can be split in different colours. We call that: the spectrum of light, after the Latin word for SPECTRE. (See what I'm hinting at?) Furthermore, the best model we have for light, comes from QUANTUM physics. (I'm probably reading too much into this now...) ... except that the first quantum mechanical model of the atom was arrived at via the combustion of hydrogen gas, which is exactly what sets the Dune Hotel on fire. Lastly, the colour GREEN has a wavelength of 486 nanometers is the emission spectrum of hydrogen. Add these numbers, and you obtain 18, which is exactly the molecular mass of WATER, the very thing Greene and Quantum are after. :D
Sorry... I have sleepless nights too. ;)
I will say though that my simple mind sometimes thinks of the bike in TSWLM when the Alfa flies off the cliff in the PTS. That's me doing a little bit of fishing now.
QOS
TSWLM over QoS
I don’t want to be an ass @DarthDimi but the linguist in me has to correct you there. The Latin word is also spectrum ;)
Spectre is a French word, which could be used both as the word for ghost or as the word for spectrum as in spectrum of light. In that last case it would be le spectre de la lumière.
Anyway, on topic, I’d choose GF and TSWLM.
You're right. Silly me. I forgot to write "for". The Latin word for spectre. ;)
TSWLM (#6) v QOS (#13)
TSWLM beats QOS 15-6
We haven t had TLD on this thread yet,so here it comes.
Round 41:
DAF vs TLD
and
OP vs TWINE
OP > TWINE (both in the bottom 10) - Just realized how similar both PTS's are: Bond goes undercover, followed by a chase involving a target seeking projectile & Bond in a Q vehicle.
Well said, agree with this verdict. Except the top/bottom five bit.
&
OP
OP vs. TWINE - severe thrashing imho
OP and TWINE are both among my bottom five or six, but only DAD is worse than TWINE, so I'll have to take sides with OP for once.
OP>TWINE
TWINE over OP
OP
OP beats TWINE but not quite as significantly.
These were recorded on the same VHS tape back in 2000 from the TBS marathon
