Couldn't agree more. She showed more charisma in her cameo than Seydoux and Lynch managed combined.
I had no problem hearing it.
That's exactly how I saw it, the scene actually got a laugh both times I saw the film and a woman next to me said "aww"
I think this can be interpreted as a sure sign that she is in fact Bond's child. Blue eyes alone don't suffice for that.
When she said she was missing her Dou Dou, I thought she meant her Dou Dou 7 (007).
It was only after the fact I realised it was the bunny thing 🤣
Well, maybe they can laugh (a bitter sad laugh) that his casting led to the death of James Bond. Had fate shown its fickle hand in another way Eon might have cast another actor, one that had no desire to see Bond dead.
I've noticed one telling omission from the last 80 or so pages on this thread.... no-one has attributed any blame to Daniel Craig? Not aware of such comments. Clearly Craig wanted his Bond to die so when I see guys like The Bond Experience giving sycophantic interviews with Craig and Craig seemingly totally oblivious to the negative reaction Bond's death has generated in Bond fandom, I can't help but feel CraigisnotBond people got the final laugh. They achieved a very perverse victory. Be you pro or anti Craig's casting and his four subsequent Bond films, the harsh truth is had Eon never cast Craig we wouldn't have some fans (I stress some, not all) using words like "betrayal" to describe the ending of NTTD.
Maybe when NTTD has ended its theatrical run worldwide Mr Craig can give a post Bond career interview and say "sorry if we upset any fans with the death of Bond."
I have doubt such words will ever be uttered by the man.
It's worth saying that the death of Bond in NTTD has also had some very positive reactions within the Bond fandom. Please don't assume you speak for all of us.

I referred to some fans, not all. I wasn't speaking for all fans.
Also, I don't really know where this assumption has come from that it was Craig's desire to die, could it not have been a natural concept devised by the producers, writers, and/or the director? Just because Harrison Ford asked for his ending, doesn't mean every other actor has done the same thing.
Yeah, the premise and story of SF definitely came too early in Craig's tenure and should have been used as the film to close out Craig's run.
...I've learned to remember which usernames are parroting nonsense such as "well you don't care that Bond died" (I very much do, I had a profound emotional reaction to the scene last week) or "this vindicates everyone who says Craig was a bad Bond because his tenure failed" (it doesn't, Craig's portrayal has been met with massive acclaim and his five films are responsible for more business than any other tenure, and even combinations of multiple tenures put together combined).
Now, when I see one of those names, I skip over the comment. It's very helpful.
Agreed. I love QoS, and it was the direction I was eager for the Bond series to go in. The films didn't need bloody Q and gadgets. They'd proved that with the fantastic CR.
Much as I like SF (it's still overrated) and I enjoyed this last film, i still think it's a shame they almost got cold feet and went all formulaic on us with regards to Bond’s MI6 environment.
What makes it worse is that Craig's Bond either quit, was fired, or went rogue in every single one of his movies, and was always the guy becoming Bond as opposed to being Bond. I like Craig in CR and QOS but he's practically a different character in SF and on.
I'm presuming this includes me, don't you think that's what leads to conflict, sticking one's head in the sand. Not acknowledging a different opinion dosen't stop that opinion being as valid as yours.
I'd offer a hand & bury the hatchet, I always read yours even though I know on NTTD we differ, doesn't mean I disagree with you on everything. So what do you say agree to disagree & stop with the cheap shots.
Hell what am I saying you won't read this. 8-|
We all lose our edge in life for various reasons, it does not mean we can not regain it mentally and physically.
Also DC Bond in Skyfall is recovering from a nasty gun shot or two.
There are no "last laughs" for the Craignotbonders after the old Bond series was ruined with Craig's 16 year stint. But they were completely right in their criticisms of the reboot and the suitability of Craig for the role and his approach to the character.
Craig ruined the old series? Those morons at cnb were right? Wow, now I've heard it all.
NTTD and DN have no impact on each other to me, and both are great movies.
In NTTD, there are probably the most references to DN. So the impact is significant IMO.
I'm not sure if it was my screening (it very well could have been) but did the title song sound oddly muted in the mix for anyone else? I felt like all I could hear was Eilish's voice during certain parts of the chorus, which on the album is big, bold, emotional and powerful. I was more than a tad disappointed as I quite like the song, but the combination of that and Kleinman's disappointing visuals left me feeling rather flat.
