<font color=blue size=7><b>TMWTGG gives absolutely no reason why Bond is attacked by the Beirut thugs.</b></font>
Sir Miles Messervy is needed against thought Bond's like Connery, Dalton and Craig, while a more soft M like Dench is more appropriate alongside Lazenby, Moore and Brosnan.
So having Dench with Craig is an absolutly abysmal decision.
I could be due for a fresh viewing of TMWTGG because I can't remember 100%-- but I'm under the impression that they were giving Roger the evil eye simply because he was 'new' and they didn't know him. They only got physical once Roger crept back into the dressing room (understandable)
So disagree, for now
Bond might have been a rich dude coming to spend big money. No need to be so xenophobic. ;-) Ah well. :-)
That's what I always assumed.
<center>"Hmmm! Looks like she could do with a good Rogering!"

I need to add it to this list:
* to daltoneer: telling someone to p*** off while kept at gunpoint
* to connerize: slapping a woman and bedding her - there's a subtle difference to rape in that it's not entirely against her will
* to lazen-by, as in "I lazened by one time": to drop by once, exactly once, leaving a polarizing impression
* taking a craig: going to the men's room and not leaving without demolishing the thing from top to bottom
* to brozzer things up: boosting the amusement at a party by making the most remarkable pain faces
Although it's not specifically stated in dialogue, I took it that Saida was the mistress of the fat gangster and he has his thugs beat up Bond for making the moves on his woman.
' to Rogerize', is the term for that ;)
Thesis 129: Agreed, no justification. Just an excuse to have some action and a fight scene. But it's a pretty good fight scene so I don't mind.
an expression of agreement
vb
Slang (of a man) to copulate (with)
[from the name Roger, representing R for received]
Usage: The verb sense of this word was formerly considered to be taboo, and it was labelled as such in previous editions of Collins English Dictionary. However, it has now become acceptable in speech, although some older or more conservative people may object to its use.

As for the fight I concur with PrinceKamalKhan
Dench was good with Brosnan, but she's just horrible with Craig.
My favourite M - Bond scene ever is the one we get in GoldenEye. Great chemistry, wonderful dialogue, beautiful tension. But she slowly turned into his mother and even then I was still okay with it all the way into DAD.
Then CR came. Judy Dench performs exceptionally well. The first scene we see her in, with the 'Christ, I miss the cold war' line: pure gold. Even when she's playing opposite Craig, she still plays very well. The problem is that now the young Craig Bond is instructed by a sour grandma who lectures him through puberty. The great actress is given an inappropriate persona I think. She delivers the material well but the material is wrong. The Craig Bond needed the Admiral, a commanding presence like Lee, giving him clear and objective instructions.
I also think the first scene of them together in CR is one of the best Bond/M scenes in the entire seriers. Lines like:
M: "You've got a bloody cheek!"
Bond: "Sorry, I'll shoot the camera the next time."
M: "Or yourself."
Bond: "I always thought M was a randomly assigned initial, I had no idea it stood for.... "
M: "Utter one more syllable and I'll have you killed".
Classic stuff, that.
Naturally, she's wasn't trying to train a rookie.
Would it be safe to say that the bullet Moore swallowed also got Rogered?
I disagree with the thesis and would like to second Kamal's comments.
