Crease my man, I only saw it once but I know that hand was someone rescuing him and not part of the titles sequence. I think that was Tonia but that's something they left for us to speculate on as far as who it was. The rest didn't need to be shown, nor in my opinion did we need to see more than what we saw in Turkey. I would have liked a little more Tonia, but then again I wanted more of Berenice too, that's how it goes. What I want to know from you is how sexy you thought Berenice was smoking a cigarette in the casino. MADONN! My Dad would have said "don't bother to wrap it, I'll eat it right here" :)
Yes, they did say he'd been "dead" for a few months. It think it was two.
I was lost because I couldn't remember Patrice shooting Bond in the PTS--only Moneypenny. Plus, I also missed the part about Bond getting that chip off Patrice's body. I only knew about that when I went online later. Before that, I thought Bond went to the place where Patrice's victim was.
While he continues on fighting almost as if it never happened, there is definitely quite a bit of blood on his chest after that part
My only conclusion to that was that he must have emigrated as a young child to Britain and gotten work in that way. That, or we just ignore it, ala Tom Hardy's CIA (or FBI, whatever the hell he is) role in 'This Means War.'
It's left up for us to decide, I suppose. Some say as soon as the title sequence starts, we see someone pulling him out of the water. But, I was under the impression this was the famous Bond silhouette girl, dragging him under even further as the title sequence continues.
Whoever posts it, please post it as a link only. That was the nastiest I've seen in a Bond film since Madonna.

Of course it's my own fault for looking.
:D
My understanding of the 007 Movie History is that: From Sean Connery (Dr. No) to Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day) has been roughly in chrinological order, while Daniel Craig's Bond films are prequals (Casino Royale ~ Skyfall). Is this correct?
Since Judi Dench is M in the Brosnan series and Craig series, does this create some sort of time warp, where she is M in the past (Craig) and future (Brosnan)?
Therefore, the history of M would be Judi Dench (name?) -> Ralph Fiennes (Gareth Mallory) -> Bernard Lee (Miles Messervy) -> Robert Brown (Admiral Hargreaves - No M Sirname?) -> Judi Dench again?
Thank you!!!

I really didn't see that. I took the hand in the water being a twist on the iconic dancing girls motif, but instead here they are pulling Bond down into his watery grave. The next shot is Bond falling below the riverbed and into the 'underworld' after all. His 'resurrection' is never truly explained, as Bond's death is more a symbolic notion than an actual event. Bond needs to die to come back, they had to destroy him in order to rebuild him.
However I did find this stylized illustration which was pretty cool in its own right:
I doubt MI6 has a requirement that all agents be British. This would limit their pool of talent quite severely and make it difficult to get agents who can blend into various countries and backgrounds. The UK is part of a common market as well (the EU), in which citizens of all member states are free to move around and find work wherever they want. Plus the UK military also regularly recruits 10% or more from the Commonwealth, so perhaps MI6 is the same. Or may be Silva has a British mother or something. Either way, any decent intelligence agency is going to want agents of varied backgrounds, race etc. The fact Silva is not British did not both me.
Bond asks, "How's the arm, sir?"
M(allory) replies with something about being in the field, etc.
And Bond's last lines are, "With pleasure, M. With pleasure."
I felt the same. Wasn't a huge fan of the theme song but I loved the titles.
Nope. It's at the end and has the same terrible design as QOS.
It was at the end, but the opening to Skyfall was pretty outstanding even without it.
I actually thought that, too. But I guess I was OK with or without it at the beginning, given the slick entry of Bond into the picture.
I felt that an entry as cool as thought made up for it, but knowing how the gunbarrel looked at the end, it may have ruined the moment if placed at the beginning. I just don't like that gunbarrel at all.
