    Skyfall had plenty of that.

    Had plenty of nods to the past also, too many for me. Though i just view it as a 50th anniversary tribute movie at present.

    Compared to DAD it ha miniscule references. And the difference between the immaculate Skyfall and the lack luster DAD is that in Skyfall the references were essential to the plot (the gun, the DB5, and so on). In DAD they were just thrown about or put in just because. We are lucky to get a wonderful Bond film that smartly uses the references.

    Not a good idea. Like some people already pointed, there is a reason why SIlvia Trench did not become a regular character. I liked her a lot in DN and FRWL, but she did what she had to do. Bringing her back would be pointless.

    Until i have watched it again i can only reserve judgement, i am not saying its a bad film, infact i think for the future of the film series its a huge positive. I believe Skyfall is pretty much what Eon wanted and the box office and positive response does not surprise me at all, the film was aimed at a mass audience. I just did not enjoy it, when i watch Skyfall again my opinion may change. When i watched TND, TWINE and DAD at the cinema i loved all three movies initially, i can't say the same now. Some movies have a instant impact on a viewer and eventually wane, some films leave a viewer perplexed not knowing how to take a film and that movie in time can grow on a person. Skyfall possibly will be the latter...

    I can't imagine how one can walk out after seeing DAD and feel happy at what you saw. Maybe if a few cocktails were on hand or one slept through Jinx's entrance clear to the credits or what have you. I-)

    Believe me when i watched it on dvd i did question how i could have enjoyed DAD. when i watched DAD at cinema i must have gone along for the ride, the film certainly does not engage the brain that's for sure. Being a bond fan in the past even when i have known deep down a particular bond film is not great, i have tried to convince myself it is better than it is out of some kind of bond loyalty. I don't tend to wear the bond tinted lenses now.

    How did Die Another Day get into this, there's already about fourteen threads underway that can accomodate..

    Once again, Trench is simply another character from years past that is archaic and outdated and has no need to be brought back to current releases. You're trying to resurrect a character that hasn't been seen in Bond since the early 1960s, so what sense does it do now to make a comeback, and (but), then there's always the re-boot issues, but I stand by my decision. I don't like all this damn re-boot talk, it's almost as if anything that happened before 2006 was made void and redundant and Bond only started six years ago and forget what came before it, but I can't say strongly enough that Trench, or Blofeld, or SPECTRE, or any other names from the distant past of the franchise, need no comeback from our present perspective. You never know what they're going to do for each release, but they are merely names I genuinely hope never return to the screen of James Bond

    I'm cool with a return of Trench, but I'd also like to see Camille again - I feel that Bond girl story arc was really left unfinished (and I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed QoS).

    Who should play Trench?

    Ana de Armas perhaps

    or would a British actress be better?

    Well, not that I am for the return of Sylvia Trench, but yes, a British actress would be better. Trench is after all an English rose. And this actress above, she looks like a Lolita.

    She's 24, so a bit younger than Marlohe - but not exactly a teenager either, though I take the English rose point.

    How about Natalie Dormer - at 31 she'll be the same age in two years as Marlohe is today and she's definitely an English Rose

    I like to think that Bond's Turkish delight in Skyfall was Sylvia Trench. That would have been a nice little nod to Dr No and FRWL.

    Those two are better choices, much better. That said, I would rather see them as new Bond girls, not a recycled one.

    Why would you get that impression? There was nothing connecting them at all, the least of which is their nationality.

    Other options...
    Sophia Myles

    and Rebecca Hall

    But she could be a bit too high profile post Iron Man 3.

    I never thought Rebecca Hall was good looking enough for a Bond girl. But why "resurrect" Sylvia Trench?

    No. And don't get me wrong, I find Rebecca Hall attractive and she has plenty of charisma, just not that kind of beauty I expected for a Bond girl. In any case, she is now too famous.

    I have never heard of her in my life, so I'd say not.

    Yeah, me too !
    But I guess after IronMan 3 releases , her name is bound to skyrocket.
    Wouldn't you think so? @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7

    she was in that movie with Scarlet Johanson and Javier Bardem and she's dating Sam Mendes I believe.

    No, I wouldn't say for sure. She is playing a character that is expendable, so who knows if she will survive the film and continue on in further adaptions. Though, she could make an impression before her character goes out.

    Vicky Cristina Barcellona? I have heard the Mendes-dating rumors. Quite a Bond connection there.
