    My favorite M scene in the entire series. No contest.

    Bond's flat reminds me of the house I grew up in. High ceilings, and my granmother's bedroom was the same green color as Bond's.

    Stock footage of Seattle as the Pan Am lands.

    I remember watching this one as a kid on the ABC network the summer OCTOPUSSY was out. I was enthralled and couldn't wait to see the newest movie.
    Bond just kicked Mr. Jones' ass.

    The classic tarantula scene. Connery is great.

    Connery's facial expressions are legendary during the three blind mice car chase.

    I remember when Johnny Carson got Connery to sing a little of Under the Mango Tree. That was great.

    .....and another outstanding viewing. I had to take out my blu-ray during the heating vent sequence and pop in my back up DVD. The picture started freezing. Oh well.

    You're just getting started, old man 😉
    I disagree on ltk being the last proper Bond. Brosnan's era wasn't below Moore's in any way imo. And indeed cr and qos are both excellent. For me, qos is the truest to the novel character. Dedicated to the end, but often lacking to inform m to the full.
    After that, the writing got ambiguous at best.

    True still young, I ran a half marathon early in the week so physically OK, I am just dissalluisioned by modern cinema and likely being too cynical. I genuinely hope Amazon take care of Bond like I said earlier I am preparing myself for the worst.

    Well LTK isn't a bad way to end 😁
    Though I wouldn't like to be without CR and QoS, the Brossa era, I could happily do without!

    I am seeing more people appreciating QoS alongside CR, I suspect the convoluted arc in DC's last three films ruined all three films in different respects. SF starts well enough but loses me later on, tying SF to SP did SF no favours.

    As someone keeps saying on here "I blame Mendes!" 😅
    I've always been a defender of QoS, got better and better with each viewing, it's top 10 for me now! SF not so much, though I've just ordered a magazine special from MI6 Confidential, and plan to do another watch of it, and see if anything changes for me ( but I doubt it!)
    I do hear you regarding modern cinema, there's very little gets me excited to go to a cinema these days, and I think that's very sad! I plan to go and see something, and I just end up losing the enthusiasm! Bond was the only film I was always stoked to see, and now I'm even fearful of that enticing me, with all that's happening!

    I love the set when Dent receives the Tarantula, Adam knew how to do ceilings well.

    I love how vibrant the early films look upscaled, the colour pops right out of the screen.

    I watched QoS at the cinema with around a dozen friends they were all disappointed I was the only one who loved it. Despite some editing I can ignore I loved the overall aesthetic and feel of QoS, the overall design is great with a fantastic score and DC is at peak level IMO.

    Absolutely! Craig's best performance as Bond IMO. He's a force of nature in that film and one of the reasons the film is so good!

    Bond in SF was a bit jarring for me as I recall thinking many times QoS Bond would not do that. Admittedly being objective you could possibly apply that to other Bond actors from film to film.

    This is true. I suppose it depends on the writing and tone of the film.

    The most jarring moment from the Craig era for me was the ejector seat in SP. I remember thinking that would not have happened in the world of CR...

    In honor of The Daltonator's birthday I have THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS on now.
    Saunders. You're bloody late.
    I love this sequence.
    Not sure how much commenting I'll get to do tonight, but I'm here for now.

    Saunders likes to talk while Bond is trying to remain focused on his target.
