At least it's something after all the SW trailer buzz. Some thoughts:
1) Why Moneypenny says "what you did in Mexico was too much" when he was just doing his job of stopping Marco Sciarra from what he was about to do? People deaths involved? Or just diplomatic issues?
2) It is easy to assume the video message Bond received is from M (Dench) and the man she talks about is Oberhauser
3) I think the woman Bond pushes against the wall is Lucia Sciarra, maybe when they're staying in Villa Fiorano in Rome?
"He then asks Moneypenny to operate as a mole for him within MI6, specifically to do a bit of research about a name that he heard in Mexico: The Pale King."
IIRC, in the latest script he tells Moneypenny to research The Pale King during the car chase in Rome, but now it's in the scene in the apartment?
Thought it would take about 2-3 hours. It will be everywhere, as EON knew it would, by tomorrow. Mendes' warning thousands of people to not talk about the spoiler was a little bit too cute for my liking.
So M was talking about Sciarra, not Oberhauser. Thus the video was mailed to Bond's apartment before the PTS in Mexico.
Yes, but they come to wrong conclusions.
M isn't referring to her funeral, but Marco Sciarras.
And how the author talks about "the woman with the strong accent", it's clear to me, that he has not followed anything closely the last 6 months. Otherwise he would have said it was Monica Belluci.
Although if new MP starts barking at Bond, train the dog to bark back at the screen and drown her out.
:o3
Oh come on. I'm joking. I love our old lab. But he's tough, and if I did ever kick him, he'd gnaw my ankle off.
You know, I just don't know why Naomie Harris's MP just rubs me the wrong way. She is certainly a very competent actress and all, but I just don't like seeing the MP role become so major. And before any posters come down on me for being hard on her because she is black, I'm fine with having a black MP, as it does make Bond more modern. I just don't like Harris in the role. I'll try to shut up about it and wait till I see the film before I whine about her again.

I can understand; it is preferable to be rubbed the right way!
Hard to find good MP's.
My second favourite MP is actually Pamela Salem from NSNA.
Haven't been too thrilled with any of the other 3 successors, ie Bliss, Bond or Harris.
'Virtual Reality DAD' sounds like a low-rate family comedy. With Kevin James.
"Then you better keep moving." -- There seriously wasn't a better take of that line?
I just stopped by here after some time to see what's going on.
I regrettably have to agree with the above concerns, but sadly don't have a dog to kick in the event it occurs, and can't condone cruelty to animals.
Harris' MP is one of the major disappointments of the Craig era for me so far. That along with Dench M's constant scolding of Bond. It worked during Lee's era imo because it came across as a seasoned veteran berating an overconfident, arrogant whippersnapper. In Dench's case it just appeared like motherly parental chiding (and they even made an all too knowing joke out of this in both SF/QoS with the "mommy"/"mother" line). Now that Dench is gone, if they have to find a replacement to put 007 in his place from time to time, I'd rather it be Fienne's M than Harris' MP.
So far I did not appreciate her voiceover for the trailer, which already sounds like an all too knowing 'put down' ("something you can't tell anyone, because you don't trust anyone").
I'll get over it I'm sure, but I'm not happy about her expanded role in the trailer as well. Hopefully her part in the movie is reduced during the editing process.
MP rant over......for now.
Don't worry about these things
You don't like the line or the delivery of it ? I thought both were fine to be honest.
They don't have to reduce her part in the editing process.
It's not that big in SPECTRE. She's less in the movie than in Skyfall.
