Ah, The Domestic Life of Miss Moneypenny, err Spectre.
I'm sorry I get your point but I don't agree this time. That really didn't slow down the sequence and added to urgency of trying to hinder Bond. Just my opinion.
The SP chase is meant to be far more of a light-hearted, operatic sequence than an edge-of-your-seat, action packed one. The call interrupts none of that momentum for me.
And they so to start setting up the foster brother angle to add insult to injury.

Which is precisely why I won't go easy on EoN. People often cite their past glories as if it gives license to some of the dumb shit they've been pulling lately but ultimately EoN have been long in the game to know better. SP was a mess of a movie, beyond disappointing and given the time and resources available they really doubled down on dumb shit.
I agree. The scene conveyed Bond thinking he was making progress only to have M shut that down and pull him 2 steps back. Where Bond had the assistance of MI6 one minute, in the next Monday basically disavowed him, while removing her makeup no less. It was actually a good scene and added to the suspense of what the hell Bond was going to do next all on his own....unlike that terrible intercutting of that awful car chase in SP.
Well, of course not. There's never a moment where Bond says to her, "Hey, Moneypenny, I'm being chased by a scary strongman in an orange sports car, in case you weren't aware. I could totally die soon, so hurry up on the intel."
I probably should've been making a sandwich during that sequence too. Would've been a better use of my time.
This cuts to the heart of what is wrong with the whole sequence - Bond doesn't care, Moneypenny doesn't care, not even Hinx seems to care. So why should we?
Yes, Hinx was polite and waited for Bond to finish his call.
In fact Hinx was always very polite ...waited for guy to finish talking before gauging out his eyes, let Bond and Swann finish their drinks before attacking ....just all around very polite guy.
Post of the week
Thanks
Admittedly it was the best sandwich scene since GE. :P
Like having a screwdriver jammed into my ears.
Don't choke on the tomato.
I'll be careful. :D
