Oh, so is it only me?
Sorry 😥
Sorry 😥 I'll just delete it.
Oh wow, never have thought about this before- great point! I'm sure he kept it short and sweet (especially Dalton's Bond, haha). That would have been a nice inclusion, even if just as a deleted scene.
I like this thought; I'd never considered it! Another interesting thought related to it is how the Moore era seemed to downplay Bond's cars. As you mentioned, most of Moore's cars were stolen or loaned (AMC Hornet, Melina's car, the taxi in AVTAK, etc.), and both of the Lotus cars in FYEO are barely seen. Only the Lotus in TSWLM seems to get any attention. I don't know if this was a conscious effort during his era or maybe just a byproduct of already having plenty of other gadgets, but it's interesting to note.
I think you may be right. My initial thought was this Aeroméxico flight which crashed on 31 August 1986 after a collision with a smaller aircraft over Los Angeles. But the Tupolev incident sounds more plausible. Thanks @j_w_pepper.

It's been released in March 26, 1964 by Jonathan Cape, and next year, will be celebrating its 60th anniversary, hope the IFP would not forget it.
Never thought of that before! Just noticed it!
Oh very interesting.
I've been tempted to do it a couple of times but I've always bottled it. I also have quite a harsh sounding name which doesn't help.
Openly flirts with Bond; projects self-confident sexual dynamism; boldly commands the table; and strides through the casino like she owns it.
The very first Bond Girl.
Every bit his equal.
In 1962.
I rather like Kaplan! We share the same boot maker. (sorry feeling silly today!)
Yes I think people would assume you are a Bond fan when you introduce yourself like that. But when you think of it, this way is brilliant for being remembered.
And then breaks into his house and puts on his clothes.
A bit of pervert as well.
Much appreciated @thedove, it would be a great way of being remembered. Perhaps I'll get around to it one of these days.
Yeah, it just feels like in a film where they’ve decided Bond won’t say it until the final scene, it’s a bit of a choice to have another character do it. Maybe not, it’s not given any significance by the direction, but vaguely interesting nevertheless.
The movie, quite particularly Mathis and the ending, have to do with phones. It could be Bond being coy about catching up to Mr. White via Vesper's phone, which probably does last-name, first-name, and Mr. White did ask his name over the phone. Plus, if he thinks Mathis is a bad guy with Mr. White, maybe introducing himself as Mathis would is a message too-I caught you etc.
