    As much as Craig's clothes get thrashed on, I really like his Skyfall outfit. The dark green jacket over the blue sweater looks damn good on him.
    I like that attire. It's as stylish as it can be considering he's basically preparing for war.

    Absolutely. I must say this is the best viewing of SF I've had in a long time.
    It's every frame entertaining!

    Of the Craig climactic sequences, this is my favorite by far.

    Frozen lake sequence.

    Interestingly a couple years ago I relocated to a much more seasonal environment and for the first time in my life have gotten to see a frozen lake. Pretty cool, actually and I always think of SF and TLD.

    We should start a debate thread on whether we prefer the brown leather padded door, the red leather of the Connery era, or LTK's blue.

    @ToTheRight Glad to hear it. I haven't had a viewing of SF that wasn't great myself. TB is getting the best viewing its ever had from me, so it's about to join my Top 10.

    Red leather, no doubt.

    Diamonds Are Fovever, part one:

    - Love the gunbarrel lighting effect. And the film version of the music is better than the soundtrack version, thanks to the added reverb.

    - Blofeld's hideout reminds me of Palmyra.

    - I love the way Bond puts his hands up. And that sudden transition to violence.

    - Great transition into the title sequence. It's the cat's meow, literally.

    - I enjoy the colors and the typeface of the title sequence.

    - Love the horns at the end of the Diamonds Are Forever song, when Shirley Bassey sings "fore-e-ver... FOH-REVER!"

    - M is cranky in this film. And Bond so snobbish when he tastes the sherry. How he has to stop to say "unmistakable" before taking a sip.

    - The repeated dialogue is more noticeable to me now. But I greatly enjoy the irony of the narration set against the images we are seeing.

    - Glover and Smith are so well cast, beginning with their quirky looks. There is some great black comedy when they take out Dr. Tynan.

    - Thanks to the Bond films, I've always wanted to travel by hovercraft or hydrofoil. It's on my to-do list. They just seem so cozy.

    - Seeing Ms. Case making such a nakedly bold entrance into the picture makes me want to become a smuggler-- or spy.

    - "Please don't, not on my account." Connery is on fiahah in this film. Not bored at all, just hitting the perfect tone the movie requires.

    - I love how Bond walks so close to Tiffany when they leave the plane.

    - "We were inseparable, you know." You hypocrite.

    - Appropriately, the stained glass at Slumber, Inc. is in the shape of a diamond.

    - David Bauer looks like Charles Gray. I'm sure I got them confused when I was a kid.

    - Look at how Bond sits in such a shy, reserved way while waiting for the urn to be delivered. Milking the black comedy for all its worth.

    - They sure put out the fire of the coffin pretty quickly.

    You get early and late Connery and Moore. Looking forward to reading your thoughts.

    @Birdleson Good luck.

    FRWL and LALD is a pretty great double feature!

    Occasionally I watch Dr No and LALD as I think there are very many
    Similarities between them.

    I hate the breaking of the third wall with Vijay playing the Bond Theme on his flute (because that is exactly what it is; I don't buy any story about it being some code). Like the double-take pigeon, the Tarzan yell or the Blofeld-Oberhauser-Bond connection, it just goes too damned far. When I experienced each of those things for the first time they put my brain in such a disruptive state it left me wondering if the series could ever recover.

    "That's a charming tune"

    Yes, quite corny isn't it.

    I do quite like the opening bars of Nobody Does it Better being played as the door code in FYEO though.
