y mistake. Just hadn't remembereed that bit in the books...

I thought perhaps I'd missed something; It would appear I've read the books a little too much...

Just been invited to the Skyfall premier on 31/10/12 in Luxembourg

[Halb]

Why is it being held in Luxembourg?

It isn't, that's the Luxembourg premier, the world premier is at the Albert Hall om 23/10/12.

Its on general release over here on the 26th so we will see it first!

Pedant!

We sometimes have to wait a long time for releases as they're usually subtitled in French & Dutch too, so on this occasion, the fact that it's only a few days after general release is a pleasant change. Oh, and someone else is paying for 2 of us to go.



(OK, it's only €8/ea. to go anyway, but still... )

[Halb]

Well yes I am!

But I honestly thought you meant it was to be in Luxembourg!

Being held in London makes much more sense.

You do realise it might be a pan-and-scan version since Luxembourg probably doesn't have room for a widescreen cinema.

[Halb]

That's good.

My only concern is they add too much humour. Ive enjoyed the last to because they cut out most of the Brosnan type silliness.

Humour always has a place in Bond as long as its the right kind. Dry and cutting rather than camp and silly.

Shocking!

[FUBAR]

I think they got the humour just right, certainly not camp and silly. The whole film felt very much a pared back James Bond, mostly believable. Even the 'sexiness' seemed to be trimmed back to allow you to concentrate on Bond etc. Daniel Craig is now probably my favourite Bond.

[Pesty]

He was my favourite right after watching his first one.

How about IMAX?

[Asterix]

I'm so excited about this film - I can't wait to see it.

The hype for Skyfall and the 50th anniversary stuff going round has all the makings of a Oscar "campaign" to me.
