Bond 23 - Skyfall

[Ari]

Look what I've found!!!

Taken by my good self with £5 worth of Kodak Brownie back in I guess about 1980 judging by the write up on the car you posted (sounds about right, and I'd have been about 12, there with my dad, and VERY excited about seeing a Bond car).

I'd pasted it into an old photo album that's in a collection here in my study.

Just a thought on Bonds Navy career.

His commission is RNR isn't it? so he wouldn't have had a "full time" job wearing a uniform as such, would he?

Is Win Lose or Die the one on the aircraft carrier? I enjoyed that.

I also enjoyed Jeffrey Deavers recent reboot. More than I enjoyed Skyfall certainly

I've been in that Bond Saab! My dad used to be the muttering rotter for the local paper he worked on, and it visited our local dealer as part of a promo tour, so we got a go in it!

A little late to the party...

Only just watched this on DVD for the first time. I will put my hands up and admit I'm not a fan of Bond at all tbh so watched it with low expectations.

Was however pleasantly surprised. Thought the cinematography was very very good, some beautiful scenes. Nice to see a bit of depth to Bond's character rather than a couple of joking (?smooth) lines and a laser toothbrush that can kill everyone in the room. For me that makes the character a bit more interesting than the Bonds of old (imvho) as you get to see their flaws.

I found DG a little wooden in Layer Cake but I think his Bond (at least in this film) is gritty and intriguing.

There were some silly bits (but perhaps expected in a film of this nature) but overall not too shabby.

Isn't just about anything though?

Just don't get it on Audible - The "Seeth Ifreekan" accent Toby Moody puts on got me some odd looks when I burst out laughing on the train

Hmm, I was a bit disappointed with this (only watched it last night). I do get fed up of supposedly highly trained killers walking into traps etc.. I mean strolling down the main road to his house? Are you kidding me??!
