Impy and Prisoner6, You need to see the movie on the big screen. It is a beautiful movie, but Mendes should have been making a Bond movie not Barry Lyndon.

I am not even sure why Berenice Marlohe is in the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to shower with her, she is beautiful, but there was absolutely no chemistry between Bond and Severine. Why was she even in the movie, as in the Medrano rape scene in QoS to make us dislike Rauol even more? She could barely utter her lines. I do not really consider Naomie Harris a Bond girl without giving a spoiler away.

I am trying to explain to someone on a Bond fansite why just because Bond has sex, it doesn’t make him a ladies man. As much as Brosnon had bad plots, he and Teri Hatcher had Chemistry in TND. Bond really doesn’t pursue Marlohe sexually, it sort of happens because the producers wanted to throw it in.

While there may not be a good plot reason I think Bond has to get laid, I consider it sacrilege he didn’t do Olga in the last movie (though he got lucky with some other chick IIRC)

Honey is right and I bet she has a honeypot too. I paid $14.50 for the Skyfall “Extreme” which is Skyfall on the larger screen.

Normally it would have been $11.50. Hell, I paid $6.25 for a large drink in a reusable “Twilight” plastic stadium cup.

Craig is a good-looking man, but it seems he’s lost his mojo as Bond in recent years. He looks tired, distraught and non-sexual at all. For a few minutes, he appeared to me to have ‘Mommy Issues’, and would be constantly drifting towards M for words of comfort. It was disturbing to see 007 act this way.

I have noticed that Craig-Bond sex scenes are, I hope I don’t sound like a woman, but they seem to lack passion or joy. They seemed to be contrived.

If I could have sex with Severine I would be overjoyed.

I find her very attractive, but in this movie she seemed dull and boring — and bored!

Christ, I found Adele’s singing voice more exciting and interesting than Severine’s character...

Let your girlfriend treat you to the movie, or Red Dawn which opens tonight.

I saw the “Extreme” version on a larger screen.

It just dawned on me as I was walking around my neighborhood this morning and saw a CAT (Caterpillar) crane thing that picks up dirt, etc. (as in the train scene in “Skyfall”— when Bond starts crushing VW Beetles with the crane) — anyway, how odd is it for a CAT crane to be in a passenger train outside Istanbul — and how double odd is it that 6 brand-new VW Beetles happen to be in said old train, with said old crane?

Maybe I’m putting too much thought on this...

I need to ‘let it go’... it’s Hollywood...

I saw CAT in Taiwan at the jobsite when I went over on “the project”.

I would love to go to Shanghai and Macao. A Scottish engineer told me to avoid the women in Shanghai, knew a married guy from England who picked up herpes in the first week; serves him right.

My favorite tracks from the soundtrack are “Severine” and “Old Dog New Tricks”.
