    The heart stopping scene is horrible. Doesn't belong in a Bond Movie.

    Self-induced cardiac arrest. How plausible is that?
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Yet, the hotel lobby scene is classic Bond.

    The scene where Bond walks in the hotel lobby is one of the best in the film!

    This whole sequence with the comic approach to the check-in... it is self-debunking and funny.

    The walking into the hotel scene is brilliant.

    The shaving scene in SF was written for this, but they got a product placement deal …..

    I love the stuffy look of the hot girl receptionist.

    And now... Arnold's best cue in this movie... a draft for an unused pitch for a title song...

    Music “What’s In It For You?/Cuba” The Cuba section is partially on the OST, but in a different edit

    The Havanna theme sounds quite good

    What were the thoughts on Berry’s casting back in ‘02? Jumping the gun a bit but just curious.

    Things go downhill for me in Cuba. Though well acted, the Raoul character seems a bit superfluous.

    Love the whole tobacco plant sequence.

    I was absolutely thrilled about the casting of Halle Berry.
    Loved her in Boomerang!

    Oh, I like him- I think he's almost Flemingesque.

    In the Kerim Bey tradition, but his role seems perfunctory... except for some bridging exposition.

    Music- “Cuban Car” Not on OST in this version. The OST has “Welcome To Cuba” which is differently edited.
