    Now, the most expensive fight ever. The CGI to fix Craig's hands (paint over the gloves that he was wearing when the scene was shot) was very expensive.

    I hear that a bit but is it actually true? Why would he be wearing gloves with a tux, indoors?

    Craig wanted to be wearing gloves for that fight for some reason. They'd shot a bunch of it and then realized later on that they had a problem with the signature gun. They fixed it by di

    Your behind by quite. A bit. That’s why they’re confused. We are on the boat now. Severin shower etc...

    One of the best villan monologues :007)

    Elevators and hydraulic sound effects used to be a staple of Bond films... Good to see Silva's entrance in an elevator.

    Not that fight. The fight with Patrice.

    No, it's the Macau Casino fight.


    He didn’t wear gloves in that fight. The fight that was CGId for gloves was the Patrice fight. Not the casino one. That is 100%.

    The set perfectly constructed for the monologue :x

    Silva's entrance scene is right up there. Magnificent Bond villain entrance.

    Craig wore padded cycling shorts filming this scene as he had to sit for so long.

    This scene takes the always underlying homoerotic Bond/villain relationship (Le Chiffre in CR is the best example) further than it's ever gone before.

    None whatsoever.

    The only other Bond villain actor who I could see playing Silva as well, in this theatrical, mannered style, would be Christopher Walken...

    Novel Bond is very homophobic.

    And I thought, that we wore them as a kind of protective layer against Bardem‘s fingering :)) :)) :))

    I don't interpret the scnene as Bond having homosexual experience. He's just resisting interegation tecinques. If his rection was "Get your hands off me, you pervert!" Silva would know he hit an emotional soft spot for Bond.

    Absolutely. He’s trying to put Bond off his game.

    How Silva shoots her at ease is shocking and my favorite piece of the movie

    Bond's apparent lack of concern about Severine's death is a problem, here, I think... because not Bondian. The sequence allows him no time for even a brief mournful reaction shot (as Bond over Aki's death, or even Bond taking a moment of sadness over Miranda Frost's dead body).

    It shows he’s not fun and likeable as he previously sets people up to think. Brilliant.

    Oh, I'd have to assume that part of his training would account for having to do whatever is necessary. If that means seducing and sleeping with another man, he'd do it. It's the job. It's not sexual at that point, it's just doing a job/performing a task.

    That said, it would not surprise me if they eventually opted to make Bond bisexual just to account for necessity.

    I wouldn’t go that far. It’s just words. And a mind game.

    I disagree.
