    These Catamarans from Australia where THE THING back then

    The company is Incat from Tasmania and their longest ferry is 112 meters long!

    Profile of Carver, with spiralling rings of purple light in his background... the lights recall Scaramanga's Fun House
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    The whole film echoes TSWLM, IMHO

    I don't like the drill. How does it wrk after drilling a hole in the hull or a wall? wait on the floor until the room floods? I trained dolphines attaching limpet mines to the hull would have been better.

    Even some sound effects are straight from TSWLM

    The sinking of The Devonshire and plight of drowning sailors... also echoes FYEO PTS

    It’s the bloke from Plusnet!
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Jonathan Pryce is just the right side of 'pantomime' in his performance...

    Gupta is a really interesting sub-villain. Self-regarding techno terrorist, ex 60s hippy

    Actually it's mostly in our imagination. The mine massacre in AVTAK was far more brutal.

    This movie could be released today and would not be out of place at all—as relevant as ever.

    Stamper has a fashionable 90s gay look with his wardrobe of tight fitting short sleeve tops

    The Danish professor in Oxford, meanwhile, has an incredible body...

    Lois Maxwell was pure class as Moneypenny. Samantha Bond is beautifully mischievous!
    Marvellous.

    Brosnan's Danish is actually predtty good. But it's mostly gutteral slurring anyway :))
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 36,305Chief of Staff
    Julian Fellowes, long before "Downton Abbey"

    Arnold delivers the Bond theme trad style. A real relief after Kamen and Serra.

    Well as a navy man myself, that whole sinking scene is difficult to watch :s

    Bond instructed to go pumping :)
    One of us smells like a tart's handkerchief.

    How's Brosnan's Deutsch, Higgins?
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,969MI6 Agent
    M's office... on the move, in the car... keeps up the pace

    But it doesn't feel right for M to be partaking in the innuendo... 'pumping' Paris for info.

    Yes, great scene! Just curious though, is the head of MI6 important enough to get a police escort while traveling?
