    Is Craig’s Bond ex Navy? I thought that was unclear due to the rebooting.

    Missile room scene claustrophobic, Ticking clock is convenient though.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Arnold channels Kamen's style as Bond is underwater after the HALO jump.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Music “Helicopter Ride” Cues from this point are only on the 2nd album. The 1st album had to be released before the later music was ready. Same situation had happened before (TB)

    The HALO jump is a highlight!

    Definitely! It was nice to see a skydiving scene in a movie that uses practical work and doesn’t cut unnecessarily to a CG shot of the actors face.

    Yes, indeed. This scene is faster paced, though.

    Not sure about that. Conti's shrill synths were really 'distinctive'.

    "Another Carver building. If I didn't know better I'd say he's got an Edipus complex?

    General Chang has only a fleeting appearance, considering how often he's referred to. No mention of any comeuppance for him, at the end.

    I know the legend, but forgot the spelling. My point was the lack of relevance to tall buildings. The line makes no sense at all.
