The way Americans default to Sir (etc) never ceases to amaze me. Not for nothing, but that's not the vibe I'm looking for.

Watching the show and she called it an "MRI Scan" and my douchey FTNMR brain kicked in and said "well actually it isn't scanning..."

There's no redemption for me

Hilary was absolutely right that they are deplorable. A party of deplorable people.

Making people on "the left" (lol) apologise for calling out right wing bastards being right wing bastards has been the biggest mistake of the last quarter century.

Even though I know it's a mixture of scale models and CGI and whatnot, I still think the sinking building in Venice is one of the best visual and practical effects in a movie. It just looks real.

Unrelated - I always thought the dealer in Montenegro looked a bit like Cliff Simon(rip)/Ba'al in Stargate.

Fun fact: the white braces Daniel Craig wears in casino royale were supplied by my uncles company. My family had, for several generations, a belts and braces company.

I really like QoS. It is enjoyable.

In the book it isn't poker (obviously) but Baccarat. Changing to poker is a better choice, but it also loses a little charm.

The torture scene in the book lasts much longer (bond is tortured longer). I don't think we need to see more, but the truncated time line is less dark.

There's only a few things I would change in this movie.

One, there's too much poker. It needs a slightly tighter edit on the poker.
Two, the scene with the construction site has one shot where the camera gets covered in water droplets. I'd cut it. Or reshoot it..
Then there's the book deviations

The cinematography is beautiful, which helps and unfortunately could not be said for many prior installments. (Though the DP also did GoldenEye). I think Skyfall probably surpasses CR for photography though.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

The music in his earlier films was great too, but in CR it's excellent.
Likewise Judi Dench. Always incredible, but her M becomes truly special in this film.

Martin Campbell directed it. But he also directed Goldeneye. (And though that was great), this is a world better.

What I find so brilliant is that some of the best aspects are by/involve people from earlier movies - just showing how the quality of work can be improved with the right team and drive.

Like David Arnold did the music. And it's great. But he did the prior few movies too

Because Netflix has all (?) the bond movies now, I am watching casino Royale.

It's 20 years old.

It remains the best bond movie ever.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Its far from the worst thing JB has worn or done, but that suit is horrific. It'd maybe look good on John Goodman twenty years ago.
Also not a big fan of Bad Bunnys suit, but its more stylish and at least fits.

The fact that both are quite experiencedโ€”8 years and 12 years with CBPโ€”is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.
