As I said, my attention wanders during this movie. The viewings for this article were the most focused I've ever been while watching it. Although... if everything was no problem for Vijay, then he didn't have problems to have no more of, so I was right about him not being very troubled anyway. ;) But yes, it is a poignant moment.<br /><br />- CodyLife Between Frameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186028067136953502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130912260408301801.post-22662147704977148032012-07-05T00:15:49.868-04:002012-07-05T00:15:49.868-04:00Well, this was the first Bond movie to hit theater...Well, this was the first Bond movie to hit theaters after I'd become a confirmed fan two years previously - and I used my newly gained (like three weeks before) driver's license to take myself to the movies on opening night to see it. Maybe because of that nostalgia, or because I'm just more able to get past the misplaced humor (mostly, anyway) - I like this adventure quite a bit more than you do. I'm not here to present a counter case - so I'll simply say a couple of things and head out. Penelope Smallbone was played by author James Michener's daughter, which was touted in the press a fair amount in the pre-release period. They really promoted the stuffing out of this movie too - there was the "Bond at 21" special we've chatted about before; and my local CBS affiliate's noon news actually had a little 2-3 minute blurb about Fleming and the character and this movie as their wrapup story at the end of a broadcast one afternoon. Also, the "No more problems." line was prompted by Vijay's saying "No problem" several times when speaking with Bond. I like Vijay a lot - he's right up there with Kerim Bey for likability - and his Sacrificial Lamb scene is almost hard to watch, making the moment of mourning from Bond much appreciated. And for the record - I think Robert Brown's M is Admiral Hargreaves promoted - I think M's leave in For Your Eyes Only was his bow out from the job, and Hargreaves moves in. (I'm speaking of the character, not actor Bernard Lee.)<br /><br />Well, I wish this one rated higher for you - but there you go.
