Skyfall
Before landing checks - the scar doesn't change sides - he was looking in a mirror!
I thought it was a great film - back to how it used to be - a storyline instead a none stop adrenhaline. A silhouette of a girl in the title sequence, an amusing bad guy, a good twist in the tale and plenty of British humour, stubbornness and resilience. Just a shame the gamekeeper doesn't have the usually scottish gamekeepers accent - but then I guess no one would have understood him!

Well, Bond is all about stereotypes, isn't it?
AB: Well done and most amusing!
From and 'outsiders' point of view I can say that I would personally find it somewhat sad if the UK were to cede Scotland - sadder still if that is what the people of Scotland truly want but .. they have the right decide .. I suppose!

Naa It's only what they THINK they want......Poor old Haggis -munchers got conned by their lords and masters into paying a fortune for a crandiose palace for their parliament.
Did they wake up and smell the coffee?- did they bo11ocxs! Thick sods will swallow all the talk, vote in devolution and then whine as their fat-cat masters carve up the spoils among themselves.
Britain will be expected to pick up the empty shell and refill it when jockistan wants to rejoin and OUR politicians will probably go along with it too.
We were talking stereotypes, weren't we?

Loving the stereotypes! I shall refrain from joining in, however, you may or may not be surprised to hear that the vast majority of Scots I know (myself included) do not want independence. I personally can't think of a worse idea!
So, back on topic, general consensus is that the film's worth a watch?

Yeah, they built that monstrosity when there was that lovely old co-op building next to the kingston bridge.

What I personally like was that it went back to the original Bond Genre. I agree that there has been too much S.E (not single engine) which is the hollywood effect.
