Bond ... James Bond

re the opening ....

Spoiler:

This was one of the Bonds where the opening does not relate directly to the main plot of the film. A great many of them open that way.

In this case, the two men killed - though they don't relate to the terrorism finance plot of the film - strongly relate to the subplot of Bond becoming, well ... Bond. It's his first mission as a Double O. He's very rough around the edges. As the guy who gets shot explains in the opening, Bonds needs two kills to become a Double O. Bathroom fight is first kill, and the second is ... heheh, considerably easier.

I tend to prefer the darker, more brooding Bonds. Sean Connery, of course ... but my second fave is easily Timothy Dalton.





Well ... till now.







And I forgive the Ford placement because it was used as a very good joke ... the Sony Vaio stuff was just gratuitous and ... yeah, Brad would hate it if he could just get his attention off Daniel Craig for a minute.
