Bond is trying to meet her boss why because radio + gunships -> he convinces her that he can kill her boss -> she tells him about the ship going to meet her boss -> Bond arrives on the ship and basically gives himself up, possibly because fuck finding Silva in a place that size when he can be just taken to him, possibly because he is sure that he can escape why because Bond -> she has judged poorly.

Or she figures that she doesn't mind dying if there's a chance Silva will be caught.

The assassin was doing a completely different job, Bond as always relying on blind luck.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 12 November 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link
no right i got that it was a totally difft job, just wondering what the job actually was (and why bond seemingly needed to wait for him to shoot the dude before wreckin shop) - it didn't bother me, actually i liked how it was this window into the routine workaday world of the international assassin, just wondered what was up
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 November 2012 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
if the assassin didn't execute, the employer would have gotten suspicious.
how come bond only had the one bullet wound? shouldn't he have at least another from being pegged by moneypenny? plus years of spying.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 12 November 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
He had a couple, the one that was swole was where he still had shrapnel in there

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 November 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
haha also i will admit that for a long time i thought the bullet he extracted FROM HIMSELF like a goddan RONIN HARDMAN was the moneypenny bullet and i was like, why are you having this analyzed, just ask moneypenny, wait why is moneypenny using radioactive rounds that makes no sense, wait oh

is bond canonically half-French? it'd be a weird thing to add to the franchise just now unless the next movie they reveal le chifre was his uncle or something.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 12 November 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
well it would explain his retrograde attitude towards women and his need for approval from a mother-figure
/yeah that's right
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 November 2012 21:21 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, I was also quite suprised that his mother was french (or canadian ?).there are many french bond girls, that said !

A guy in our theater yelled "WHAT?!?!" like he was very taken aback -- it was one of the most emotional responses to a movie I've seen since a guy ran out of Crossroads crying.

Parental stuff is canon, but she's not quite French:
James Bond was born of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix, from the Canton de Vaud.

Tracer you were NOT the only one about the bullet, I promise, I thought the same thing at first

Bullet confused me as well, Tracer. Wasn't helped by having him reflected in a mirror as he dug out the bullet fragments, either.

Thought this was an okay way to spend 2:30 but overall pretty leaden and over-plotted, could have been one of the terrible Brosnan Bonds except with better acting/more edge. Pretty annoyed at killing off M and making Naomie Harris Moneypenny.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 23:09 (eleven years ago) link
every half decent 'grown-up' action movie lately was overlong and overplotted, so sick of director's writing chops. Watch some mctiernan, learn something you hacks.

actually to be honest I could've accepted all the "hacking!!111" if the film hadn't been premised on the theft of a comprehensive MI6 cover list that was unaccountably on a laptop hard drive that was then transported to another country.
