Last time I was there (2009) it was pretty misty. Here's the classic pic of the entrance to the glen.

(I have relatives in Inverness so I have been up in that part of Scotland a bunch of times).

Killer? More like a massacre!;)


was a above the hidden Valley where they used to hide the cattle they rustled from the neighbours. Still to return to do the three sisters and the other Dangerous on the right of your picture long and slim in places ridgeline walk. We have already had snow on the hills hear so things might get interesting ;)

enjoyed it enough, but not even close as good as the other two (especially Casino Royale) - still this Bond is head and shoulders better than all the others.

Seemed to play more like Batman/Bourne than Bond (now we're full circle) - but it came through nicely towards the end.

I like how it just took the first 3 movies and used them to set up the pre-story finishing here with all the nostalgia and set ups. Ralph F will be a perfect M. And even those same office doors and a Montepenny.

Just saw the new James Bond movie. The color sucked. The editing was pretty good. There were a few lagging scenes but story line held your interest. From the rushes you thought there might have been some white/black love making but that never happened. You might have thought skydiving was involved from the title--not. Back comes the the PPK. I suppose S&W will sell many PPK's but the Polish P64 is much better, small and very accurate. The bad guy was hysterical and the most entertaining. Good flick worth watching but I'd wait for the video. The color on the big screen was just disappointing. OH they killed M off, and shot up Sean Connery's old car so I gather we're into a new era of Bond movies.



I finally saw it today, the colour is what it looks like in the UK in Autumn/Winter. I enjoyed it, it could have been better though if some dick head hadn't mentioned that M died in the end.

Some people can't talk about a movie without spoiling it for others. They don't mean to ruin your experience, they're simply thoughtless. Look at how many people in this thread did it starting with the very first post.

I think the only way to avoid them is to see the films as early as you can and assume all discussions will have spoilers.

Funny thing: my best friend is Hungarian. I have to keep repeating to her NOT to tell me ANYTHING about movies she has seen, because apparently, in her culture (her Hungarian friends have confirmed), it is normal to discuss all aspects of the movie... The notion of "spoilers" is lost on them... [:/]:S

(Or maybe she is just cruel and winding me up??! :D)

Sorry for any spoiler. It was meant more for people who saw the movie. I don't read reviews I just go see the movie. Perhaps you might try that so not to ruin your viewing experience.
I was referring to projected color, not color effects of sky color etc. The copy you saw in your theater might have been better than the copy I saw.

I was at the PX Wednesday and saw it was for sale. I saw it on the big screen when I was back in the states and picked up the DVD. I got home and hooked up a couple of new speakers to my stereo and connected the DVD player. Watched Skyfall in surround sound and had a great evening.

It wasn't the bold new take on the character that the first of this reboot was, but I really liked the merger with the original series. I was able to totally sympathize with the Bond character's devotion to duty despite other things going on. In fact, I might watch it again tonight.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

You did not watch it very well. Skyfall was the name of his family home. It was on the wall at the entrance to the estate.

Favorite bit:

Bond flips the cover off a red button on the gear shift and says:

Bond: Are you gonna complain the whole way?

M: Oh, go on then. Eject me. See if I care.
