I'm not really sure how to say this, but for the first time - on my ninth viewing of Die Another Day in nine weeks - I did not really enjoy myself. https://twitter.com/andrewsillett/status/1272845213912924162
If I'm honest I would have expected the sheen to have come off sooner. Hopefully my joie de vivre will return next week, or Lockdown will be lifted. One of the two.
Let's kick off with the Shining Lights.
Very topically, Adele went for Toby Stephens making a real hash out of drinking a glass of water (he sort of holds it there and lets the liquid wash against his teeth for a few seconds):

I'm expecting a full public rebuttal from Toby demonstrating that he is, in fact, fully capable of drinking a glass of water like a human being.
My own choice for Shining Light is Bond's reaction to Miranda Frost spurning his low-effort, leering come on (which, to be fair to him, was a smash hit approach with Jinx earlier).
The Extras of the Week both come from Cuba.
Adele likes this couple having a row in Havana, and I like this family in the Cuban clinic (Bond breaks in through their open window, and they kinda like it):

I also promised to offer up a scene that would be improved by the addition of the word 'fuck' (which as a 12 rated film Die Another Day is permitted to use once).
Adele wants to use it to convey the NSA Chief's panic when the invasion of South Korea starts, I'd like to use it to underline Gustav Graves' competitive nature:
You know what? Writing this thread and looking back over my notes has rather put a spring in my step. I'm already looking forward to next week. See you then!
P.S. I made so many of these Die Another Day Gwyneth Paltrow orgasm candles last week that my phone automatically made them into a gif.
I see no reason not to share it.
