I& #39;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">https://twitter.com/andrewsil...
If I& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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):
Now, my new favourite section: #Room42. Who is the mysterious Mr Krug?
This week& #39;s theory is from Adele, who is certain that this man is a frustrated South African spinbowler with a fractured wrist, seeking private Cuban therapy to get him back into the first XI.
I also promised to offer up a scene that would be improved by the addition of the word & #39;fuck& #39; (which as a 12 rated film Die Another Day is permitted to use once).
Adele wants to use it to convey the NSA Chief& #39;s panic when the invasion of South Korea starts, I& #39;d like to use it to underline Gustav Graves& #39; competitive nature:
You know what? Writing this thread and looking back over my notes has rather put a spring in my step. I& #39;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.
