I respectfully read your post and wanted to make that clear as I don't mean my following comments to seem in any way dismissive or disrespectful, but I couldn't help chuckling. You've bombarded me with questions none of which I have the slightest interest in addressing for the very reason I gave earlier: ie. you are asking about the logic of plot points and action sequences in a Bond movie. To me, there simply isn't any point in doing that. Also you've made the agreeably bizarre request that I back up something I don't think is there, the Moreishness. You've very reasonably stated why you think it is there, and I disagree but respect your views. But I don't see how I can 'back up' the fact I don't see those connections, as pleasingly metaphysical as that notion is. All I can say is, I've read your views on it, but I don't see those connections. Maybe with the exception of the Fiat 500 scene, I can kind of see that.
I'm really not fussed what reviewers said, if they were in line with your views so be it, but it makes no difference to me, nor does this Bourne thing you've mentioned a couple of times which strikes me as irrelevant.
I can't bear that one who plays Vesper, she's a truly terrible actor (well she is in that film anyway) and the banter on the train is a bit cringey. Whoever did her wardrobe didn't do her any favours, they provided a series of really horrible dresses for her to look ill-attired in.
I short, as far as 007 movies go, pre-Craig I can sort of stomach Goldfinger and Daylights, Licence To Kill is okay, if I have absolutely nothing I feel like doing and have no energy to get off the couch I might slouch my way through most of Die Another Day. With the Craigs, I like them all, with Skyfall being probably the best, and Quantum good for the odd scene here and there.
