Skyfall

Nov 11, 2012 11:00


Loving Bond films that are sexy as fuck without being sexist as fuck. Admittedly, there's always something, but this is a marked improvement.

Tired of the threatening homosexual cliche. But deeply, deeply pleased by the way it was immediately deflected as NON-threatening. Bond: "What makes you think it's my first time?" Jo: "LET ME LOVE YOUR FACE, SIR."

I am okay with M's death. She can't do this job forever, wouldn't have retired, and she would have wanted it to be in the field. (And my shipper heart was happy Bond was there.)

"To hell with dignity. I'll leave when the job's done." YOU ARE A LADY AFTER MY OWN HEART, M.

SO PLEASED there was no halfassed, last econd love interest attempt with her and Kincade. Not sure if we'll ever see him again, but he was pretty fucking badass. "Welcome to Scotland" indeed.

A little weirded out by the reveal that Bond comes from old money. The orphan info isn't new, but did I just assume the blue collar side of it?

New Q is lovely and a bit cocky. I enjoy his face and want to see more of it.

New M I saw coming from a mile away. Sad it's not another woman, but not angry over it.

Moneypenny! That reveal was coming from ages away as well. Glad she has the street cred. Glad she's a lady of color. Glad I was not spoiled for that.

Here is my one real concern: There is nowhere interesting to go from here. We've got all the backstory. We're back to Bond status quo. The bedrock of my emotional investment in new!Bond was Dench!M. Concerns.

Dear internet, I want ALL the Bond/M fic. Please provide.
