This isn't a rant as such, but I just went to see the new Bond film and was really miffed in the opening fifteen minutes as they cut from a shot with Bond's collar coming over his lapel and in the next shot of the same scene it was tucked nicely under.

It wasn't crucial to the plot etc, but you would think this kind of thing would be picked up in edit...

Can we not just have a goddamn spoiler?

This is starting to piss me off.

Seeing the film will be enough of a spoiler smile

Anything else about the film you'd like to tell us?

I won't mention the out-of-sequence shots in the first three minutes chase scene then.

Yeah, and who'd have thought Bond and M would get it on at the end!

QoS has more plot holes in it than a room full of cheerleaders.

Waaa wierd! They showed that scene as a trailer on tv the other day, and I noticed it immediately as well! Funny what PH pedants people notice...

That would need QoS to HAVE a plot. It is just a tableau of action scenes.

Exciting action scenes, nonetheless, but not on the same plane as Casino Royla in the 'stroy' stakes.

It compeltely lacks 'story', which is a shame because there was scope in the film to have some - they just didn't bother.
