I think Del Toro then would make like a remake of Dr. No and have the mechanical monster of Dr. No, that kept the villagers away from his compound, to have a larger part on the movie. 🙂 ---

> [@Grumman](#): > > Didn’t Bond spend part of _Die Another Day_ with a beard? That was only 10 years and 3 movies ago. He spent several years (I think) in a North Korean prison, where his beard grew long and grizzled. After his release, he kept it for a reel or two until he could clean up. It did NOT look good on him. ---

I’m glad to see Judi Dench returning as M. I was afraid she might be getting too long in the tooth to continue. I like the hostile chemistry between her and Daniel Craig. ---

I had no idea … (I’m not the **The Tooth** , but caught apparently equally unaware.) \*Ronin \* was so good … (as were so many of Frankenheimer’s movies). Anyway – on to the living and the OP: I’m really looking forward to _Skyfall_; _Quantum of Solace_ was a letdown from _Casino Royale_, but the latter set an extraordinarily high bar. At least it didn’t have an “invisible” car. I like Mendes’ other work, and I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Ticket sold. ---

Geez. He shouldn’t have gone and died like that before making the next James Bond film. ---

This is great news. As someone who would watch James Bond in “Agent 007 Reads The Manhattan Phone Directory” as long as it involved Daniel Craig, I cannot wait. If they could somehow squeeze Liam Neeson into the film, I would be gobsmacked. UT [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yess-new-james-bond-skyfall-edited-title/601737.md?page=2)
