Picked the earliest screening I could get for Skyfall knowing that's it's nearly 3 hours long (well okay, 2 hours and 40 something minutes, with the usual scenes taken out for Malaysian audiences). Because I had something else to do beforehand and with the rainy weather, I was looking for parking around 8.30 p.m. and was rushing a little.
Dear GSC Cinemas,
I gather that Wednesday nights must be pretty busy for you because of the lower mid week ticket prices. Why then do you have only TWO ticketing counters and TWO concession counters open? You lost my concession stand business because I was put off by the long lines to buy Combo #1 for shits and giggles. Just saying.
I sent a shorter version of that complaint to GSC's Twitter account.
Sorry, I digress.
Glad I didn't get any snacks beforehand or else I wouldn't know when to use the bathroom as RunPee is US-based and they're only getting the movie this weekend. But if you had gone in with an empty bladder before the movie and needed to empty it again, go during the Home Alone-esque sequence when they were McGyver-ing booby traps with stuff from around Skyfall Lodge (to be fair, Bond's stuff had been sold off after his "death", even the stuff he inherited from his dead parents, like their guns).
- If his stuff had been sold off when they thought he "died", would he have to start from scratch?
- Telling Bond that he actually wasn't cleared for field work would be the end of the movie right there :P
- Like the new, young Q and the young, black Moneypenny.
- I like the gun that's programmed with Bond's palm prints. A nice touch.
- I think I might enjoy Ralph Fiennes as the new M. Making him a villain would be terribly obvious.
- Either it's me or the local Censorship Board, but I didn't see any green bottles of Heineken..?
- Javier Bardem's character being former MI6? Don't you have to be a British citizen or something to begin with?
- The line "orphans make the best recruits" still resonates with me. So simple, and (yet?) so true.
