The World Is Not Enough Question?

TWINE. The author of all our pain.

It is a very good film

I like all Brosnan films really

Surely if Renard is dead, the call wouldn't be made so presumably the bad guys will kill Elektra?Bond thought he was bluffing. Hence, Bond said "You're bluffing." It means Bond thought he was bluffing. And that Bond had accepted that he was going to have to keep Elektra safe after completing his mission.

he rarely kills people who haven't tried to kill himIt's part of his character definition and job description more from the books than the glossed-over movies, who had to worry about censors, ratings bureaus and broader audience backlash.

Makes some folks sillily pantybunch when they watch what a more "faithful" to source Bond actually does for a living, say when pursuing Patrice in Shanghai in SF...instead of leaping about trying to save all folk which isn't really Bond's thing, exactly. He's a 00 because he solves our problems for us that require a colder heart and grayer morality than a dumb policeman's.

Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.

I came here to ask how Elektra's British father had controlled the oil in Azerbaijan when it would have been part of the USSR for almost all his life.

I was just told that I cared about the plot of TWINE much more than anyone else ever did.

If you must blink, do it now.

The last time this came up I suggested that Elektra's mother might have been a member of the Soviet politburo. But either way it makes more sense than a Korean turning into a stiff-assed Brit by exchanging his genetic code AND becoming an unchallenged member of the British upper class AND sponsoring the UK Olympic fencing team AND being knighted by Her Majesty AND (insert your favourite further achievement here), all within 14 months without anyone asking how this came about.

At the very least you care a lot more about the plot than Purvis or Wade did.

I don't think the plot of TWINE waa the problem. The execution certainly was, however.

Yeah, that is true. I chalk it up to Bond killing him because M was close to Elektra's father and she would probably order him to be eliminated immediately, even in cold blood.
