I don't recall any `knock knock' jokes or `mother-in-law' jokes, but the script did have some black humour moments. Guess it depends on whether you found them funny or not.

Either that, or the British press are up to their usual bull sh*t again.....

A lot of so called 'good reviews' and A+++++++++++ ratings came from the critics two weeks before the official premiere of the movie... I saw some news articles as early as october 18, 2006 saying that 99.5% of so called 'movie critics' in UK & US said that the movie is great and they give it a two...

Daniel Craig's debut film as James Bond earned an estimated $2.8 million on the weekend from 1,305 screens in 33 markets. The over...

I certainly hope not. :shock: Geez 3 million isn't that much when making a movie! Compared to how much the movie made its an insult. For craig it was more money then he ever saw before. might never have if didn't take this role. that motivated him more than the role of 007 . same thing happened to ...

I've read all the books, and with the exception of CR , Bond exhibits an increasing humour, much of it self-aimed. I think you stated the obvious right there. CR the novel was n...

Robert Shaw is looking *a lot* like craig's Bond.

Now you come to mention it, Craig does like Shaw on that pic. I think he went on record saying this was his favourite film, and Shaw was his favourite actor in a Bond film.

OHMSS is my favourite novel, followed by TMWTGG (I know this is not very popular, but I loved it).

There was also a Perrier crash in TLD too from what I remember (opening in Gibraltar).
