Those figures suggests that Skyfall is regarded somewhat less favourably here than elsewhere.

Yes. Although if the neutrals are flipped to likes--an unsound proposition, no doubt--we wind up with a 91% "freshness" rating that is almost identical to Rottentomatoes' critical rating.

Soon you will submit. It is unavoidable. You will bow before the blue snuggies. :twisted:

I'm warming even more....

Alas, that is already happening. The authentic beach-worn blue snuggers, at least until January 20th are literally living down the street and around the corner from me. We commiserate regularly. I'm a fixture at the Barbican show. It's my second home. I complained about the quality of the LTK print they showed. The curator gave me a free movie (true) but warned me about loitering by the snuggers display (not quite true)

If it's any commiseration tiff, the pair Bond swims in in Skyfall (and damn, how cool was that pool?) looked like a different pair to me.

... love Craig!Bond and his speedos.

Sadly not as cool in real life.

This is very very true.

Indeed the SF blue trunks are barely visible. I am not even sure they are similar to the CR nutcrushers that are currently on display in my fair city.

Meanwhile for fans of the classic look:

UK brand Sunspel is recreating the iconic pale blue swim trunks worn by Sean Connery as Her Majesty's most infamous MI6 agent, Mr. Bond in 1965's Thunderball. It's all a part of Sunspel's relationship with franchise costume designer Lindy Hemming, and the Barbican's summer-long exhibition celebrating all things Bond. Connery groupies looking to get into Sean's shorts, this is your chance.

Personally I'd like to get a pair of both the TB trunks and the snuggers for the summer swim season.

I didn't like it!

I've shifted into the didn't like it camp, for the record.

Then make the bloody effort and add your name to the list.

I was planning on editing that into my post, I just had to leave the computer before I could :)

Will be interested to see this list in about a year, a year and a half's time.

if only there had been such a list for when Casino Royale came out.

I wonder if the Neutrals are still neutral?

Those bloody Swiss.

Dog Bond might switch to the likes, given her growing enthusiasm for SF.
