...not only did it wrap up the latest group of Bond films, it had scenes reminiscent of some in them as well as in others.

A nice trip down memory lane.

Now, who will plat the next bond?

Had to make sure I had it. Yep, the new Red Grant (Bautista) had his final showdown on a train. There were other such homages all through the film. But, the finality of Craig's run was announced when he went to Q and got the DB5. "I thought you were gone?" Craig: "I am . . . "

So, this is the "happy ending" for Craig's Bond and it, in a sense, resets the series to be possibly be recycled. I do hope M and Moneypenny are held over the for new series.

I presume Craig has a mattress full of Euros because nothing he's done outside of 007 has ever caught fire. I noticed he was a producer of this film so maybe he's going to flourish in another direction?

  ...actually he is contracted for one more Bond film.
  
  But he has aspirations at more serious acting parts, rather than a typecast recurring role, like he had in Munich and perhaps Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
  
  Sean Connery had quite a film career after he quit Bond.

    . . . including the greatest movie in the history of film (just IMHO of course!):
    
    According to Connery (or was it Boorman?), one of the big challenges of making this film (shot in Ireland, where the population was still heavily under the influence of the Catholic church in 1971) was finding enough Irish girls who were willing to be filmed topless.

      ...is that Zardoz?
      
      Excellent film - most of the Irish girls I've known wouldn't have a problem with that.
      - Yup - that's Zardoz [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 15:20:22 11/12/15 (3)

        Ever seen Sante Sangre or Reanimator?
        
        Sorry - neither one - I'll watch for them [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 19:40:50 11/12/15 (1)

        ...not likely you will come across them unless you seek them out - 1980s films.
