I found it interesting that his tux fit so well considering he stole it off of someone.

I feel that I am better able to complain if I have first hand **** experience.

I'd look for the person that left the bag, they might be out to get you; nothing says "Dear Sir, may I express through the gift of this bag of canine excretion the indignation your continued existence continues to arouse in my usually serene soul." more than leaving a bag of (burning) dog **** on your porch.

Here's an extract from some genius expounding on the merits of QoS on superfuture:

"It's pretty confusing if you want this movie to make sense. It doesn't make sense immediately. You really have to abstractly think about things to make it make sense. In that aspect, it's kind of a bad movie."

I liked the reviewer's comment about the "soft lines" of Brioni suits and that functioning sleeve buttons are indicators of "high sartorial status" (once upon a time, maybe). In the L.A. Times article, which was somewhat longer, he also speaks of Roger Moore's wearing a DB, peak-lapel DJ as if that were some sort of sartorial atrocity.

Methinks journalist Adam Tschorn doesn't know much about quality menswear, but that is often the way of journalists: They often think that by virtue of their journalistic training they can write about anything, even that about which they know little or nothing.

I've always admired the consistency and zeal with which Matt seems to subject himself to things he's bound not to like.

I've been doing that for 30 years and no-one's woken up yet. It's what we do.

in the movie? Could it be that Herring shoes has them on offer under their own brandname

(Ryder III) After all, the only difference to me seems to be the inner lining.

I believe this is the first Bond film in a VERY long time that he did not sport at least one three-piece. Also, wasn't this supposed to be a continuation one hour past the final shot of the last film where he looked smashing, managing to pull off a three-piece while hoisting a machine gun as he said "Bond....James Bond..." Is this a continuity problem, or did he decide to change suits first before driving back to the city?

Clearly he stole a new suit from the mansion of they guy he shot in the leg. Luckily, the suit fit as perfectly as the tux that he steals later in the movie.

the wardrobe changes are phenomenal from scene to scene seeing as Bond travels the world without any luggage. In the airport scene when Bond and Mathis arrive in Bolivia, I think Bond is carrying nothing more than a briefcase. I also love how the scars on his face seem to heal like magic.

I've noticed that happens quite a bit in movies.
