->At the risk of sounding like [[Series/OneFootInTheGrave Victor Meldrew]] (I can think of worse role models!) ‘I don’t ''believe'' it!’ The episode was cruising along harmlessly enough and I was actually congratulating the writers (in my head of course) for avoiding the trap of having Tom Paris turn up and crack that ''hilarious'' gag about Harry [[FatalAttractor falling for the wrong woman]] again. I should have known better than to dish out credit [[TemptingFate before an episode is over.]]

->The porter who greets Bond out front takes a gander at the Bentley and says that they ''“don’t make ‘em like this anymore!”'' Bond replies, ''“It’s still in pretty good shape.”'' Apparently, the writers thought [[{{Anvilicious}} the metaphor wasn’t obvious enough]], because it’s repeated immediately as we cut to Bond being examined by a doctor. The doctor says Bond has ''“enough scar tissue for an entire regiment!”'' and Bond replies, ''“Right, but it’s still in pretty good shape.”'' Right, I think we got it.

->Real life Woody Allen must have suffered a brain injury because he thought this movie had so much material, he couldn’t possible trim this from 112 minutes. Just for some perspective, ''Crimes and Misdemeanors,'' a philosophical musing about morality and justice in the universe is about 100 minutes. This movie about Woody bumping into chairs is 12 minutes longer than that... No no, please Woody, I want the three hour extended edition please.
