Amazing how different this Craig's Bond was from predecessors.
Less gadgets and more grit. A lot more introspection about his own life and role in the world.
And a “through line” to the whole series.

Also, he goes to crowded clubs and bars and yet he always gets served immediately.
The dude retired like 4 times in the movies too, and always in glamorous fashion.
How much was he getting paid?
And what did he spend his retired days doing?
