The very end with the Bond theme is badass to the point that I resent Quantum of Solace for taking away its triumph. Mr. White didn't need to be a recurring character.

Supposedly, she was supposed to be in her underwear in the shower scene, until Craig pointed out that it "didn't make sense" for her to take off her dress or something. Thanks a lot, Daniel.

The parkour scene is a pretty great action setpiece regardless of its faddishness, though. I think if you showed that scene to a 1974 audience, they'd think it's pretty cool. My dad loved it and he has no idea what parkour is.

The only scene in the entire film I can remember at all.

Peter Sellers! Orson Welles! David Niven! Woody Allen! Never has so much added up to so little.

Eh, maybe he pulls out.

Agreed, at least about Craig peaking with the first one. Casino Royale is probably my favorite Bond film, but I can barely remember any of the others and remember being mostly indifferent to them, aside from Quantum, which I disliked.

It's extremely weak, lazy trolling, though, and the fact that it's "working" doesn't really change that.

Clicked on this just for the inevitable 800 "NYC sucks now/NYC used to be GRITTY!!/I'm sick of movies about NYC" comments.

Quick Change starring Bill Murray! In which the protagonists rob a bank so they can leave the city forever. Anyway, it's great.

He's having a civil discussion with you and it's disturbing that you can't seem to recognize that.

Ford's earned a lifetime pass but I wish directors would STOP putting him in reboots and sequels.

On the subject of Zep, All My Love is a pretty wimpy song, but I think John Paul Jones saves it with that synth solo in the middle.

I wouldn't call it a solo since it's like 3 different keyboard instruments recorded separately, but part 8 still feels like the tightest they ever got as a band—the guitar, drums, bass, electric piano, clavioline, and whatever else all come together perfectly.

Well, even one of the contributors to the article wrote that they weren't into solos and that "showiness was for political positions" which I couldn't roll my eyes any further at.

And probably the first synth solo too—all downhill from there, apparently.

I love the synth solo in Part 6, the one that's then joined by Gilmour's slide guitar. Wright also kills it on live versions of Any Colour You Like.

Runaway would have to be the first synth solo in a mainstream hit ever, I'd imagine. So good, either way.

The Public Pressure live version of The End of Asia by Yellow Magic Orchestra has an epic synth solo: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Your go-to examples of non-guitar solos are guitar solos? At least you picked Ween. I saw them live a few weeks ago and they killed it on A Tear For Eddie, which is basically one long guitar solo (oddly enough the only Ween song my mom loves).
