The anticipation for #SKYFALL made us all a little bit punchy. Was it the last #Bond_age_ Live Tweet session? Would any of us even survive the epic twatter, anyway? Or would our tweets become warm and fuzzy and comfort us in our hour of triumph?
INITIATE the SKYFALL Live Tweet Digest.
Dang. Is it me or are these final few minutes really dragging? C’mon 9 o’clock EDT. #Skyfall #BondYOLO
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
…great, last *official* live tweet and I forgot the hashtag in the “Initiate Mission” tweet…
It’s #Bond_age_ week #23! IT’S CERTAINLY NOT OUR FIRST TIME. #INITIATE MISSION!
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
…we begin in medias res and the puns and PUMPING start to fly like we’d been here all along…
Too ‘bloody’ late. Get it? #Skyfall
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
@ThatAndyRoss PUMP IT! There might be DNA information!! #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@TimRomines76 It’s the gun with two massive testicle magazines, I bet. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@Mr_Fantastic86 You have a need to dispense 7000 rounds of ammo in 27 seconds? Turkey hunting? #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble hey, I don’t ‘need’ my Russian WW2 battle-rifle, but I like it!
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
Just imagine if this has been an Atari 2600 game? Bond as a grey cube…. #Skyfall

@krissy_myers You’ve never seen me in my tweed, then.
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
@krissy_myers hahaha, I’ve had the same thought. I mean, some of those pants he wears…pretty sure I know what religion he is
— Not Elizabeth Bennet (@SparklySnarkery)
…as Bond destroys Turkey, we destroy the English language…
@cbertone That was so well-played, sir that I forgive the miss spelling of bazaar. #Skyfall

Coca-Cola was sprayed on the streets of Istanbul to keep the motorcycles from slipping. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble Sounds like Constantinople got the works… #Skyfall
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
@007hertzrumble @TRWilcox Would have been awkward if Turkish roof chases in Skyfall, Taken 2 and The International all happened same day.
— Eddie Love (@EddieLove44)
…and Craigers is like I asked you to hold the train, why didn’t you hold the train?…
@007hertzrumble No kidding! That was terrific!
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
I think those bulldozers were made by Caterpillar, but I’m not 100% sure. #Skyfall
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@TimRomines76 Craigers straightens his cuff. Brosnan adjusts his tie. Moore raises a brow. T-Dalt scowls. Connery has sex. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble @TimRomines76 But when T-Dalt scowls, he’s basically having sex with me, right? RIGHT? #Skyfall
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
Nothing like a good old chain fight! …reminds me of my wedding night #BondYOLO #Skyfall

@theactualkeith I hear the James Bond Hide-a-key is a big seller. #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@theactualkeith Dumb but fun. Weird that you need a garage to hold your keys though. #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@krissy_myers I appreciate the later touch where he’s obviously popping some kind of meds. that life’d put some mileage on you
— Not Elizabeth Bennet (@SparklySnarkery)
“meanwhile, at the bat cave, young Dick Grayson…” I just wanted some 60s Batman narrator action… #Skyfall

#skyfall Judy Dench is on her way to get a spanking from the head master.
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
…at last we know the source of Judi Dench’s PUMPING tendencies. That bastard from THE ENGLISH PATIENT is behind it all…
PM is concerned. Too much pulling out, not enough PUMPING. #Skyfall
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
@007hertzrumble And there goes all credibility this project had built. #Skyfall
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@007hertzrumble This is probably true. I withdraw my previous statement.
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
…if only this line had been left into that early HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS script…
#skyfall Judy Dench: ” Go fuck yourself Voldermort. ”

Remember that time we put all the undercover agents on one hard drive and lost it! Oops! #BondYOLO #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
I just realized this. Isn’t all undercover agents on one hard drive a plot point to the first Mission: Impossible? #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
…yes… yes it is…
#skyfall “Mum….this is what happens when you surf for busty broads with crew cuts on your work computer” #We‘veAllBeenThere
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
…cut to Bond, post-coitus, in a Turkish hut… bender in progress…
“Shouldn’t we use protection?” “I’m immune to your third-world diseases. Try me. Give me MALARIA! We’ll see who’s still standing.” #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
I admit that was a lot of effort for a malaria joke. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith It’s a package. Later they’ll go on a zipline and be pecked at by crows. #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
#skyfall the old scorpion and tequila glass thing? In college we use to do it with a pitcher of beer and a hedgehog.
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
…oh hai, Mum… you’ll need to restock the liquor cabinet…
@krissy_myers I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Bond can be kind of a dick. #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
“You didn’t get the postcard? I sent it by Turkish donkey. They’re usually quite reliable.” #Skyfall

Sam Mendes was once in a relationship with Rachel Weisz who is now married to Daniel Craig. AWKWARD! #Skyfall

@NSuszczyk James Bond is THE CROW. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith I volunteer to be his sponsor. #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@krissy_myers @theactualkeith I wonder what M keeps in the cabinet. Did Bond approve? He didn’t make any snide jokes about Bolly. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@theactualkeith @krissy_myers I think she’s got schnapps hidden somewhere. Maybe the underwear drawer. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@007hertzrumble @theactualkeith @krissy_myers You know that was the first place he looked. #Skyfall
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
M: “I don’t get you.” Bond: “Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby!” #BondYOLO #Skyfall
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
…and now, back at the halls of the underground MI-6, Bond looks shaken and stirred…
#skyfall he’s got the shakes…can someone get this man a drink?!
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
@TimRomines76 Nah. He’s aiming too high. To pass the A-Team test you have to aim at their feet. #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
Heart: Target. Bird: Sky. M: PUMPING. #Skyfall

Bond making interior decorating tips, I believe that’s my department #Skyfall #Bond_age_
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
The moment that shocked us all, when Bond developed Never Nude syndrome…. #Skyfall

@Mr_Fantastic86 If you’re talking about self-prostate exams, that doesn’t count. #Skyfall

Got bullet fragments in the shoulder, left them there for a while. Took ’em out when I was bloody ready! #BondYOLO #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
Britain has highly advanced, free healthcare with the NHS, but I’m going to perform my own surgery anyway! #BondYOLO. #Skyfall.
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
Carved a totem pole into my clavicle without local anesthesia. #BondYOLO #Skyfall

So now Bond is an unhappy teenager? #cutting #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
If Fiennes starts quoting Blake, run!! #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
@joelrwilliams1 @callmeveebee Yeah, he’s pretty busy bitching out Voldemort and M right now. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
You know that bulldog’s name is “PUMPER.” #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
…and we meet Q, played by Ben Whishaw… the dude who most recently played Shakespeare’s Richard II on BBC2…
@theactualkeith and he drinks Earl Grey. Nuff’ said. #Skyfall
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@echidnabot @theactualkeith He’s got to get back to his internship at Pitchfork. #Skyfall
— T. R. Wilcox (@TRWilcox)
…and so begins the #Skyfall / #LtK comparisons… they run deep, friends…
Q gives Bond a Walther PPK/S 9mm, most widely known Bond firearm. T-Dalt also used palm-recog technology in #LtK. #Skyfall #Bond_age_
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
An exploding pen? Is he INWINCEABLE!? #Skyfall
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
@theactualkeith You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
— Inigo Montoya (@iaminigomontoya)
…this sidetrack is only a warmup for what would come…
@krissy_myers @007hertzrumble is this one of those bucket list things, like The Bloggess and pics of celebs with twine?
— Not Elizabeth Bennet (@SparklySnarkery)
@krissy_myers @SparklySnarkery Yes. Indeed. We have it down to a science actually.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@SparklySnarkery @007hertzrumble It does. But be careful with that one. It might be dead.
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
…back on task, Bond hitches a ride on the underside of an elevator…
Most inconvenient elevator ride ever #Skyfall
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
#skyfall Shanghai? I thought I was watching Blade Runner…
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
@Mr_Fantastic86 I’m wearing three-day scruff myself. Hail unshaven Craigers. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@Mr_Fantastic86 I feel like neither one of us should comment on such things… #Skyfall #shavingsucks #AlcoholicTendencies
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
@007hertzrumble #Skyfall I remember when the videoblogs of this scene were posted, keep wondering, where the f*ck is that place?!
— Nicolás Suszczyk (@NSuszczyk)
@echidnabot This scene in Shanghai is the moment you realize that Bond has just been taken to an entirely new level. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
Physical wreck. Emotionally damaged. Scruffy beard. Can still kill a highly trained assassin without flinching. Oh yeah. #BondYOLO #Skyfall
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
@krissy_myers Sure its not Windows Media Player Visualizer?

The jellyfish are amazing! #Skyfall

…and now off to Macau to get freshly shorn by Eve…
Shaving. He means business. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
#skyfall the cut out the scene where she shaves down town china town…
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
Eve should have taken advantage of that wayward glance. I hear she’ll never get another opportunity… #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
Yes! Time for some sub-par CG lizards! #Skyfall
— Greg Wisdom (@Mr_Fantastic86)
@krissy_myers Nay… They never were able to and they never will. #Skyfall
— Simon Huet (@simonhuet)
…the winds whispered “#LtK” all evening long…
@NSuszczyk The #LtK comparisons just keep coming. I’m telling you. #LtK and #Skyfall are the same movie.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@ThatAndyRoss I do not joke about #LtK, sir. #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
Well then, how much do you know about PUMPING? – Severine #Skyfall

I don’t remember komodo dragons in the samsonite commercial. #Skyfall
— Kerry Fristoe (@echidnabot)
…I pause to celebrate the return of the very first #Bond_age_ [fan]girl…
The only person to show up for the debut episode of #Bond_age_ (#DrNo) has arrived! So glad you could make it, @jennjaysleafs! #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
If this scene had happened in America, the komodo dragons would have been youthinized and the casino shut down. #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
………….#LtK……………
@krissy_myers Or is it a return to T-Dalt and Robert Davi’s iguanas…. #LtK is #Skyfall
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble)
@krissy_myers I personally think there’s a little Dr. Evil in all of us. #FrikkinLaserBeams
— Tim Romines (@TimRomines76)
…help a brother out….
Anyone ever found a bottle of that Bond cologne from the 60s? I wonder what it smells like. The one from last year was nice. #Skyfall
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss)
#skyfall the bond sex scene dialog is as great as a regular porno…
— Chris Bertone (@cbertone)
@ThatAndyRoss Was that the one with the tagline: “Smells like Bond’s fingers”? #Skyfall
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith)
This shower scene is way hotter than the one in #AVTAK #Skyfall
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
@jennjaysleafs @NSuszczyk What? You totally don’t think he’s a GILF? (Oh, I couldn’t even keep a straight face typing that.) #Skyfall
— Krissy Myers (@krissy_myers)
Sweet. I show up and there is a shower screen. What timing. #Skyfall
— Jennifer (@jennjaysleafs)
Hey, that rhymes. “I like you betta, without your Beretta.” He’s Dr. M’F’ing Seuss Bond. #Skyfall
