You know what was one of my favorite YB moments?
"Do I look like I give a damn?"
CR and the art of Yeah, Babying Bond

Indeed.
I also found the reveal of Bond driving the Mondeo to be a pretty amusing moment. Just for the sake of breaking tradition, I call it a YB. Btw, did anyone else feel like it was a little bit of a throwaway to the similar moment in the previous film, where the camera starts out in a similar place to reveal Bond in the uber-stylish Ford Fairlane?

Thinking of Valenka...Her off-screen death contributed, for me, to a Yeah. Baby moment. A little more than eye candy, she'd been fleshed out just enough in that tender moment on the balcony with Le Chifre, then her terror when it sure as hell seems that her arm is a goner--so her off-camera death seemed exceptionally cruel. And also effective. We're used to our Bond baddies going down dramatically. But Le Chifre goes down like a dirt bag and Valenka's death's too trivial for a frame of film. I was left thinking, Lord, what is James Bond up against?
