I've been told it was a crummy movie, even by a big Bond fan, but
I have to see it now for that one moment...

Cops/detectives as birders:

This theme brings to mind the recent 007 movie ("Die Another Day") out now.
I recall over the years telling several non-birders that the original James
Bond was a birder, to some disbelief. There is finally a small
acknowledgement of the original Bond (who inspired Ian Fleming's choice of
the James Bond name for the series) in the movie out now. Early on, agent
007 (played by Pierce Brosnan) actually pulls a copy of Bond's Birds of the
West Indies off the shelf, then briefly acts the part of a birder himself
thereafter, binocs in hand. Birders as better detectives or spies
perhaps...
