Threw on the EWS resto. Best it’s ever looked, rich and vibrant and sporting a healthy layer of film grain. Will save a full rewatch until I have the disc, but I do like that they subtitled Leelee’s silent line:

R.I.P. Lee Tamahori. Die Another Day receives a ton of shit but I’ve come to embrace it as the perfect pendulum swing into glorious, highly entertaining excess that celebrates Bond’s four decades of success. If nothing else it is never dull; Tamahori nailed the assignment.

Not typically a hat guy but I couldn’t resist getting the official Godzilla JXSDF cap, as seen in the Millennium Era. Very thrilled to find it fits comfortably on my freakish head size.
