BOND.... JAMES BOND
OLGA, THE NEWEST RUSSIAN BOND GIRL...
MEDIA:
We saw the new "Bond" film the other day, Quantum of Solace.
It's a good action adventure film. It's not, however a James Bond movie.
Of course to us, Sean Connery is the only 007. But we don't mind actors playing him. This new one is not among our favorites but he'll do.
However! As others have said, this particular film just doesn't have enuff of the elements to qualify as a Bond Film. It is the sequel to the previous film, which did.
I has a proper opening and song, and a girl with a clever name, Strawberry Fields, altho you have to read the credits to know that, and a villain bent on world-wide domination of some sort. He does give his shaken martini order. There area chases and car chases and boat chases, but those are not restricted to Bond Films But that's about all...
Where's the Theme music? Only a hint of the first four base notes--you have to wait until the credits. Does he say Bond, James Bond? Where, oh where are the GADGETS?? He doesn't get the main Bond girl in the end. Where is the witty repertoire, the sexual innuendo--no much.
Where is Q? Where is Moneypenny?
Maybe you can think of some of the other things that were missing?
Don't get me wrong, It's a great film, it's just not what you would expect from this franchise...
And, this Bond is a little bloodthirsty if you ask me...
GATORS:
What the hell happened to Texas Tech last night--We fell asleep with five minutes to go. What was the final score 140 to 14???
Our original prediction for the BCS championship game was the Gators vs. Oklahoma. After watching them last night, I hope not. I hope not.
Now, how far up will the Sooners rise in the polls? Will they leapfrog the Gators? We'll see...
BTW, The Gators starters hit the showers yesterday starting in the late second quarter...Reserves and walk ons and fans and cheerleaders finished the game...
