FLAV-A-FLAAAAAAAAV
Yeah, Flav-a-flav is on Conan, but that is not what I bring to the table.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS AMAZING. I don't even know his name, but the new Bond kicks ass. The movie was strangely... TOO plausible for a Bond movie, but that didn't make it any less awesome. The writers get most of my props. Honestly, it didn't feel much like a Bond movie, but it just KICKED SO MUCH ASS.
The first...er...half...of the movie kind of felt removed from the real plot, just an excuse for some Parkour-esque chase/fight scenes (meh).
The plot moved well, was enjoyably predictable (at least by me-- am I the only one who sees these things? Honestly, I was like 5 for 5 and I was going to kill myself for missing the "Bond, James Bond," line). The writers? Dude. AMAZING. I applaud you. For the "shaken, not stirred," set up, the torture set up, the Japanese poker player's name, Bond's transition into becoming a double-o (MINUS WRITING IN 9/11-- NOT NECESSARY), the Cold War line, the total pwnage of the CIA, etcetera.
Lessee... no Q, very disappointed. Domer pointed out it was probably since he was just getting into being a double-o, except that Q (for quartermain! I KNOW now!) is totally older than him anyway.
And John Cleese kicks ass, and would have made for a much more Bond-esque plot.
Er...what else? Damn, it was just so good. OH... the ending plot was kind of strange, but still good.
Oh, and Bond, for not noticing the basics of being a spy (yeah, I know, new to the double-o, but...) and DUH. THE GUY WAS TRYING ON GLASSES. MIRROR. (See? These are the things I think of. All that spy/detective stuff when I was little... and it's the reason I'm paranoid now.)
w00000000t.
OK, one thing that pissed me off? Vesper's name. I dunno what Johnny thought, but Domer and I definitely heard VESPA. So I'm thinking, what the hell did Bond put for his password? Vespa's five letters. (Also, I'm pretty sure he didn't press the right keys. See? All in the details. Me= spy to the max.) So yeah, takes until the almost-end to find out it's fucking VESPER. BLAAAARGH.
But still! So, so, SO recommended. A million gazillion times. I guess it was taken from a book (?) so bonus points for transitioning it so well.
And I LOVE long movies. I really did not mind it being almost three hours, I think it allows you to tell a better story. Just... yeah, could have done with out the Parkour. And the mongoose fight, LOL.
Also, I don't know what's with me but I guess I'm just very removed from the whole relationship scene. I just... I'm lonely, but it's just to hang out with my friends. We talked about the Kiss Game and how many people are now involved (and concluded it's probably Weston and I are the only ones who aren't) [BTW the game is the one wherein people are related by kisses through who've they'd kissed. So, like, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with Kisses and Band Kids. LOL.] SO ANYWAY. I TOTALLY laughed through the whole movie... I mean, there were tons of GREAT lines, but also, I've just never been one for romance stuff, or torture stuff, or the serious stuff. (James Bond?! Be SERIOUS?! WHAT!) Yeah, I LAUGHED. I giggled incessantly.
Anyway, that movie will be on my shelf when it comes out. I wiiiiiiiiiiiiin. James Bond is so much wiiiiiiiin. (But not more than Indiana Jones, EVER.) YAAAAY! (OH, and I totally didn't even realize that when I planned to come see a movie, Casino Royale (RoyAL, not ROYal! Arrrgh) was coming out TODAY. Still gotta see the new Will Ferrell movie Stranger than Fiction... and The Prestige... yeah. SO MANY MOVIES, SO LITTLE TIME. AND SO MUCH JAMES BOND = AWESOME.)
And can I say white suspenders are just awesome? Yes. Bowties plus suspenders. ow OW. =P
OOOOH, and whoever did the title song... NICE. Vectors plus fractals FOR THE WIN! Plus severe lack of nude women. I can deal with that. Apparently Bond wasn't into his mysogynist phase yet. (Just kidding. =^n.n^=)
Aaaaanyway. Gonna go look at other Bond stuff.
Must... watch...Casino Royale...
[EDIT] Read the wiki. I did not know that there were other actual PLOT movies in the series (and one I've seen, too?!). So. This one rocks my socks, and I also laud them for NO CGI. DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT. NO. C. G. I.
However, the not bringing back Q and Moneypenny? Mmm... yeah, they better be back next time. (And doesn't James Bond ALWAYS return? Honestly...)
