So I saw the movie today (cuz I'm a G

), and I must say, it's pretty damn good. However, there are three things that bugged with this movie. And just so you know, I loved Casino Royale.

Too much action, not enough story. I never thought as an action loving man that I might say this, but it's true. Bond's character is decidedly monochromatic during the entire movie apart from the last 5 minutes. I was aching for some sort of quip or sign of vast intelligence that only a Bond could possess.
Not enough sex. Bond's a spy first and a player second. But this movie undermines his ability to captivate women, but I guess it did fit the storyline.
He's not slick at all. It made for some great scenes, but Bond isn't slick at all. He's always knee deep in ****.

The movie is badass and I suggest it to everyone. There's some intense moments and hilarious deaths. But most of all, Daniel Craig makes Jason Bourne look like a child with a water pistol.

you made me want to see this movie even more. That poker scene in casino royale lasted way too long. Less story more action is what I want cause the action in casino royale was stunning.

Just remember he'll never escape his shadow:

Well, no. He's still intelligent and able to form a sentence. He's just much more brutal. Actually, the thing that fascinates me about this movie is the wide range of possibilities for the next movie in the series. There's so much potential.

As I've stated for awhile, this was the third film I've been anticipating this year. Just a few more days and the wait is over. But now I'm curious as to what the wide range of possibilities is.

Regardless, without having seen the movie, I will make a couple of points.

It's been said that with the writer's strike, that affected why there is very little story in this Bond movie. It's also a short film which again lends credence to the fact that the writer's strike may have hurt it with it's rush to get developed. Hopefully that problem will be correct for the future Bond films.

Also, the producers have been saying for awhile that there wouldn't be much bedroom action for Bond because of the circumstances of the last movie.

I see. Well I guess there's a good reason for all of my points.

It's a good movie though. I happen to think Casino Royale is better just for the effect it had on turning the Bond series on it's head, but this is by no means a bad movie.

What were the circumstances of the last movie?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #7 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:00:17 AM »

Lots of flesh flapping.

Stogi · « **Reply #8 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:10:06 AM »

You should just watch Casino Royale. It's fucking great.

Bond is betrayed by the love of his life, Vesper. She was plotting to steal his winnings from the poker game in order to save her long time boyfriend from blackmailers and release him from captivity. Bond found out and ran after her. He looked out on her as she started the transaction with her blackmailers but soon gets made. As all hell breaks loose, Vesper becomes trapped in a watery tome. There was a possibility of her being rescued, but she chose to die in order to spare Bond the agony of deceit. Bond still manages to bring her to the surface, but soon realizes he is too late.

And now, in this movie, Bond is a cold, heartless killer looking for one thing; Revenge.

Oh and by the way, the main "hot" chick, Olga Kurylenko, is stunning.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #9 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:14:57 AM »

No one could be more stunning than Vesper. Her beauty could end a thousand years of darkness.

Stogi · « **Reply #10 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:18:57 AM »

I'm sorry, but there is no comparison. Olga is wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hotter. They're both gorgeous though.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #11 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:21:01 AM »

I'm not saying this to be funny but her head looks photoshopped on

Stogi · « **Reply #12 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:25:44 AM »

Ok.............

Just watch the movie. You'll see the error in your ways.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #13 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:28:08 AM »

Fun tip: Olga is naked in the "Hitman" movie.

I tried selling Hitman to GameStop today, but they terminated their DVD trade-ins some time ago.
I need to find this awful movie a new home.

Stogi · « **Reply #14 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:34:06 AM »

LOL

I like how "Hitman" knocks her out as he's about to get laid. Actually, that pissed me off. No "Hitman" would ever do that................unless he were.......gay!

I'm not sure if she's the one i heard about but... some new chick in this Bond movie was born with an extra finger! I saw it on some promo for the movie where they interviewed her.. or maybe i read it.. **** i cant remember but yeah, she was born with some sort of "deformity" thats will never change her hotness.

Stogi · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:30:57 AM »

Ya, it was another chick, not Olga. Her name in the movie is Ms. Fields and she was born with six fingers on both hands. They dealt with them right out of the womb.

She's also gorgeous btw.

EasyCure · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:32:28 AM »

Ok so she's the one. I remember seeing a picture of her and yes, stunningly beautiful. So far these "Bond Babes" are hotter than any of the ones in the past.

Man i could go for some Smirnoff right now.

Stogi · « **Reply #18 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:41:44 AM »

I could too....

I wish it was Thursday.

EasyCure · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:04:20 PM »

Why thursday? I'll probably open up some smirnoff when i get off work.

Stogi · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:25:15 PM »

Unlike your alcoholic ass, I like to drink with other people.

Then again, there is a new SouthPark on tonight......and I usual watch it with all my buddies.

EasyCure · « **Reply #21 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:34:18 PM »

I never said i would drink alone, i just said i have some at home. You never know when a party will break out, so i keep the smirnoff handy... plus with smirnoff handy you never know when a party will break out!

Stogi · « **Reply #22 on:** November 12, 2008, 02:46:43 PM »

True. Bitches looooooooove da vodka.

Couple weekends back I met some Serbian girls and they showed me how to really drink vodka; you chase it with pickles. It was disturbing, but pretty damn tasty (I'm a fan of pickles). I've never been one to chase a shot with food (unless it's a lime/lemon/orange); the chewing aspect always bothered me; but I must say, it wasn't bad -- disturbing, yes, but not bad.

Matter of fact, that whole night was disturbing.... I vowed to never hangout with Serbians again.

EasyCure · « **Reply #23 on:** November 12, 2008, 03:16:35 PM »

Sounds interesting... i'll have to try that. I'm a fan of pickles (eating the literal, hiding the non-literal).

Oh and to correct your first statement, and make it a lil more PC, it should read:

Ladies looooooooove da vodka... and anything else that goes in a Long Island Iced Tea.

Well your in for a surprise. That's how narley eastern Europeans drink their vodka. You know....the type of people that drink vodka on family game shows. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[pimp voice] And I only call them bitches cuz I don't know they're names individually. Holla if you hear me. [/pimp voice]

EDIT: I just found out this Olga chick was in Max Payne as well. It looks like she plays a hooker. No surprise there.
