terryclothWell, I went to see the movie. I was already dozing off through the credits, which is never a good sign. During the movie I was mostly okay during the action sequences, but whenever Moneypenny started talking I'd drift off into vague re-enactment of the book I'd been up early reading. Tonight, on mind's eye theater, Moneypenny is Honor Harrington!
Anyway, I fell asleep during the middle of the movie, but I can't really blame that on being tired, since I've fallen asleep during the middle of every Bond movie ever made. Unless there are some I haven't seen yet.
The theater was also very, very cold. I mean, I was shivering even with my coat on.
Highlights of the movie:
Prognosis: Yep. It's a Bond movie.

Highlights of the movie:
- Bond is finally foiled by someone with a web-enabled cell phone who looks him up on the IMDB, then gets tortured with scorpions and electricity all through the opening credits. Yay!
- Apparently, large swords are the weapon of choice of the modern spy. They aren't as clumsy or random as a pistol.
- Entire building is made out of ice. Despite this, super-spy-woman is somehow trapped in a room when the (half-inch thick) doors lock.
- Giant death ray is capable of destroying a hardened concrete bunker, but only damages an airplane. Maybe the piles of generic explosive barrels helped.
- In Bond's world, DeBeers does not exist, and it's illegal to sell diamonds mined with the blood of innocents.
- Every beautiful woman is surprisingly revealed as a spy. One of them does it twice.
Prognosis: Yep. It's a Bond movie.
