My weekend...

I couldn't resist posting the pic (yowza!) as I went and saw the new Bond movie last night. So I'm jumping on the large bandwagon of people who recommend it.

Like most women, I've never much been interested in Bond. The cars and gadgets don't do it for me, and he treats women like dirt (which is OK because the women are always evil anyway.) He's a character purely aimed at men, which is why this is so refreshing, because they finally decided to invite the other half of the population to come see the movie.

They also decided to dig deeper into the character, strip away a lot of the useless crap, and make him interesting. Without giving anything away, in this movie Bond a) has flaws, b) makes mistakes, c) figures shit out the hard way, d) gets deceived more than once. He's also brilliant, cold, lonely, and (despite that yummy body) physically frightening. Sure, he looks nice in a jacket, but he can kill a guy with his bare hands - something we actually see him do. So, an interesting mix for a character. Kudos to the writers.

Oh, and the directing rocked - especially the action scenes.

Go see it. You'll like it.
