Just saw the new James Bond, mini review and a rant.

[nO-One]

sheesh, mindless fun would be all that movie was.

A big part of the movie was shot here in Iceland so of course they hyped it to hell around these parts.....I don\'t understand why...it\'s incredible how wrong the movie is about a lot of things.

Diamond mine here, the soil is much to young for diamonds to appear, and saying there were penguins here.....they live in the south not the north. And having been to the place it was shot many  times it was wierd because they were on a lake and then drove a straight line and were all the sudden on the glacier....it takes a little more than that to get on the glacier....but enough of that rambling.

The gene plastic surgery thing....wha???

And am I the only one who finds his womanizing the get a bit tedious after about...20 movies, I\'m just waiting for the day that he gives the babe an STD

Bond babe: ummm James, you know uhh I think you should wear some protection or something next time....eegh.
Bond: umm yeah...sorry...the itching and the swelling should go within a couple of days......I uhh..have some cream that helps until then.

minor spoiler ahead!!!
Why did the bad guy choose the name Icarus for his doomsday device....I mean he was Korean not Greek...shouldn\'t he have called it The Wong Cha or something.
[/end spoiler]

Anyhoo, it wasn\'t all bad. It\'s a Bond flick so impossible things are to be expected. It had some good things like.....things exploding. And even better things....bigger things exploding.

So there you have it, impossible things in it, but things explode.

Well, I can answer some of that.

Icarus: He wouldn\'t choose a Korean name.  No one was supposed to know he was Korean, people were supposed to think he was from some western nation.  Thus the Greek name.

Diamond Mine: The mine was fake.  That\'s how it was able to be there.  Besides, I\'m sure if someone did something like that, the people claiming it would be impossible would be well outnumbered by those envying him, and saying it\'s amazing.

Womanizing: No, it never gets old

[nO-One]

Well if he was a proud Korean he would have called it the Icarus only in public....well one would think.

Yes the mine was fake, but people around the world belived it. There are plenty of people that would relise that a diamond mine here in Iceland would be pretty impossible. I mean the British intelligence knew nothing but that he found Diamonds there....they should atleast have figured it out.

But hey....things exploded that\'s all I really need from a movie.

Womanizing is one thing... and it\'s ok when it\'s a little bit plausible.  HOWEVER, what\'s with Halle Berry wanting to get into his pants within 2 minutes of meeting him?  I mean, sure he\'s suave and all, but a sexy chick like Halle would make you work for it no matter how good looking you were.  Don\'t forget this was right after he escaped prison where his only partner for the last year was his hand.  It just gets rather absurd after a while.

I\'d like to see Bond get kicked in the nuts by the next girl he tries to pick up that way.  Of course they\'d probably reveal later in the movie that the woman was an international terrorist lesbian...  But wait a minute, I thought Bond was so hot that he could even get militant lesbians into bed...  Oh how I would like to see a reality check in these movies.

It\'s fantasy and it plays on what most men wish could happen.  Hottest woman in the crowd that all men want, if you could just walk up to her and three lines later you\'re in bed together, that would fulfill all of their dreams, not to mention narrowly escaping... everything and just being suave and cocky as hell about it.

It\'s a Bond movie, these same mistakes you all have problems with are ones he\'s faced since Dr. No so it\'s hardly anything new here.  

/me wants his Aston Martin

[Kurt Angle]

Bond is cool.

Spam isn\'t.

is it bond\'s fault that he\'s surrounded by sluts that drool over his british accent?  i think not.
come on, bond movies are mindless fun, not meant to be realistic in anyway ( car that dissappears, right )

and dont get me started on halle barry, i\'m still pissed she shagged billy bob thorton in monsters ball ( slick shudders at the thought ), but like in the bond movie, she is also quite slutty in monsters ball, hmmmmm....new trend for halle barry.

Women,  guns and fast cars. Dont forget the Tux must be wrinkle free with a fresh carnation.(after swimming under water in a wet suit) and the drink must be shaken not stirred.

If you did not have to kill people who would not want to live like that. He is the only guy that can throw 2 million dollars at the bad guy knocking him in to a shark in the water.

Lot of guys would gladly trade thier daliy grind for some of that.

i though i did ok in Iceland

your just bitter that i didn\'t hop into bed with you on that Ice palace .

[nO-One]

Look, my icehouse may not be a palace but it is still very cozy and nice.

Die Another Day was great - in that Bondesqe kind of way. Explosions, fast cars (and fast women). What else do ya want?

BTW, I\'d kill to get the Aston Martin he drives... It\'s amazingly cool. I wouldn\'t mind shagging the two babes either.

The only thing that bothered me a bit was the Korean bad guy\'s makeover... the actor looked quite annoying. Oh well, it\'s a Bond movie and it kicks ass as usual.
