Oddly disappointing as bond movies go in that there's no storyline at all,
just action. But if I wanted hardcore action there are any number of
actors whose movies I could go watch.. Bond was gadgets, humor and an
enjoyably cheezy storyline for quite a long time.
Now, well.. at least it is good to see Bond going back to basics, just
pistols and assault rifles. And a bit of a jar seeing a blond actor as
Bond for the first time (missed out on Casino Royale) - though Craig is
much closer to Ian Fleming's idea of Bond - a touch of latent cruelty,
chain smoker, hard drinker .. though Fleming's Bond was never this
physical, he was human, not a superman.

ps: Anybody want a US prepaid simcard (att gophone)? It has $35 balance on
it but that expires nov 11, the sim itself remains valid for another
several months. Reloading balance onto it (can be done online) extends the
value of the sim, and carries forward the $35 as well. It is a hackensack
NJ number (201 area code) if that matters. Traded for one online on
flyertalk.com, got two instead. Need only one, so .. [its free, just buy
me dinner or something when we next meet, eh?]
