dagronrat*Stares.* I've got slots for up to 110 LJ Icons, wow. O_o And only have 68 of them in use so far. Whee. /end random.
Anyway, watched "Casino Royale" last night with flatmate.
(BTW: Sorry for not squeeing at you June during the process, but Laptop was just being silly last night. Am running a virus and adware scan now. >_>; Will have to squee at you here! ♥)
As I said in FS's post, I got the DVD for 7£ on the day it came out, which is a good price, especially since there's also a special features DVD with it. I suspect it was a one-day only discount though.
But back to the movie!
Was GOOD and FUN and...
Well, let me try to do this in order.
LOTS of impressive stunts at the start. Scarface dude was like a gazelle/monkey, jumping all over the place. Bond's imitation of the stunts had me wincing for every bruise I could imagine acquired...
And boy does he run a lot! O_o He should run a marathon and win!
Also? M is made of RULE and WIN and AWESOME. ♥
And Bond is a heartless *** who keeps mounting the bodies. But da*g does he do it in style.
The airport stunt? Very very impressive.
And the dead bodies playing poker? Just wow and creepy and huh? Why, what an appropriate place to leave a dead suspect! XcD;
The poor girls though. Somehow my hunch that any girl romantically (be it just for a night) involved with Bond ends up dead wasn't wrong. *sighs*
And Vesper! Vesper! Ah the awesome of Vesper and LeChiffre~!
Vesper Lynd is full of snark and wit and omg!betrayalItCan'tBe!surprise! LeChiffre is such a b*$²@*d, and one in trouble which makes him so... I dunno. Special?
What I really loved though was how Bond was prepared to give up his double O status. How passionate and hurt he was by Vesper's demise. How desperate he seemed to save her (note that she was desperate to save him) and how in the end he felt so betrayed he couldn't feel he could trust anyone any more.
But of course the beautiful final note of the movie? Bond morphing into a smart, suave and deadly double O agent, confronting the master mind behind Vesper's death with a calm and cold
And I haven't even seen any of the other Bond movies!
Thanks for the awesome. ♥
Oh, and before I forget?

I found the new Bond (Graig) extremely convincing, despite everybody says about him (not being as elegant as other Bonds etc.) He managed to appear really decisive and quick-minded as an agent is supposed to be. All the actors in the movie were great. And I had to stare at the running Scarface at the beginning, too. XD
The other Bond movies are not worth watching. Roger Moore was a funny Bond, just as Timothy Dalton. Sean Connery is extremely elegant, although his Bond girls were stupid and annoying. Pierce Brosnan was a pretty stiff and boring (and at times ridiculous) Bond, although his Bond girls were better than the others. But non of the other Bond movies couldn't rival Casino Royale, at least not when it comes to plot development, actors and atmosphere.

Date: 2007-03-31 11:49 pm (UTC)Oh wait. I know. That's the same reason I'm up so late! :glomps:
Humm sarcastic you say? I definitely need to look him up. :D Thankees!

Ooouh yeay, encounter! *__*
