Begging for Forgiveness (First Voluntary Post!)
Okay people, I have forgiveness to ask. It's not an easy thing for me to do, considering I'm hardly ever wrong. So...here goes.
In my 3rd assigned blog post, I referred to the new James Bond movie as something I look foward to. I can sucessfully change the word "Look" to "LookED" and after that add the following fragment: "but was extremely and sourly disappointed."
For for the first time in forever, James Bond let me down.
I wanted to like Quantun. I really did. I even dumbed down my expectations after reading harsh critics reviews. But, alas, the critics were right.
If you're going to see it, there's some things you should know. The beginning and ending are JAM PACKED with action. Other than that, the film is just talk talk talk talk talk that never ends. Not even witty dialogue from Casino Royale writer Paul Haggis can stop the dreadfully dull and boring movement. Even the opening title sequence, a surefire hit in Bond movies was a missfire. The song Another Way to Die by Jack White and Alicia Keys is good, but the strange and off kilter graphics just deter from the quality of the movie.
Sorry to the people I'm disappointing, but please don't make the mistake I did. Don't put your eggs in this Bond's basket.
Oh..I'm sorry...did I say Bond?
I meant...Bland...James Bland.

A High Octane November
Car crashes. Explosions. Weaponry. Extreme gadgets. Girls, Girls, Girls. And, oh yeah. That classic theme song. There can only be one franchise that I'm referring to, and if you guessed James Bond, you are nothing but correct. This November's movie season will be revolutionized on Friday when Quantum Of Solace, The 22nd installment of Bond comes out. As we prepare for Friday, here are some reasons why I am excited for James Bond.
1) Daniel Craig
Okay...you got me. At first when I had heard 2 years ago that my beloved Pierce Brosnan was being replaced by a blondie who I had never heard of, Daniel Craig. Yet, I wouldn't give up on my beloved James. When I arrived at Casino Royale, my expectations were blown away. So much so that when I walked out of the theater, I had to ask myself "Pierce who?" Daniel Craig brings a rogue sense of badass to our hero, and makes him a cold yet humorous person whom we admire and want to be like. The anticipation of his return drives me crazy!
2) The Trailer
What more could you ask for? The trailer makes me drool a bit (okay maybe an exaggeration) but all I want after watching it, is MORE. More Bond, more action, more witty dialogue. And that's what the filmmakers want. They know that by giving me this wonderful trailer that I'll buy a ticket. Here it is for those who haven't yet experienced it. (Yes, its an event.)
All I need is two reasons. This Bond film is set to impress me, no doubts about it.
I guess you'll know where to find me this weekend.
By the way, in a completely different area from my last post, the official teaser trailer for The Pink Panther 2 has been released. Please be aware. If you see any people watching it, contact the proper authorities.
