So the new James Bond movie is a huge deal here in the UK - I don't know if that's just us. Everywhere I turn I'm confronted with James Bond.
I just saw the movie, and I have a lot to argue about! The short version is that I thought it was pretty good - had some amazing moments and surprisingly deep and complex themes, but SO many appalling bits. Jesus Christ some of those lines and scenes.
Did anyone else see it? What did you think?

It's a pretty big deal over here in the States, but probably not AS big as it is in England. I've heard people claiming Skyfall is the best Bond film in a long time, but I'm reserving judgment. As long as it's better than Quantum of Solace, I'll be happy! Man, I didn't like that one.
Still gotta see Cloud Atlas, so Skyfoo will have to wait just a bit, though. xD

Best Bond ever? Not a chance. It is a good one! Very good even. I just think that it really doesn't understand two things, and those things are 1) What made Casino Royale great and 2) How computers work. The latter is the subject of a fairly massive plot hole too. Loved the villain though. All the main characters, actually. Great relationships and themes. Just beautiful in places.

Is it out already? I was sure it was November.
And I've seen all the Bonds once. That and purchasing the key song will probably be the extent of my interest. I think Casino Royale is the only one I've seen twice.

Casino Royale was pretty badass. And it had the best song.

Poets of the Fall did a pretty good cover of it a few years ago. =D

Why don't more people know these guys exist?
This band is a great example of old school laid back rock and roll.
