If you haven't seen Casino Royale, DON'T
Mar. 31st, 2007 06:45 pmMy eye is driving me crazy. It's like bloodshot red right now, and I can't wear a contact in it again. Which makes me sad because I just picked up a new set of my pretty violets again. I've been wearing brown for several months. I miss my freaky purple. Ah well at least I have one violet eye again.
I saw Casino Royale. All you people who said this was a good movie depress me. This was the complete antithesis of a good movie. It had no plot. The main villain throughout was a stockbroker who funded terrorism and cried blood. Can't forget that. I didn't think anything could ever top "The World is Not Enough" and its media mogul villain, but oh I was so wrong. James Bond was so apart from himself that to maintain any semblance of my sanity, I had to convince myself I was just watching some other spy movie. A bad one. They abused the stair fight idea. The girl, who had some potential to her because of her initial personality, was quickly destroyed. The romance was so drawn-out and disgusting. Even the naked torture couldn't bring me back. I kept asking myself if Bond was being such a rogue agent, why MI6 didn't just cap his ass. They didn't have a Q. They didn't even play the Bond music. The only amusement I got from the movie at all was Felix and only because he made me have Dr. No nostalgia. I understand the makers want to reinvent Bond, but if they wanted to do it to this extent, they should have just picked a new character and made a new movie. I won't even go into the incongruities of the whole "this is supposed to be young Bond" when 9/11 has happened, all the technology is modern and every other dumbass issue the writers were too stupid to take into account. I tried telling myself it was AU in hopes that this would soothe my soul, but to no avail. THIS WAS A BAD MOVIE! Not just a bad Bond movie. A BAD MOVIE!
I had some great things to write today about the nature of writing and how I got into it because a conversation at a dinner I attended today brought the topic to mind, but now I'm just pissed.
And I'm not tainting Geass by putting my speculations on the final episodes and what will happen to Lelouch in this post.
Fuck you, Casino Royale. You stole three hours of my time. I could have spent them staring at the wall.
And now my idiot father wants to drag me over my relatives, even though I told him in no uncertain terms, I don't feel like hanging out with the family. I love how he is so kind as to ask for my opinion before he happily consents to go see those people.
