Apparently you must have seen a James Bond film once in your life.
So off to the DVD library it was to pick up Casino Royal following a survey amongst my friends on which one Bond film I had to see if any. To those of you who listed five - not helpful and let's face it, not going to happen.
After what I initially believed to be my first ever Bond scene I had a distinct feeling of deja vu. I had tried this before. Only last time I fell asleep five minutes in and woke up when then-boyfriend tried to carry (roll, drag, whatever) me up the stairs and the movie was finished. After sitting through the entire thing, I understand why I struggled to stay awake at the first try. Bond is dull.
OK, it's not all bad. Daniel Craig in trunks getting out of the water - I can get onboard with that. I adore Judi Dench and one of the Bond girls was Swedish, I can totally relate to her (Totally. We're basically the same person).
However, not even if mr. Craig had worn nothing but trunks throughout and I had done a shot every time Mads Mikaelsen turned up had that been worth my time.
It needs to be noted that I was bored half to death in spite of downing a bottle of champagne during the first half of the film. And speaking of champagne - what is the deal with Bond drinking Bollinger?I support anyone drinking Bollinger 99% of the time, but surely he does martinis? No?
To sum it up; that was 2 hours of my time that I am never getting back and I will not revisit the 007 shelf at the DVD library.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to spend the rest of my time at the airport googling 'Daniel + Craig + Trunks + Water'.
