007 is screened
This one time, at Bond Camp. So, mixed feelings at a preview screening
here in town the other night. You get the usual plants who subsequently post
stuff on the net at these typa things, but hey, what will always be will always
be. Anyways, the overall word I felt was “Craig ain’t no James Bond” and
“it’s no Bond movie by any means.” But it is a relatively okay film, once
finished. My spies tell me (and they’re not just your run of the mill film
goers, these are insiders, my fellow simian pals). “It wants to be the Bourne
Identity.” And “It wants to be a rebellious Bond flick.” and “It wants to be a
12 rated QT film.” And “It wants to be original, but ain’t.” Q and Pierce
were both rejected and kicked in the face. Q wanted to fuck Bond up and
Pierce woulda gone with that. Hell, didn’t Connery recommend Q a fair
while back to the Brocs? Okay, I admit, the trailer looks good. There’s not
enough of the Aston Martin. Bond is a little all over the place, but I’m sure
that was a script problem. A three picture deal or a “let’s see how the first
one goes” scenario? Anybody seen a picture of the toy? Eww.
