OMG, I am so OLD
I'm surfing the "James Bond" tag over on Tumblr, because I want pretty pictures of pretty spies.
And the number of people who are saying that Skyfall was their first Bond movie is quite astonishing. Which means that none of the classic characters (Bond, M, Q, Moneypenny) mean anything to them. They don't know what it means when Bond drives an Austin Martin and carries a Walther PPK. They don't know any of the tropes that make this a great Bond film.
OMG! How young do you have to be to have never seen a Bond movie? (Don't answer that Angela!). All those children.... Going to the movies while they're on school vacation.
I feel impossibly OLD right now.
