Watched the new Bond film at the weekend. Was an alright action film but as Bond films go it was rubbish - I liked the established formula. Theme also wasn't very bond - not a bad song just not a bondy song. I get the feeling I wuoldn;t enjoy the books if they are all like that. Goes on forever as well (in fact I'm probably still there watching them drag out the storyline beyond any possible entertainment) and the one good thing I thought they'd do they ruin in the final scene.

Main faults/things I didn't like

* Daniel Criag does far too much acting
* I must have missed the point when they explained why they are playing him at cards and why they don't just take him and hold him til he tells them what they want (either MI6 or the CIA)
* The whole thing with the bond girl
* the guy from Da Vinci code explaining everything that happened in the previous 5 minutes every 5 minutes for the middle of the film
* The shower scene
* Too long

Things that were good

* Judy Dench - The lone saving grace of the film.

Hopefully Happy Feet will be better - won't be going to see any more of the current bond's adventures though.

Didn't enjoy Furry either on Friday. Was like how I imagine Hell must have been during the early Thatcher years. That period of time was bad enough the first time around - don't need to go through it again.

Christmas dinner this Friday - should be enjoyable as long as I don't drink too much wine (as has been known to happen)
