meganbmooreFinally got to watch it. Like quite afew on my flist, I liked it because it WASN'T a Bond movie. Now, I grew up on Bond, and would likely continue seeing regular Bond movies in the theaters with my parents for all eternity just because, you know, family thing, but this type of Bond movie I might actually watch on my own. I've always thought Bourne Identity (and sequels) was essentially what Bond SHOULD be like without all the flash and glitter, and it seems I was right(and, according to my father, this is the Bond from the original books, which is a plus)
Anyway, great movie, and nice to see Bond actually in a relationship(and one that's a relationship before sex enters into the picture) as opposed to just random and frequent sexual encounters with loveydoveys with whatever chick happens to still be alive at the end of the movie. I have'nt quite decided if it's entering my collection yet, but probably.
Also started volume 2 of Prince Valiant and am enjoying it as much as volume 1 so far. It's not something I'll likely ever meta or obsess over, but I like and admire it quite a bit. it holds up very well(not as well as Gargoyles, but nothing's perfect) and manages to actually have an original and interesting take on Arthurian myth.
And...I saw Robin of Sherwood(80s version) at Hastings. But couldn't get it cuz of stupid payroll. I must have it. I must I must I must. Now if they'd just put the Richard Todd version on DVD, all my Robin Hood needs would be met.
