Double Oh No You Didn't!

I'm not a huge James Bond fan, okay?

Okay, truth is, I love Dr. No... but honestly, isn't every James Bond film after that just a shot by shot remake of Dr. No, but with Maud Adams or Barbara Bach or someone climbing into the passenger seat of the latest, greatest Bond car ever? I get that that's the point, and the joke... but there is such a thing as taking a joke too far... and every movie after Dr. No? That was just another step too far, you axe me. I mean, Roger Moore? Come on, now.

That being said, I have to point out that the new trailer for the expected to disappoint Bond flick, Casino Royale, has been released. After seeing it, many are turning around, saying this really might be one of the best Bond films yet. Those saying that are actually chimps who are grateful to see another lower primate in such a well-dressed role. It looks more like a Bond rip-off made to showcase how ClubMed vacations make you feel like a secret agent. The only part that I like is how, when Bond becomes a "double-0," the film goes from black & white to color, implying a license to kill is kind of like going from Kansas to Oz. I bet it is, too. Both involve dropping houses on midgets, you know.

And what's up with Le Chiffre's eye bleeding during the card game? That's probably one of the worst tells in poker in history. If someone's eye stars spontaneously bleeding at the card table, you always want to fold. I don't care how good your hand is, if it's not making your eye bleed, the guy whose eye is bleeding probably has the better hand.
