Roger Ebert can kiss me in the Quantum of Solass
So, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun times (and my pick for deluded submoronic tit of the decade) has decided that the new Bond flick A Quantum of Solace was not quite the best Bond film ever. Actually in his review he lambastes the film by saying that they should "(n)ever let this happen again to James Bond." Stating that Bond is "not an action hero! He is too good for that, "
He goes on to say that the opening chase scene "has no connection to the rest of plot, which is routine for Bond, but it's about the movie's last bow to tradition." BULLSHIT!!! The chase scene took place maybe 10 minutes after the end of Casino Royale and brought us smack dab back into the pre-existing plot without giving the audience any time to think or re-evaluate. It didn't treat us like children with a 5 minute attention span and took for granted that most of the people watching this movie have seen Casino Royale and have been waiting with a dry martini and a hard on for this movie to come out. Even if you havent seen Casino Royale the chase scene is classic Brocolli storytelling and in the tradition of the formula that set a new standard for action adventure flicks since the 1960's YOU FAT FUCK!
Broccoli, the man who brought Bond to the silver screen practically INVENTED the action movie genre and formula with Dr. No. Bond IS an action hero. Is Ebert saying that moviegoers don't want or deserve a more mature and interesting Bond. I am as much of a purist as anyone and I own and love all the Bond movies. Hell, I grew up with them. But that by no means precludes me from being very excited about the new direction of the franchise. Now that the camp and "comic opera buffoon(ary)" can be left to the likes of Mike Meyer's Austin Powers, we as moviegoers can enjoy the Bond that Flemming envisioned. The Bond that was born of Flemming's own experiences as a spy during WWII.
I don't really know if this deep dish swilling, stomach stapling, tasteless HACK has ever read any of Ian Flemming's original works, but a 00's main occupation IS violence. A license to kill would be wasted on someone who thinks killing is "an annoyance." That aside, Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan's Bond were extremely violent, but the action was often cartoonish and at times down right campy. From Odd Job's guillotine hat in Goldfinger to Moore's several run ins with the villain Jaws, violence was commonplace in all Bond movies but it never had the visceral physicality and engaging element that Craig's Bond brings so electrically to the screen. The chase scene in the beginning of Casino Royale was perhaps one of the best peices of action movie magic I have seen since Indiana Jones ran from that giant boulder.
In A Quantum of Solace, Craig portrays a bond with depth and dimension. He is a trained killer dealing with the death and possible betrayal by his one true love in the only way he knows how. By leaving a trail of bodies that will ultimately lead him to revenge and more importantly ANSWERS! For pity's sake, this is the first time we have seen a Bond that respects a woman enough NOT to sleep with her. Shit I get pre-ejaculatory THINKING about Olga Kyrilenko.
Ebert, you are a jackass. A jackass that is moored so deeply in what has been that he can't seem to get excited about what can be. You decide to base your review on the title of the film, the fact that Daniel Craig (whom he does like) doesn't say much and that he drinks a beer. I would like to see how that Bolivian bartender would have reacted when Bond accused him of not making a dry enough martini. Fuck off you twat. The day you seduce a hot redhead with promises of hotel stationary is the day I'll suck your limp dick. Not swave enough my lilly ass. So he is not as pithy as Moore or as forthcoming with the sexual double ententes as Brosnan and Connery, so what. I would rather have a Bond that makes me understand why he uses his charm and that it serves more than his cavalier whim. He saves his jibes for times when it serves him. Like making a theater full of villains show themselves with a well placed bit of sarcasm. I love the old Bond, but I also love the new. But, that kind of opinion is only expressed by people with open minds. Go open yours up with a fire axe Ebert.

Are you fucking serious! "Is that a box?"
So, I thought this would only happen in video gameland. A man hid in a cardboard box and escaped from jail.
all I can think of is Otacon saying, "WATCH OUT SNAKE IT'S A TRAP!!!"
So what we need now is another...
fighting game that is turning into a movie. Didn't we learn anything with Dead or Alive or Street Fighter, or the second Mortal Kombat. (The first one was ok) Now prepare for...
TEKKEN!
Yes people Tekken. Brought to you by the director of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and one of the writers that penned Face/Off and Lara Croft: The Tomb Raider. The other writer brought you such classics as the MARINE, Wrong Turn 1-3 (I did not know there was a 2 or 3), Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.
Oh, I can hear the toilet flushing now.
The only good thing I think can be a somewhat redeeming factor would be Shang-Tsung playing Heihachi Mishima. *shakes head*
Dragonball movie pics...
Check it out 4 pics from the dragonball movie... I don't understand them...
I think this should be the next KWA masterpiece after Shima-Uta.
Political Views aside... Could a Nerd have been elected President!?
What the hell?
First Role models makes LARP look bad ass and now this!?
