Still no work to do so just hangin' out. I had some fun with photoshop, see the above image...
I saw Tomorrow Never Dies with Courtney, who stayed here the first couple weeks of school this year. She is a gift-wrapper at Macy's and is in the same predicament as I am: BORED cuz everyone went home for the break. So we saw the movie.
My opinion? Much better than Goldeneye, and a much more proper Bond flick.
First of all, unlike Goldeneye, the car actually does something in this movie, unlike the stupid Z3 that was just there for marketing and nothing else. Okay, so the 750 is in there for marketing, but at least they did cool stuff with the car instead of just look at it and talk about the cool toys it has without showing them to us.
The plot was a bit more interesting, but typically Bond uncomplicated and predictable.
Of course, there was the requisite firey destruction of the evil villain's base, and the two girls, one good, and one... sorta bad. And as usual, the bad one dies, the good one lives to make out with 007 at the end of the movie.
The only disappointment was that at the end they weren't discovered, you know, like no one saw them doing it like they always do in the other movies.
And there was no shortage of cool toys, of course.
Of course, it was no Titanic but worth the price of admission, and left me feeling almost completely satisfied with the movie (which is more than I can say about Goldeneye, with all it's shortcomings... it's redemption coming in the form of the red Ferrari F355 at the beginning).
