I saw the new Bond film. It was pretty cool. I loved the action sequences. There needed to be more scenes with Bond without his shirt though.

Well, I confirmed that it was indeed The Road Warrior that I was mostly remembering. I also confirmed that The Road Warrior is mostly suck as well. 12-year-old me was mightily easy to please apparently.

Watched another car related movie by the name of The Driver. From 1978 starring Ryan O'Neal and Bruce Dern. Very sparse and I liked it a fair bit.

Started to watch What's Up Pussycat but am strongly disinclined to continue after the first five minutes of Peter Sellers (when he's funny he's very funny, but when he stinks he makes Steve Martin of the last decade look like genius). Peter O'Toole's eyes, though, compel me to to continue. I'm at work now, though, so will have to finish tomorrow.

We also saw the new Bond today. We thought most of the action scenes were a little overdone although I liked the fight in the Haitian hotel, as it looked very much like a street brawl and not a choreographed movie fight.

I like the new, gritty Bond, but I still kind of miss the more tongue-in-cheek Connery Bond. Also, the final action sequence was completely ridiculous.

I do love Judi Dench as M, though. No one delivers a dry, biting line like she does.

Tonight was the night for flix at the $3 theatre that just opened nearby.

-- W
I was surpised how sympathetic the filmed made Bush seem and at the same time almost surealist. There was a thin line between mockery and homage and I thought it an interesting film. Not the greatest Oliver Stone film, but Brolin does a fantastic job.

-- Sex Drive
In the spirit of American Pie - a real funny teenage R-rated film that is both hysterical and gross but had a bit of a cheesy ending.

-- Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Great quotable dialogue by Kevin Smith and alot of laughs. It was both hysterical and gross but had a cheesy ending.

OK - so "Porno" and "Sex Drive" pretty much had the exact same plot and ~~has the same female in it,~~* so that was a bit odd seeing both in the same night. Boy and Girl are "best friends" and thru 1. making a porno and another driving to meet a girl for sex, they come to learn they actually "love" each other. Pretty much the same plot for both but I thought them funny.

Edit to add: It was actually "W" and "Porno" that had the same female lead. Elizabeth Banks played Laura Bush and Miri.

Oh man, now I really don't want to see W. I don't want to walk out of a theater wanting to do Laura Bush.

Non-spoiler but as Laura Bush she takes off her shirt. YEs there is a bra but lead to the thought "MILF."

A I applaud her for that pattern, as she does the same in Zack and Miri.

However that just reinforces my desire to not see W, because I'll end up considering Laura Bush more attractive than is healthy, or consider Elizabeth Banks less attractive than is healthy.

For those who have seen sex Drive, I work with an actress who appears in the film as "Drunk Amish Girl." I haven't seen the movie yet, but Michelle (that's her name) said she got to work with Seth Green, and she said he was as cool as she had hoped. She was also moved into the hotel room Green had been staying in after his couple of days on set were done. He had left behind massive amounts of junk food, so she now gets to boast that she ate Seth Green's snacks.
