wow.

(slight spoilers to casino royale ahead. please ignore this post if you've not seen the show. you've been warned)

james bond. casino royale. sizzling babes. witty lines. fast action.

Unlike recent James Bond movies with its uber cars and weapons and futuristic gizmos, this movie was based mainly just on Bond himself. No frills. Raw talent and with the unpolished touch to it, the young Bond. IMO, less thinking, more bloodthirst.

Show started off well with a Jackie-Chansque chase scene, with amazing and yet not-impossible stunts and moves. Fear Factor style.

This show, has reserved of course, how Bond can effortlessly charm the pants/skirt/clothes/lingerie off the women just by looking at them. Now this meta-human power, I would like to believe is purely fictional in this reality of ours.

So I was expecting more typical Bondness to come.

I mean, after watching that Aston Martin DBS make that small bend in the hills blazing after Le Cliffe, I was expecting missiles or at least a small auto-aiming machine gun or something.

But no... 3 seconds later the car was totally liquidated, and Bond captured. Smart move by the villian. *clap clap* AND did you know that the car stunt received a Guiness Record for the most number of cannon rolls with an air cannon. 7 times. No wonder I thought the car rolled pretty magnificently. haha.

And according to Ben, the show is medically accurate.

Watching Bond -falling in love- and getting all mushy WAS -discomforting- but thank goodness the babe left the scene and we got Bond back.

We now know the origins of his drink, and perhaps the very first time he said his signature greeting.

Loved the classic ending.. hahaha.. true to the spirit of Bond.

"My name is Bond, James Bond."

random quotes:

Babe(vespar): "..I feel as if I am reborned.."
Bond: "..then why aren't you naked in front of me?"

Bartender: "Shaken or stirred?"
Bond: "Does it look like I give a damn?"


Now now, anyone interested for a game of Texas Holdem with 10cent 20cent chips? =)
