Casino Royale

Because of a diary mix-up - SO not my fault - I saw this movie tomight, while Jeremy has to wait until Wednesday - ooh the power! I could wreck his evening with a few well-chosen words! But I won't. Suffice it to wonder how on earth they found not one, but TWO such odd-looking women to act opposite him. Another blogger (Wyndham) said that 'the famous Bond quips fall from his lips with all the charm of a dead pigeon off a roofrack.' Certainly true of the love scene bits, but I thought the vodka-martini line was perfectly done.

And the shoot-em-ups were tremendous - I didn't know which way they would turn out. An unusual feeling for a Bond movie.

Jeremy instead was doomed to yet another squabbly PCC meeting, while on Wednesday I go to an evening of stand-up comedy with some girlfriends. Them's the breaks, neh?
