Annually Retentive

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2007)

A quote from the Simpsons (Season 9 aired 8 Jan 1995): .
"Doug: Hi, question for Ms. Bellamy. In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
June Bellamy: Uh, well, uh...
Homer: I'll field this one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show?" ....
I watched this film with an open mind. It is quality, although Craig is a bit wooden in the "romance" scenes and the humour is pretty much removed (it was always more painfully ironic than funny anyway - a bit passe nowadays).
The reason for the quote above is a reference to the Bond nerds / perfectionists who put the integrity of the whole Bond genre and their own perceptions of the Bond franchise above all other things. Try getting out more.
Its a damn good film. And, despite its required interpretation for the 2000s, faithful to the Bond tradition. Give the po' man a break, first time out he was seriously better than a lot of Bonds you could mention.
Some people are never happy....
