Was Spectre Really Supposed to Be a Black Comedy?!

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2016)

Spectre was not too bad (for a Bond movie) but I could let this slide without pointing out what made me wince.

Does no one else seems to notice or even care how many times Spectre deliberately or by accident seems to violate many of the rules from the "Evil Overlord List" (go look up the Evil Overlord List (EO) then re-watch Spectre for a laugh). I hate to admit it but the spoof Casino Royale (1967) keeps getting better the more Bond films like Spectre are released. Just add a little bit more cheese on top and Spectre would be a great black comedy.
A few choice gems to watch out for.
1. One of Bond's single pistol shots punctures an exposed, out in the open, pipe that just happen to be the one that blows up Spectre's world headquarters (Ala Death Star or Trade Federation ship) and nothing blows until Bond and his bimbo makes it all the way out to the heliport for the epic big badda boom money shot. Spectre should have paid the extra dime for those pesky failsafes the SCADA programmers suggested years earlier.
2. Blofeld spent hours of his own or Spectre's dime doing additional spiderweb demolition wiring of the old MI6 building and only pennies on cheap B/W copies taped to the wall. For someone who is busy running a large world crime organization, Blofeld seems to have time and money to stop and pull the wings off a fly for fun and giggles.
3. Specter's "legions of doom" can't hit the broadside of a Bond using machine guns on full auto whilst Bond using only one pistol clip can dispatch everyone on the base with enough to spare. Specter must have hired a hoard of Indians from 1950's westerns for security.
4. Bond before, during, and after being repeatedly sliced, diced, drilled, and Julian fried can still "service" all the sexy ladies (Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark made fun of this ability).
5. Blofeld sadistically drills into Bond's head rather than simply shooting him in the head (See EO list). The funny part was Bond was not damaged after drilling (no pain no brain?). Bad guys should never play with you food. Fortunately for Bond the torture chair arms retracted behind his back and all the clamps opened up on their own allowing for the big escape (see EO list for doors that open when you shoot the lock).
6. Bond had Blofeld monologuing his evil plot several times (i.e. The Incredibles).
7. Q says he has 2 cats to feed and a mortgage on a small place to protect so he cannot do Bond's homework. From a ski lift, Q on a laptop can read the DNA of whoever has worn a Spectre ring over the years (except for Q who just handled it or Bond who just wore it) (evil people really need to wash their hands more often). The "funny" (realistic) part for us software developers is Q is still unmarried, has no dog, no savings, works in a dingy basement, or has any better paying job offers lined up for someone who can hack the world from his laptop. Q's not getting laid or paid. So much for a STEM education. From what I see, Spectre is not any better for tech workers and hires black turtlenecked FOA only (i.e. Austin Powers and Apple).
However, in the opening titles there was homage to the Dr. Mabuse series (1920s-1930's) when they showed the multiple eyes scenes. A nice touch that was totally unexpected.
Reading the EO list has really robbed me of the enjoyment of taking movies like this too seriously. Let's hope the next Bond film is less laughable.
