James Bond

I was convinced by Derek to follow an old British tradition and go along and watch the latest James Bond film recently.
Long gone are the days when Sean Connery was marauding round our screens in the latest 1974 vintage Aston Martin, and drinking enough vodka martini to bring down a bull elephant.
The elephant will be feeling a lot more stable on his feet these days as i believe that James Bond has tamed somewhat in his last few outings.
His suits may be sharper, his cars maybe more powerful, but that sparkle in his eye is gone now. He is no longer the cheeky happy chappy he was once, now he relies on scorn and contempt to get through his films. He is also blonde, at what point in one's ageing process does their hair change from brown to blonde, and their eye colour brown to blue?
I liked James Bond, i liked him during Octopussy, i liked him during Live And Let Die, i liked him less in The World Is Not Enough but now i dislike him in his latest outing, Quality Soltan or something, I'm not entirely sure how much a sun tanning company paid to be advertised on the title of the film, but maybe that is why they filmed most of the film outside England, in places that show less English characteristic than Madagascar.
Ian Fleming would be turning in his grave at the latest installment of his famous story.
Rick Wakeman is not a fan either, i read it on his blog.
Bond is going to have to pull something out of the hat in a couple of years time.
