A better story makes a better Bond

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  Feeling better, and more collected?  Ah, it must be blissful to relax and warm your tootsies by the fire reading a book, and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea.  Or hot chocolate.  Me I'm sweltering here, it's hot, and hot chocolate is the last thing I want.  I want an ice pop.  Blackcurrant.

I don't normally check the tagged posts but hey, your big brother makes a pretty good Scotsman.  In training to be Bond?  James Bond is supposed to be a callous womanizer.  Don't get out of character!  He still looks a bit young: Sean Connery was 32 when he became Bond.  I sure hope the storytelling gets better with the Bond movies.  "SPECTRE" was deplorable.  It started off with potential, but then it got so shallow.  What a waste of a villain.  Don't make the villain young and good looking!  The villain is supposed to be an ugly old man!  Slow things down, give us more suspense and intrigue, not more action!  It's not that the modern writers after Ian Fleming can't write a good Bond movie.  "Skyfall" was good.  So was "Tomorrow Never Dies".  I suppose it's a general plague in Hollywood, the plague of lack of creativity.

I haven't had dinner yet.  I'm making fried flat noodles, which has been my usual fare for Saturday night.  I got all the meats and veggies chopped up, I just need to start frying.  Take care, my darling!  Calm your heart!


Hmmm... Mary Unknown7 has been looking very Japanese lately...
