Friendly happy foodie fun...

[msfledermaus]

...I was hanging out with Matt and Erin and Liz last night, with our own variation of the whole Brazilian grilled-stuff-on-skewers and whatnot...deeeeeelicious. Then we goofed on the couch and watched "Casino Royale"...Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle!!! The action scenes had us yelling, "This is where he puts the Batman cape on!" "Are they in the Matrix or what is this?" "Aw, c'mon, they'd have broken their legs five times over by now!" "Dude, he blew up the whole embassy! The whole damn embassy!!!" But overall it was MUCH better than I expected; I'm still used to the Roger Moore clownish spy-movie...not this much more gritty and brutal kind. It grew on me...



Workies is hard today; there's lots of street festivals and whatnot. *sigh* I gotta start trying for weekends again. Big chunks of my life are spent working; away from the fun stuff and all the people I care about. *small frown* I'll keep trying, but it's going to take me a while, I suspect...meanwhile have a lemonade or something for me, willya?

At first, I thought you were referring to the old Casino Royale with David Niven and Woody Allen. Oddly enough, your comments work perfectly well for either film.

It does...oddly enough, I love the old one with all it's over-the-top 60's craziness. Especially the ending when they just gave up and threw everything into the big Casino fight scene:)

CASINO ROYALE is in my top 5 Bond movies of all time and I've seen all of them a bunch of times.

Which one; old or new?

I still have a soft spot for all that modular 60's weirdness, personally:)

The new one. After years of going over the top and then coming back to a more real view for a movie and then flying right back out, it felt so good to have a movie with this realistic story and viewpoint. I'll give you some of the opening chase stretches the boundries of what a person's legs can handle when jumping, but the film had me from the opening.

About the 60s film... I did find it funny but it felt really disfunctional to me. From the stories that have been told about what went on during the filming, I'm kind of surprised that the film holds together as well as it does.

I never heard about the filming stories, but any film with peter Sellers, Woody Allen AND Orsom Wells has got to have one hell of a back-story.

You can read about it here on Wikipedia. I think I've heard about more problems than the ones listed here but they only have reference to the Sellers/Welles part of it.
