In which I finally see a movie ("Casino Royale")

[klwilliams]

I went to see Casino Royale last night and loved it. (It is also, incidentally, the first movie I've seen in two months. New Year's Resolution #72: see more movies.) All of the other Bond movies have been playing for the past couple of weeks on TV, so I've caught bits and pieces of them here and there. I won't spoil any of the new movie for you, but I will note that this Bond is not a cartoon, like the other Bonds have been to a greater or lesser extent, and that this movie did not have the same sexism and disposable women of the other movies (for one thing, the only character in the entire movie who appeared nude was James Bond). As maestrateresa commented, "It's like Bond Begins, a la Batman Begins."I recommend it for those who like action movies.

You're back! :-) I'm going to see Casino Royale later today. I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I'm really looking forward to this.
