Quantum of Solace

The new Bond was seen and very much enjoyed \o/ Another movie that I need to get on DVD!

* The movie starts with a real BANG! Awesome!
* M was great! "Was she your mother?" "She likes to think so." Mwahaha!
* They drowned the poor girl in oil *shudders*
* The action was awesome. Really really awesome. And so fast!
* I liked Olga Kurylenko as a Bond!girl. She kicked ass.
* I'm glad that they finally got rid of the absurd "Bond. James Bond." line. That had me always rolling my eyes.
* I was happy to see some familiar faces, like Mathise (even though they killed him) and Felix!
* Though some of the editing/cutting was rather awkward, like they had to re-shoot some scenes...

So, both thumbs up and all. Daniel Craig? My favorite Bond so far! \o/

And from the trailers that I saw? I think I would like to see Angels and Demons. That looked awesome. Or at least the trailer did :)

BTW, Supernatural's ratings? Ouch, the drop! From 3.73 mil. and 1.6/4 demo to 3.24 mil. and 1.4/3 demo. Ouch, ouch, ouch! Not the worst rated ep of this season and definitely better than anything last season brought up but still... That's a half a million drop! X(

Yes, the covers are definitely the eye catchers. My biggest recollection about that first one is how poor the plot was. She buys out her contract and then her agency puts a price on her head even though she basically did things "legally", but they just wanna hold a grudge? Just felt like a petty reason to try to drive a plot, and I kept waiting for something to happen that would make it all make sense and after a point I just gave up on it.

Have you read Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson books? I just picked up the second one. Loved the first one though I caught a couple little plot holes, but they weren't so glaring I couldn't let them go and just go on with the story.

Oh yes, Mercy Thompson is my glee! I will be actually translating her books into Czech \o/ Though her new series in the same world about Anna and Ran's other son is... not as good. Anna is no Mercy, unfortunately. Another great author is Ilona Andrews and her Kate Daniels. Oh my, that girl kicks butt!

I'm not sure if I asked alreay, but do you have a GoodReads account? I'm trying to spread the love through the masses XD

Cool beans that you'll be translating it. That is definite glee *g* I do love Mercy, she's just a really enjoyable character. I did take a break between book one and book two, just because I'd had enough of weres for a bit, but I'm back to it.

I don't have a GR account, but I'll look into it. Cheers!
