The new bond movies didn't cut it for me either, I liked Goldeneye a lot but honestly I want the oldskool back, even if its trite. I want the villains that have peculiar abnormalities and the top secret weapons and gizmos that aren't just hypothesized designed but shit that just sounds cool and could hypothetically work.
I feel for you, Brother, but real Bond fans don't count anymore in the formula. If they can get any big hunky guy (to get women interested in going to see it), and any number of slutty boobs, mixed with a stupendous and over-the-top amount of violence and explosions, then all the fair-weather Bond fans, who only care about the elements listed above, will keep buying tickets. Similarly to how Star Trek fans got FUCKED over with that horrid, twisted piece of misery by J.J. Abrahms.
Bond: You're buying and selling humanity just to fulfill a vendetta. Obviously, it didn't help you get a grip on reality.
Lolz. In true Bond fashion.
But I agree, its all watch Bond do a hot chick, lose the hot chick, go nuts and pew pew pew.
Sucks, don't it? Some of the older ones had really good plots. The Spy Who Loved Me leaps to mind as one of my personal favorites. They don't get much better than that... Jaws, Barbara Bach... Kurt Jurgens with a superior breed of villain... huge battle at the end about a mammoth oil tanker... nuclear submarines... save the world... microfilm, Bernard Lee as M. Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny, and Desmond as Q. No sign of Judy Denchm anywhere.
amirite?
IDK about some of those far-fetched plots, but the main gists to your jive is right on.
