Post game relief

Phew... That's over for another year.

At least I hope so. I don't think I could take a Michigan OSU matchup for the National Championship! Ben and I went to see Casino Royale last night. We enjoyed it very much. Before the movie there were previews for the silly-looking We Are Marshall movie, but I got so worked up about football that Ben dared me to yell "Go Bucks!" in the theatre. Which I did. It was well-received. Anyway, this Bond movie was thoroughly enjoyable, although not necessarily as repeat watch-able as Goldeneye. I liked that they went back to the beginning, and gave James the character development he has always deserved. There was one strange thing about this James Bond. You may have heard that this is the first Bond movie in which it rains and James Bond bleeds. Yeah, and it's the only one where I've noticed that he runs...and runs... and runs...I was more impressed by this than all of his jumping and fighting. Impressive running skills, James. The worst part of the movie was the opening theme song. Boo. Liked the graphics during the opening theme, though. Also saw Jesus Camp and Marie Antoinette recently. Jesus Camp, you tell me so much about the psychological damage inflicted upon me. Good movie. Marie Antionette could have been so much more. The rock music was a poor choice, and I think that the scope of the story could have been reigned in a little. Not sure why they ended it when they did. Ben and I were talking about wealth, and we thought that James Bond and Marie Antoinette served as good illustrations:
Wealth in James Bond (or Thomas Crown Affair): good.

Wealth in Marie Antoinette: bad. Very bad. See how I draw that line? For those of you who think that James Bond is extravagant, you haven't seen the fun of flipping over an Aston Martin at super high speeds often enough!
