Are you skipping 'Quantum of Solace'?

November 19, 2008

As a movie buff, I got sucked into seeing "Casino Royale" last year.

Since I've written two movie scripts and 10 shorts, I go a lot of movies. Immersing yourself in movies helps you as a screenplay writer. You get used to thinking in "movie" sentences and scenes.

I "bought" the new James Bond hype about "Casino Royale." An exciting Bond, with a new image. A tough, big-muscle guy. A bit of a rogue.

It was a terrible movie. It had a toture scene and a grizzly death. I was disgusted.

I think Hollywood can do better than that. "New and improved" for "Casino Royale" simply meant more awful Hollywood violence.

So, I'm not going to see "Quantum of Solace." I'm not going to be fooled twice.

However, I'm going to miss seing Judi Dench. I think she's a terrific actress.
