James Bond is Stuck in the 60s


No duh, Mr Damon. The recent CASINO ROYALE was a good effort in renewing my Bond movie interest, but it’s been boring before that. Not to mention silly and nonsensical.

“Bond is an imperialist and a misogynist who kills people and laughs about it, and drinks Martinis and cracks jokes,” he told reporters.

“The Bourne franchise is not about wearing Prada suits and looking at women coming out of the sea with bikinis on,” Damon said. “It’s about essence and truth, not frippery and surface.”

Good job of pushing your movie. Extra points for using “frippery” in a sentence.
