[insert james bond theme music here]

there has been a call for a bond marathon, which i fully support. after we see the new bond (quantum of solace field trip on 11/18), we will start from the old beginning. more details to follow...

semi-amt

it may not be considered "real action," but i feel that watching the election night coverage next tuesday will be sufficiently exciting for yours truly.
everyone (even the republicans among you) is invited to my house on tuesday night for snacks and some lively (ideally respectful) discussion.
p.s. i am baking cookies as a bribe.

Who you gonna call? Me.

I know I said we'd go see Eagle Eye, but it's the end of the month and the paycheck is wearing thin. Also, I just don't feel like it. Ghostbusters. My house. 7:30ish. Think popcorn and ectoplasm. But not together.

The Transporter

Every Which Way But Loose, your day will come. And it will be a glorious day.

As for you, The Transporter, I am sorry that I fell asleep. I was really tired. For what it's worth, I liked you all right. You were pretty much an excuse for an action movie, and that is fine. The acting wasn't great, but the action was, and that's really what counts.

I don't know what the ruckus about Jason Statham is, but I guess I am not attracted to him and that is a big part of it. I liked his accent. He is pretty badass. I also liked his inspector friend.

erin statham

i know the movie was supposed to be every which way but loose. unfortunately, it appears that there are no suburbs in oregon that carry that movie, which was a serious blow to yours truly. we chose the transporter instead, which proved to be a wise choice.
jason statham is unfailingly badass, hot, and manly. and hot.
but seriously, this movie was very enjoyable for me. there was the right mix of actual plot, really bad bad guys, a fairly obnoxious screamy female character, and pretty good explosions.
i am really looking forward to watching the sequel next week.
related sidenote: transporter 3 is in post-production!
semi-related sidenote: don't forget to vote for our next amt's!
very loosely related sidenote: how do we feel about death race as a field trip sometime soon?
