James Bond

I've never read Ian Fleming's James Bond books, but I've seen most of the movies.  They're pretty fun, especially the ones with Sean Connery.  He had great style, while Roger Moore was kinda goofy.

I'll admit that they're anything but "politically correct," and they have a lot of cliches.  Like the way he always survives the deathtraps that the villains spend so much time on preparing.  And like the Rocky movies, they're somewhat repetitious.  In every movie he'll have a testy scene with his boss M, a scene with Moneypenny the flirtatious secretary, a scene with Q demonstrating clever gadgets, search rooms, get into fights, meet gorgeous women, enter a villain's lair with fancy sets, foil the villain's crazy but serious scheme to dominate the world, and be making love in the last scheme.  There's actually a bit of comfort in such sameness.

I read about a British schooled who caused controversy because he wanted to got to a costume party dressed as the man in Fifty Shades of Grey.  In the end he went as James Bond instead.  Funny how there's no controversy in dressing as a professional killer who goes through women like Kleenex!

I haven't seen any of the recent movies with Daniel Craig.  Nothing can compare to the nostalgia of your memories.
