James Bond b.1962 d.2008 RIP.

I dont know what this re-booting of the Bond series is meant to acheive.The things that made the bond series so memorable
a]The super cool villians - Blofeld,Scaramanga,Dr No
b]The delicious dialogues [I thought Christmas came only in winter :-)]
c]The super cool bond girls.
d]The gadgets
e]Bond himself being the ultimate arrogant chauvinist.

All of that has been removed and we have an watered down film having a no good villian making cheap jokes [the damaged goods commment was just too childish].The bond girls [Olga & the other one atterton i think] hardly make an impression.Bond himself goes through the movie with just one expression on his face.There are no gadgets,no witty dialogue nothing that even remotely interests us.The less said about the plotline the better.If producers want to make a realistic spy movie they would better watching the bourne movies [though these movies themselves could have been made much better.]
If i wanted this "humane raw" movie i might as well go to a vin diesel/statham movie they probably would have better stunts.
We need someone to do a nolan and rescue this series.

I think that most of the problems with arsenal is self inflicted with their so called pay structure severely screwing their team. Arsene's arguments on leaving behind a good financial situation behind for his successor is his usual bollock stuff. I mean common you need atleast one good CM to replace players like diarra, flamini and gilberto.A player like that Arsenal do not have presently in the squad [denilson,diaby and song are all too young to step up]. So a player has to be bought.That will surely cost somthing in the range of 7-8 mill atleast.That plus he will definitely be on a payscale significantly more than the pittance arsenal paid to flamini.
Also the team spirit came under some severe beating in the preseason with hleb gone,flamini gone and adebayor agitating for a move too all tied up with salary issues.
Now the team seems broken and without spirit.Arsene has to put his hand up accept his mistakes and buy decent players in the January window.Also Gallas as capt is a joke.Everybody except arsene know it.
All this makes for a hugely entertaining fare for me.As i just LOVE to HATE Arsenal and arsene wenger.

PussyCat Doll wins

I've only now recovered from the severe shocks suffered on sunday night.In two minutes i experienced a multitude of human emotions from
1.dull gloom - Hamilton 5th good enough for championship.
2.bafflement - kubica tries to overtake vettel and hamilton.
3.joy - vettel overtakes hamiltion.massa gonna win championship.
4.ecstasy - massa wins race and with it the championship.
5.horror - in the middle of jumping all over the room awaking my poor roomies i see the race classification stating hamilton as fifth.
6.anger - video of glock slowing down.
7.sadness - this was realistically massa's best chance to win the championship and at home too! cause Ferrari will pull behind kimi the minute he comes back to form.

This was as good a finish as i've ever seen.Right from the start of the race it was evident that it was going to end in rain.So it was beautiful watching the teams plot their way with multiple pit stop strategies.And the last fifteen laps especially was dripping with tension and suspense.
Sadly one team's gamble did not pay off.
