I was one of those people who went to see CASINO ROYALE this weekend...

The article quotes an executive from the Warner Brothers...HAPPY FEET had a "positive" environmental message. He thinks that helped HAPPY FEET to be number one in the box office. I don't know...Maybe the film did well DESPITE the environmental message. Michael Medved did not like HAPPY FEET. One reason he gave was the enviromental message in the film...

CASINO ROYALE had no environmental message...I don't know if the film had any message.

CASINO ROYALE will probably become the top-grossing Bond film...I guess the Sony will not ask Pierce Brosnan to come back for one more Bond.

In 1969, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE did not do well in the box office. United Artists dumped George Lazenby after that film. UA gave a huge amount of money to Sean Connery to come back for DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER in 1971. (I thought that DAF was an OK film.)

I heard about the attempted poisoning of a Russian defector in London. In CASINO ROYALE, Bond gets poisoned as well.

Eva Green was great in CASINO ROYALE...She would be remembered as one of the more memorable "Bond girls". She looked great without any makeup on...in the bathroom.

I noticed the original was on TCM over the weekend.

From watching the trailers the new Bond looks more like a thug than a handsome Bond character. Most women i have spoken to agree the guy sucks.

I was pleased when, riding home from "Happy Feet," my 10-year-old said, "Maybe they want to try to convince people to place a fishing restriction around Antarctica." Perhaps the many times I have said, "If someone one is writing something, then they have a message they are trying to give you. Figure it out so that you won't be manipulated" is having effect.

Other than that, it was a pretty fun movie. Do you ever wonder why a studio doesn't produce an entire computer animated movie with Robin Williams providing all the voices? I don't know that he would be as good as Mel Blanc, but I think Robin Williams would be willing to give it a shot.

I saw about 2/3 of "Happy Feet" on Saturday. The story line was weak.

I saw the enviro message coming...but the kids wanted to leave before they had a chance to beat us over the head with that one.

"Happy Feet"-- an awfully boring movie I had the misfortune to sit through. Not to mention it was nothing but enviro-wacko propaganda. Very little plot, and much too long and tiring singing and dance sequences. Moral of the movie: fishermen are bad but the killer whales and sea lions that try to eat the peguins, well, no mention about them. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
