Ruining A Good Thing

In an article in the UK newspaper "The Independent" it was revealed that the famous line "Bond, James Bond" will NOT be included into the new Bond flick "Quantum of Solice" set to come out November 14. Now first they take away the vodka martini and replace it with a coke zero. What kind of fruit is gonna order a coke zero at the bar?! The James Bond character became famous for killing bad guys, banging bitches, and boozing it up in style. Now he's a watered down action hero who we're supposed to believe would rather drink a soda than alcohol when he's out on the town?

This movie is turning out to be just another action film with no elements of the original James Bond in it. After doing a good job of balancing the 1950s feel with 21st century technology in Casino Royale, I really expected them to do the same with this one instead of turning it into a vehicle for corporate sponsorship and trying to please the 15 year olds who have never seen a Connery or god forbid Roger Moore bond movie. I am on the verge of boycotting this movie as there is nothing about it that even remotely interests me. Alicia Keys and Jack White doing the bond theme will be atrocious as well.. mark my words.
