Bond, James Bond.. gone, gone forever
In the new Bond movie 007 apparently
shoots the wrong suspect, mirroring the shooting of the unarmed Brazilian in London following the July 7 attacks. I don't know much more than that, but I am sure there is going to be a lot of existential angst over the shooting.
This is why I don't watch new Bond movies any more. Sean Connery's 007 wouldn't have shot the wrong guy, and he sure wouldn't have spent any time in the movie introspectively questioning his raison d'aitre.
The old Connery Bond movies were primarily about style, a style that created its own unique genre. Yes, there was substance, but it was shaped by the style. The new movies have lost the style, and without the style the substance is becoming nothing more than the usual hash of boring, Hollywood action-film crap.
