Pass the pepto-bismol...

In her upcoming movie, Mary-Kate Olsen locks lips with Ben Kingsley.

I really could go to my grave without having to picture that.

I've also heard a rumour that the Olsen twins will be the next Bond girls. (shudder)

If that is true I will have to skip the next Bond movie.

That rumour is in the same category as "Katie Holmes in talk to be star in Wonder Woman". That makes her the 400th actress to be linked to the role.

EVERYONE gets rumoured to be a Bond Girl.

You should probably just skip the next Bond film because they've been sucking really hard lately.

Casino Royale was just OK, but it didn't seem like a Bond film for some reason. Probably because in your standard Bond film, he A)Plays Baccarat, not poker and B)He plays for about 3 minutes of screen time, while pissing off the villain. This movie seemed like a WSOP event with better production values, interspersed with Car chases and sex(which would not be a horrible thing, ya hear me WSOP?)

Ben Kingsley is still a charismatic man, even if he is 114. Here's casting for you though: Spiderman 4, starring Ben Kingsley as The Vulture! Perfect casting IMO, they should make this happen.

Finally, am I the only person that remembers that Spiderman had a villain with in one comic that had a rocket powered skate board? Also, in another ish, he had a villain that was trying to capitalize on the "Michael Jackson" phenomenon, by having a super powered gang leader that looked EXACTLY like "Dirty Diana" era MJ?

This meandering post has been brought to you by Digressions Anonymous: "My name is Tim, and I'm a digresser, which reminds me of a TV show I once watched on a transatlantic flight, whats with the tiny utensils on airplanes?"

Re: Bond
I totally dug that Bond reinvention. The series devolved into gimmicks and required too much of a suspension of disbelief (ie Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist). With the new Bond films, you actually believe Bond could kill a man. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Ben Kingsley is the Vulture. Also, bit of a script whore lately, but I'll allow that because he was bad ass in Sexy Beast.

And that Spider Man villain who raced around on a rocket powered skate board? That would be the Rocket Racer my friend. He should be in the League of Lame Villains Who Reformed.

easily as lame as the Hypno-hustler, in my books.

Imagine... I though you were a good guy Tim. Sheesh.

I loved the new Bond flick. It was definitely not your standard Bond movie but it introduced Bond as a bad ass who had the potential to evolve into the suave Bond.

At least you didn't bad mouth Daniel Craig... I might have had to kick some butt for that. :)

What? Why am I not a good guy? I mean, I'm NOT, but it shouldnt be THAT apparent!

I liked the new Bond Film, I just didn't love it. Maybe I'm just over bond? I dunno...
