Let me guess what this one is like (I haven't seen it yet): Bond performs an incredible stunt-filled escape from death; opening titles run with silhouettes with naked women while signature song is blared out by a popular artist (oh please don't let it be Britney Spear); megalomaniac launches plan to threaten the world; Bond gets called into service by M; Q shows him how to use deadly suppositories and other clever toys; Bond drives a bitchen' car to initial infiltration point; seduces and tricks throwaway love doll villain; meets and charms captive love doll heroine; gets captured by megalomaniac villain (who is somehow effeminate and strange so as not to undermine Bond's mojo) who proceeds to explain entire plan and weaknesses of his evil lair while not conclusively trying to kill Bond; Bond escapes in a wild vehicle chase; rescues captive heroine; stops evil plan; kills villain with irony; destroys evil lair; MI5 and CIA arrive too late to help Bond, while he helps himself to some hot lovin' on paid government time (just like some world leaders). And a guy named Broccoli nets $24 million in the first weekend.
the part where Bond gets captured before killing the villain and the villian has his henchmen set up a complex killing technique that Bond can defeat just in time to rescue the love interest/doll before killing the villain, etc. They all have to have that great suspense of wondering if Bond will die, you know!
Got to be at least one casino scene with Bond in a tux so that he can:
1. order a martini and deliver the classic line
2. interact with either the main villan or a sub-villan.
I haven't seen the movie but I would guess that it follows the same formula you described. Your synopsis of the Bond films is quite accurate. Well done!
Well, M is a little more involved in this one than the other Bond films. And R is introduced. Throwaway love doll villian seduces Bond for a change. Megalomaniac villian is suicidal and isn't as talky as usual. And it's Garbage not Brittney Spears.
I thought Britney Spear is garbage.;-)
Either that, or it was a lucky guess!! Yeh, sure!!!
