  Perhaps there IS a handicap in me, as I grew up not seeing idiotic films - all you could get in Russia were serious films, so you kind of accepted the notion that films had to be somewhat related to life, unless they were comedies. Bond movies sort of fall in between, so my mind was not ready to accept them. Typically the spy movies released there were all straight face, very serious with no liberties. And it is not like spoofs would not be accepted - the most memorable one perhaps being The Lemonade Joe, but that one also was overtly a comedy.

    We all have some kind of handicaps, it vary from culture to culture, to habits to habits and from seed to seed, and from soil to soil, and a given seed won´t do on the wrong soil.
    But a good film remain a good film, universally recognized as such, and a good director is as rare as a jewel.
    It is easier to find a good book, no wonder we are writing thme since centuries..

    But spy films when well done are like others " best of ".
    Look at the Le Carre´s films.
    Intelligent and challenging as much as any others.
    Look at Poe at Simenon and so on.
    Without them, life would be even more boring.
    That is why we invent them in copying the real life around us.

      Me, I will take the Airplane and Naked Gun ANY DAY over that Bond boredom! Spoofs at their finest are absolutely great, when they are not trying to be something else.

        Poor guy.

        Yes Simenon is that far away but it was in another context. The one who make criminal story not a minor art.
        That was all about.
