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.
