I'm out of the loop too, Ken. Really fancied that film - but was put off by Helena Bonham Carter in the lead role. I know you can't see her, but it would still be too irritating. There isn't even Johnny D's bod to compensate.
Seriously though, I will get round to it one of these days.
Casino Royale is awesome, dolly. I recommend.
I keep begging JLLM to take me, Ken, but I think he's secretlythreatened by Daniel Craig's Ursula Andress moment.

He's pretty ripped for a Bond.

on the Bond issue, I spent the first hours of 2007 with   As dated as they are, ain't NO Bond like Sean! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ annual NYE tradition since I was a kid also included a fine old b&w comedy, nicely supplied by the tube:  |

I figured that one out to suck. I'm not sure that's a real sentence but there ya go. Oh yeah, the other night, sisy & I tried watching CARS. (She got it as a Xmas gift from her younger brother, pretty cute) However. . . . . oh my lord jesus but this is one horrible show. It starts w/race cars spinnin around this Indy 500 track. And they're spinnin, sayin stuff to each other, and spinnin in circles. AFter that we tired of it real quick. Eventually, after 10 minutes of grueling movie pain, sisy grimaced and hit the STOP button. Shhhh!, don't tell her kid brother! We're going to wink @ him and say we loved it  |

You guys didn't love Cars? What kind of soulless monsters are you?! That was perhaps my favorite movie of 2006 ... but then again, I'm a sucker for cars and the idealized image of small town America and Route 66. One of these summers I'm going to drive up into New Mexico, hit Route 66, and turn either left or right (I'll decide once I'm there) and drive till I hit ocean or the great lakes. I wanna eat at local restaurants, hit all the weird old touristy things, and soak up the America that sort of used to be, but never really was. I loved Cars ... it's right up there with Monsters, Inc. for my favorite Pixar flicks. |

Inadvertently you've given the answer- I find Pixar-flicks to be kind of soulless. Picture perfect and made to measure for all those new DVD-systems like BluRay and HD-DVD.
Watched Cars back to back with Howl's Moving Castle and that's when for me the coin really dropped. Today's cartoon features ain't got no soul, man. Nothing slightly imperfect or personal about it. Computers drawing for computers.
I'm hoping the Tex Avery boxset is still available somewhere. That defined a cartoon for me- not overstaying its welcome and characters that genuinely lived. Mel Blanc is still sorely missed- give me him thousandfold over all those actors doing voice-overs now.
