James Bond, Westerns and Dad

I soooooo love James Bond. I grew up on James Bond movies and Westerns. Thinking of those 2 types of movies makes me think of my dad. It got to the point that he had seen so many Westerns that I couldn't rent a western that he hadn't seen. Or, more to the point that he couldn't convince me that he'd seen. I still really wish I would have brought him to see that last big Clint Eastwood western movie. Can't remember the title - but it would have been a hoot to bring him to the theatre for a western. I miss him.

Anyway, I'm making plans with others to see James Bond on Saturday. Yippee! I've lined up the babysitter (had to give up my afternoon to babysit for her, then she would do the same for later). But, it's all good! I can't wait to see this one. No, I haven't read any reviews, and I don't want to hear a thing. I want to make up my own mind regarding this new Bond. He'll have to convince me that he's worthy of joining the ranks. And, believe me... they haven't all passed!

As for the company - well, whoever shows up, shows up. I've heard from a few people, but they haven't put down plans as of yet. I think, that seeing how "international" James Bond is, we are heading out for Sushi. No, it has nothing to do with my Sushi obsession of late, nor does it have to do with the fact my better half has had nothing but California Rolls. We are having sushi out of homage to James Bond. Yeah, that's it. I have yet to set up times, but even if it's just hubby and me, I don't care! We are going, before I see any more hype commercials or reviews!

Tell me, what do you think of Bond? Are you going to see Casino Royale? What do you think about the fact that Casino Royale was originally an "unofficial" movie (more like a spoof) made in '67?

Hmmm... maybe I'll make it a Bond blogging week. Just in homage to the franchise. :D
