That one with the boat

And for tonight's episode of "I'm not wearing any pants", we shall be forgoing the DVR, and going to the DVD collection...

I just picked up all the James Bond movies, and decided to watch the one with the boat... Its got Pierce Brosnan and it takes place in Asia... apparently its called Tomorrow Never Dies. I'll probably go through them all in order at some point... but that involves me being significantly less lazy...

Apparently British naval vessels have a key somewhere in CIC which is labeled "Peace" and "War". Did not know that... The crewman's hand covered the switch in the shot, so I couldn't tell if there was a third setting of "Not really war, but I really want to shoot something".

Interesting opening credits... the see-through views of the guns and stuff... especially the Walther PPK. makes me more tempted to pick up an airsoft version. and the song is superior to Madonna's "Die Another Day". Which is likely to give you a seizure due to its continual starting and stopping... Worst. Bond Theme. Ever. But that's a different movie, and probably won't be mentioned again...

One of my new goals in life is to stand on one of those hatch things that slide to the side as they open. I really have no idea why that seems so nifty, but it just does...

And i'm pretty sure that Gian Drill Torpedoes of Doom have a completely different SONAR signature than regular torpedoes... mainly because they got a bunch of moving shit... and seem to be slow as balls...

And Mr. Carver said to ensure that they shot the British survivors with the proper amunition, and then the dude shot them with an M60. Pretty sure that the Chinese don't use 60s.

And Aston Martin makes some fantastic looking cars... much better than BWMs. especially the Z8. But that's not in this movie. Although the new Z4 hard top coupe thing looks pretty spiffy. But, again, that's not in the movie.

New goal #2: Hit someone with a cello. Or string bass... whatever... a big string instrument...

New goal #3: Change middle name to Götz. Probably could do without the bleached blond hair, though...

And now they're in the sunken ship. and its starting to roll for whatever reason... and they're stuck in the missile room because the racks of missiles fell over... you'd think they'd be bolted down or some shit, because you gotta figure that, as its a ship, its gonna encounter some heavy seas at some point, and do a bit of rocking back and forth. And i'm pretty sure you don't want missiles, torpedoes and other explosive jibba-jabba falling over in mid-voyage.

And Carver's guards are rocking Calicos... interesting choice in guns...

New goal #4: Hang giant pictures of my grape from skyscrapers...

As your girlfriend I object to you hanging pictures of your grape for anyone but me to see.
