Most Low-Tech James Bond Ever

I push my body pretty hard. Not the way James Bond does - but staying up all night front of the computer, working too hard, sleeping on uncomfortable airport plastic lobby chairs, not eating correct and not doing any sort of workout. So I decide to take a physical test and see how my body is doing. Doc said I have perfect blood pressure, perfect weight and I'm healthy. That is a perfect news anyone can have. Therefore I decided to treat myself.

I never seen a James Bond movie in a theater. But today I happened to be at the correct place at the correct time. If you want to treat your self for been healthy, James Bond is the perfect movie to watch - because no other movie can make you feel good about yourself than 007. James Bond is the most fed-up character in the cinema with all the technology and money around him. Just like he said, double O has very short live expectancy (Hey, I have 72.89). Even the fellow can't have sex without risking his life - have a martini without getting poisoned - Bond got beat-up on his bolls in Casion Royale. Alright.. He get a Free Office Car - but getting beat-up on the balls? - That is a bad deal right there.

Casino Royale is the most low-tech James Bond movie I have seen. It starts black and white, with a very low-tech fight in a very low-tech bathroom ending in a very low-tech killing. Then there is an exaggerated Parkour seen I love, a low-tech sport, but excellent sport to watch.

The movie is all about lengthily card game in tuxedo. I'm pretty sure none where tuxedos to casinos anymore. But this is 007 - the only man kill people in tuxedo. Anyway there is very little or almost no driving in the movie. No Q. No watch. No flying. No diving. No missiles. No breasts or nude girls. The whole move is very un-Bond-likely. Even they use Google for find things! Hey! Even I can do that!

But this is a one of the best Bond movies I have seen. Daniel Craig is very deferent Bond form Pierce Brosnan and the whole movie is deferent altogether. I like the fact this movie doesn't overkill gadgets like invincible cars in Die Another Day.

After the movie, I had a beer - no poisons in it - no beating on my bolls - no tuxedos. Had a good sleep, got up in the morning, now writing this post sitting on my comfortable chair. Hey. I'm happy. Happier than Bond - James Bond.
