Redemption Continues
on a less political note, but no less important, two of my favorite things experienced a little bit of redemption over the weekend.
First of all Daniel Craig is an awesome Bond so all the people who were criticizing him before there was even a trailer can suck it. As a matter of fact, Craig might beat out Brosnan for my number two spot on my favorite bonds (that is not conclusive, however). The only part of this story that did not resound in the sounds of redemption was that Casino Royale was not the highest grossing movie of the weekend. If it had been beaten out by Borat maybe I could except it, but alas it was the damn penguins which everybody loves so much. Happy Feet made $42 some million, while Casino only made $40 some million. I am not worried however. I think this bond movie is not simply a good action movie but a great movie all around, so it will have staying power and word of mouth should make it loads of money. I want it to make money so the next bond is just as savage and entertaining without the camp and ridiculousness that the bond will eventually get back to.
The other bit of redemption goes to the San Francisco 49ers, (and the Faithful) because they beat last years NFC superbowl team, the Seahawks. Not only did they beat the Seahawks, but with that will the 9ers are one game out of first place in their division, and have won three games in a row, which they have not done since the Mariucci era. So thank you 49ers for letting us have a little hope for some great games in the future. However, this landmark win does not seem have convinced anyone else in the media surrounding the NFC that the 49ers are worth a damn. I did not see any talk of the 49ers on ESPN tonight, even though this was a pretty big upset. Give the 49ers some respect. We need better announcers and camera crews on gameday and it would be nice to continually see highlights of Frank Gore on one of this over 20 yard runs.
I am going to bed. Namasté
