Yea, if they still had to just rely on the American market the Bond series would have died a long time ago. It reminds me of Star Trek. The original was the best and it just kept getting worse and worse.

[bigsigh]

I used to consider myself as a good indicator of what would sell at the cinema and what wouldn't. Also, I've been a real Bond fan since my frined brought Casino Royale to school and gave it to me to read. With all that in mind, plus the fact that't I coming up to 60 years old,

I'm tired of the special effect, falling out of airplanes, versions of the flicks.

I think if there were a Bond today he'd be a british Jack Bauer (24) with a tuxedo and more realistic time frames.

Since I'm addicted I take any taste I can get for now.
