Newest Bond film politically correct.
I just caught the beginning of "Casino Royal" on TV. WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFF? Lets back peddle for a sec. Admittedly the early Bond films were tongue and cheek humor. But the later films had Hali Barry as strong heroin, and an Asian woman saving Bond at certain times in yet another. Not to mention the future head of the British Secret Service in the series is a woman. I AM ALL FOR WOMAN POWER! I wish I had Xena Warrior Princess as my girlfriend in high school when all the jocks picked on me. And Lucy Lawless looked hot in that leather kilt and metal chest plate. BUT, in this "Casino Royal" the opening credits. they skipped the women in silhouette. W AND T AND F? We have no problem with infomercials late night with woman saying " I wont date a "small guy" but if he gets this pill and gets larger I'll beat any Asian guy in a Conney Island Hot Dog eating contest......." Yet it is wrong for a woman to be sexy and strong? What is next? Bond can't shoot people because it teaches violence? And all that Metallica I listened to made me a serial killer? A sexy women depicted in media IS NOT A CRIME! I could see 50 years from now a Bond film where he merely reads Dr Sues to kindergartners for two hours. WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING TO A CLASSIC? I don't get it? Arnold blowing people up, Jason slicing people, all that is ok. But show a sexy woman......NOOOO NOOOO...... |

Apparently you got your wrestling from the 80's. They don't bitch at a camera for 20 minutes anymore.
Fights are also much more complicated than the average person thinks. But even ignoring that, so what if it's worked? I'll know who's going to win the cup if anyone faces Toronto in the playoffs too, that doesn't mean the game isn't worth watching.
The only difference regarding the soap opera aspect is that wrestling usually confines it to camera. While actual sports use the newspaper, and don't have script writers to make it interesting.

Connery's greatest role, the role that I feel defines him as an actor, was playing the scottish captain of a russian submarine
during the latter part of the cold war in Red October and doing so with the sort of effortlessness that made me believe in him completely.
He didn't seem to be acting at all.
Whenever I hear of russian submarines I always think of connery leading his lads in the sort of stirring bolshie man-song that seems to have
become Russia's audio avatar of apple pie.
Sam Neil with his chawed-off vocalisations about montana and pick up trucks only served to illuminate connery's greatness.

Admittedly, a little late on my behalf but...
Yes, it does
The only thing stopping you, is frail concepts like "morality" and "ethics"
