No Time To Die
After work this evening I headed out with my other half to the cinema – we saw the new James Bond movie – “No Time to Die”.
I liked it. It's probably worth noting that my bar to like movies is incredibly low though – I'm no movie snob. I'm not going to ruin the story at at all, so don't worry if you've not seen it yet.
There was a moment – halway through the movie – when I turned to my other half and grinned. Bond runs past a circular tunnel, and turns to shoot an enemy – towards the camera. We both spotted it. A reference to the classic Bond title image. Given that it was Daniel Craig's last outing as Bond, I wondered if it was put in to may a homage of sorts.
The bigger movie news for me today was the discovery that Steven Spielberg has been working on a re-make of West Side Story. I've always loved the music from West Side Story, and cannot quite describe how the trailer made me feel. I had hair standing up on my arms, and tears in my eyes – it looks that good.
Anyway. It's getting late. Time to fall into bed and sleep. Or sit in bed for an hour falling down internet rabbit holes in my phone. Not sure which yet.
