Come this Friday, its all about 007!

The spooks have returned to the dark side for another year.  Those that fear the dark can now walk freely out in it without any worry of their soul or brains being left compromised for the dead to steal or feast upon.  Another Halloween has come and gone and I'm hoping you all had a great one and had the opportunity to do at least one thing spooky this past season.

I usually end up lamenting the Halloween season and usually use the first post after the holiday to complain, bash and generally blaspheme against the upcoming X-mas season.  Well, I'm not going to waste any energy doing so this year.  Why?  Well, usually after Halloween I have little to look forward to except cold, snowy weather and a severely injured bank account.  But, this year there is reason to be joyous!

Come this Friday, we'll all be singing the praises of Barbara Broccoli, Michael G. Wilson and Sam Mendes as they bring us, what is being touted as, THE best James Bond movie of the decade, Skyfall.

I devoted a complete blog post (may have spoilers to major plot points!) to my anticipation of this movie a while back and now the week has come where Bond will return to the theaters after a small delay due to a legal bout when MGM went bankrupt and incompetent lawyers were lagging on getting matters resolved so production on this wonderment could commence.

Friday's the day!  I have a reserved ticket to a 7:00 PM showing at a local theater and I find myself counting the minutes.  I'll be seeing it with the same people and in the same theater that I saw the last Bond film.  It's no secret that I've been a Bond fan for a very long time and the excitement when a new movie comes out is sometimes uncontrollable.

Even though I gave the last Bond adventure, Quantum of Solace some great praises in the review I posted here, I have to admit, that compared to its predecessor, Casino Royale, it was greatly lacking in both characterization and story telling.  Early reviews of Skyfall state the complete opposite.  Not only is Skyfall rumored to have an incredible story line that really explores Bond's past and demons, it also tackles his relationship with his superior, "M", a Bond fan favorite character.

there's also the matter of the main villain, Silvo, who is rumored to be one of the best Bond villains since Blofeld and Goldfinger.

Ya know, it sounds like I'm already giving the movie a review before I've even seen it.  I'll tell you what.  You can bet your sweet bippy that I'll have my review posted within the next week.  And I don't intend it to be completely spoiler free as there are some major things that get rattled about within the Bond mythos that take place in this film.

Ok, then.  The next post you'll read on this blog will be the review of the movie
