All of the opening gun barrel sequences to the James Bond films, here!
Well, actually, no. Not here, per se, since I’m still not quite sure how to post a YouTube clip on my blog. I know, it's probably super easy but you can see them all on Cinematical, so why should I redo it!
Right. So I’m pretty much dying to see the new James Bond flick, but I just can’t square the current tk prices with my budget (it’s the beginning of a very leeeeeeeeean season for Kitty). So, I’ve been consoling myself by reading all the (mostly favorable) reviews and ogling photos of Mr. Bond, er, I mean Mr. Caig, on the internet. Came across afore mentioned “gun barrel” post the other day and totally spent a needless hour trying to rate all the 007 opening bits. It’s quite fun. If you’ve got some time to kill, check it out.
He may not be able to drive a stick shift, but I still think he'll be as good if not better than the last 5 Bonds.

A day for Whoopi
OK, OK I know! I need to start producing more creative posts! If anyone is still out there reading: I'm really sorry about all the "dead air". Believe me, I never meant for this blog to devolve into a birthday/obit column, however, I really couldn't let the day pass without wishing my girl a happy birthday! She may have questionable taste in movies but I like her and I think she's funny. Some folks even say I kind of look like her, too. It's a nice complement cuz she has a terrific smile!
Hope you had a great day, Whoopi

You will be missed ...
Ed Bradley (June 22, 1941 – November 9, 2006)
From the CBS News website:
CBS) The 2005-06 season marks Correspondent Ed Bradley's 25th on 60 MINUTES. He joined the broadcast during the 1981-82 season. He also anchors and reports hour-long specials.
Bradley's consummate skills as a broadcast journalist and his distinctive body of work have been recognized with numerous awards, including 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment that reported the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till. He received three Emmys at the 2003 awards: a Lifetime Achievement Emmy; one for a 60 MINUTES report on brain cancer patients, "A New Lease on Life" (April 2002); and another for his hour on 60 MINUTES II about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, "The Catholic Church on Trial" (June 2002).
Bradley's 60 MINUTES interview with condemned Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh (March 2000) was the only television interview ever given by the man guilty of one of the worst terrorist acts on American soil; it also earned Bradley an Emmy. His reporting on the worst school shooting in American history, "Columbine" (April 2001), revealed on 60 MINUTES II that authorities ignored telling evidence with which they might have prevented the massacre.
Other hourlong reports by Bradley have prompted praise and action: "Death by Denial" (June 2000) won a Peabody Award for focusing on the plight of Africans dying of AIDS and helped convince drug companies to donate and discount AIDS drugs; "Unsafe Haven" (April 1999) spurred federal investigations into the nation's largest chain of psychiatric hospitals; and "Town Under Siege" (December 1997), about a small town battling toxic waste, was named one of the Ten Best Television Programs of 1997 by Time magazine.
