[Vampyr]

I love honest trailers.

I saw Skyfall over the weekend. It was good - one of the prettiest movies I've seen in a long time. The use of lighting, colors, and shadows was incredible and worth the ticket price alone.

There's just something about Bond movies, though, that I never enjoy them as much as I think I will. I'm not sure what it is - the basic premise of Bond is pretty straightforward and awesome sounding: suave secret agent doing action movie things.

But in practice I find I'm never quite able to relate to him. He's ruthless and brutal almost to the point of not being a hero anymore, and I find the way women fall all over him to be unrealistic to the point it's just funny.

For example, in Skyfall, when he approaches the women on the boat in the shower, and she's just like 'oh hai, sexy times nao'. First of all, it seems super risky to just get naked on a boat with enemies about. Second of all, this lady was sold into the sex trade. I doubt in reality she would be that open to having sex with a stranger.
