^Warb's a Bond purist. He's still mad that M is played by Judi Dench.

yep. Especially since this is supposedly a reboot. If this is supposed to Bond at the beginning of his career, why not have the original M? I am also pissed they did away with the traditional Bond opening scene, and that the in Casino Royal when Bond was asked whether he wanted his martini shaken or stirred he said "do I look like I give a crap?" I mean were they intentionally trying to piss off the original Bond fans?

I mean, making it more like the books wasn't really the point of the reboot. They wanted to create a Bond for the modern age. It's a new take on Bond. When Bond is stressed, and the bartender asks if he wants his martini shaken or stirred, he really doesn't care. I understand if you don't like this angle, but it's most certainly not supposed to annoy original Bond fans. It's a different twist on the character.
