So what you're saying is that Bond movies should stick to the formula? Like:

• Pre-opening credits sequence with a 8 minute elaborated stunt impossible in real life.
• Small briefing of the villain and the problem he is bringing to the world.
• Bond sees his new gadgets and make humorous commments on those.
• Bond goes to a country in Europe, meets the villain in a bizarre way that envolves either a game or a dare.
• Bond finds Bondgirl. Feels the urge to have sex with her.
• Bond kills some henchmen and finds out about something, some light plot twist about the villain.
• Bond goes to another country in the world, where the villain's lair is. He takes the Bondgirl for some reason.
• Bond goes on a sequence of stunt after stunt, using his previously presented gadgets, destroying the whole thing.
• Bond gets away and makes love to the Bondgirl. The End.

Don't you think it's starting to get old? Or even better, it's getting difficult to find good plotlines to fill up this formula?


Except in "On her Majesty's Secret Service", when the Bondgirl marries Bond then dies.

Joe Ranft: 1960-2005
Time
From IMDb:

In a blow to Pixar Animation, whose success has been attributed to its story-telling skill as much as its computer creativity, Joe Ranft, head of Pixar's story department, was killed in an auto accident on Tuesday. The driver of the car also died when it plunged off Highway 1 in Mendocino County into the ocean. A third man escaped through the car's sun roof. Before joining Pixar, Ranft, 45, worked at Disney, co-writing Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

He also did the voices of Heimlich in "A Bug's Life", Wheezy in "Toy Story 2", and Jacques the French shrimp in "Finding Nemo", among other things. He will be greatly missed.
