We're back from the Cape. We had a great time. We camped. Very primitive. No WiFi. Yes, we had a cable hookup and watched cable TV. But the channel selection was limited. We did have NESN and watched part of the Sox game. Also watched a movie on our Winnebago's entertainment system ( Not exactly the Donner Party in their covered wagon ): Casino Royale, which was billed as a " prequel " to the myriad Bond films I've seen since 1961 when Ursulla Andress emerged from the sea in that bikini. Talk about memorable moments in film history...
So what I was expecting was a flick whose action took place in, say the late 1950s. But Bond had a cell phone and GPS and M. was a woman, and there wasn't a single Russian character...
Prequel? This all happened after everything I've watched over the years happened. Wouldn't that make it a sequel? Wouldn't that make it like every other Bond film I've watched? One thing after another, etc.
Whatever. We liked it. Donna liked especially the part where Bond, played by Daniel Craig emerged from the sea in that bikini...
If it sounds like all we did was watch TV, we didn't. We hiked. We started campfires and sat by them and warmed our feet and talked. We read. We did things that Sean Connery and Ursulla Andress did ( Or acted like they did ) , and Daniel Craig and Eva Green did ( Or acted like they did ) . We had a great time, and we're planning on going back to the Cape in three weeks.
I guess you could call it a prequel to what we did this weekend.
