hey, sexism! what a nice new suit you're wearing.
DIE JAMES BOND DIE.
My dad and I like to see action movies together. It's how we bond! And I think I've been spoiled for action movies lately (Avengers, Bourne Legacy, even Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol--and a lot of Buffy...), because I didn't expect Bond movie to be as bad as it was.
Guys. It was so bad.
There were four female characters. Three slept with James Bond. Two ended up dead. One never had a name.
All the bad guys, except for the main one, were white. All the bad guys were male. All the background MI6 employees that I saw were male, and I think mostly white. The bad guy, of course, was also vaguely queer.
Then the one main woman of color, who kicked more ass than James Bond in the first fight scene, ends the movie choosing to be a secretary because of a piece of advice that Bond gave her. Field work isn't for everyone. (Only white men, stupid.)
THE WORST PART: There's a woman who Bond is seducing at a bar. He grabs her wrist, and from a tattoo there, deduces that she was a sex slave since she was 12 or 13, and got out of it because she fell in love with a man. She leaves and tell Bond to meet her at her boat in an hour (if he survives...).
Spoiler: he survives. And goes to her boat. Where she is showering. And he gets naked, goes into the shower, grabs her from behind, and then they fuck in the shower.
Because in this screenwriter's head, that's a good idea.
She should have shot him. A lot.
At the end (SPOILER!) Judi Dench dies. In my brain, to keep from rage-black-out-ing, I figured out that it must have been a Life Model Decoy, and somewhere in Wales M and Coulson are drinking tea and planning world domination.
The end.
