Being Thankful + My Thoughts on Quantum of Solace (film)

I didn't celebrate Thanksgiving with a turkey this year. Instead my uncle and me replaced it with fish. At first I thought it would be weird considering it was cooked alongside the stuffing but it turned out that wasn't the case. It actually tasted like turkey, and it was tasty. This is actually the first time we moved away from the tradition of celebrating the holiday by eating Mr. Gobbles and despite this, the get-togethers remained the same (even if it was the two of us as mentioned on my previous post).

Anyway I'd like to thank the following:

Family (even though my relatives are scattered around a wide radius, I'm proud they're a part of my life.)

Friends (both near and far and of course those I've met online). Ghosts (I've been drawing one of them for a while now!)

The little things in life (coffee, college, gaming, art, comics, local businesses here in town, etc. etc. etc.)

Happiness (especially humoring people which I tend to do a lot)

Earlier tonight I watched Quantum of Solace, the only Daniel Craig Bond film I've yet to see until now. People weren't kidding about how bad this Bond film was. The poor editing reminded me much of the action scenes from Batman Begins. I had a very difficult time figuring out the plot. There were a few nostalgic references seen in previous Bond films that failed the moment I noticed them. I can go on and on about QoS but overall I just didn't enjoy the movie from beginning to end.

Unfortunately it didn't beat out Die Another Day as my least favorite in the Bond franchise and that's saying a lot. At least GoldenEye still remains my favorite Bond film of all time. Speaking of which, having to watch the GoldenEye Reloaded TV Ad every time a commercial break commenced isn't enough to convince me in buying Activision's reimagining of the N64 c1assic. (I nickname it Call of Duty: GoldenEye due to the gameplay similarities I spotted between the two.)

Until then, gobble gobble!
