Friendship Bracelet A-z Patterns

Shaken, not stirred.


Today our champion of freedom and pathological optimist has not proposed any action against the crisis (according to the OECD recession in a couple of months) when he appeared in Congress. The tunnels of the M-30 have been flooded and I have been lucky not to catch this morning jam on the highway out of Toledo, while the input reached the Sector 3, Getafe. Fortunately today released particle accelerator (CERN) has created a black hole that devours the planet Earth, but from here I have not clear whether the southern hemisphere remains (the web Clarín, which came in with some frequency is online , so it seems that there is).

And before all this confluence of nonsense and purposes, I'm going to talk about a subject as important as choosing my favorite James Bond.

river I do not mourn. As many readers know, I have a paid job and not badly paid (not to kill, but not to mourn) since recently. Found in crisis (recession according to the OECD, EU and worldwide global repeat), which has its merits. Therefore I have reason to laugh while many mourn newly unemployed Cry, cry the owners of flats to them each month Euribor rises, cry real estate and construction companies ... I cry almost every least, that I've cried enough over the past two years.

And I do not cry (for now), I will be talking about inconsequential Sir agent created by Ian Fleming. If anyone would stress out because I'm glad. If the majority does not care, because I am also. I will return to be important in future deliveries.

history of James Bond film begins, as any follower of the series knows, the early sixties. Now every time I see one of those old movies, I realize how badly they have aged. The bad guy is always a man bald (Spectra leader ) petting a white Persian cat, and many of the scenes take place in underground caves with little trains that remind me of the Swiss Mountain Mount Donosti Igueldo. Maybe in 1962 in the Cold War space race and in full could impress the spectators, but today it is extremely outdated. Seem an Austin Powers movie with bald and all.

The bald and gives a hit man repeated to the letter, as in submarine movies. "Change container 2" ... " Change the container 2 "repeats a metallic voice." Initiate launch capsule XP56 "..." Initiate launch capsule XP56, repeated again boring assistant. " Collect cat pee " listless affects the bad, very bad bald Spectra honcho ... "Pick cat pee, repeat the faithful acolyte while his voice would suggest a fear that there were about a henchman with his silver helmet, his monkey red, white boots ... and a mop handy to catch the albino cat filth of the head.

Sean Connery is definitely the best actor who has portrayed Bond. But in my opinion this does not becomes the best agent 007 in the series. The Scot Connery had the opportunity to show the piece of actor that is ... but in other movies and at other times. From " The Man Who Would Be King " the third of Indiana Jones, Connery is a great actor at the time of playing Bond was at the beginning of his career, and it shows.

A Connery was replaced briefly the Australian George Lazenby. A single delivery " Secret Service of His Majesty " served to demonstrate that however much we hate the English, 007 must embody an actor born in Belgravia or Mayfair. Or at least it seems. The Australian film behaves like a kangaroo looking trash on the outskirts of Alice Springs, and only the huge pin fashion at the time allow us to distinguish it from a marsupial. Many people know this Bond film series, one of the few in which Spain appears as part of the stage. In particular a Spain Tardofranquismo with donkeys in the streets of a town called next to the village on the outskirts of Madrid where he lived a hired murderer. Because Madrid does not actually go: To see Spain is to wait for the season and see Pierce Brosnan as Bond kills Bilbao a Swiss banker in " The World Is Not Enough " with Sophie Marceau.

Lazenby After the shooting, was "The Holy " Roger Moore. Possibly the hieratic actor of all who have played Bond. However, we must recognize that it has been the most "British" of them all. Largely because so phlegmatic that voice actor responsible for the dubbing in Spain, no less than Constantino Romero. But his original voice was "very 007."

Throughout the seventies and eighties of Roger Moore was a good Bond that we left some of the best films of the series. Some factual mistakes, such as official car incorporating a Lotus Esprit submarine memorable scenes marred "Octopussy" , " Man with the Golden Gun " with a great Christopher Lee in the role murderer's Scaramanga, or " The Spy Who Loved Me ." But Moore rushed leaving the paper too evident in his latest film "View to a Kill " that it was too old to jump from continent to continent seducing KGB spies, and that he was too fat for the role despite putting gut hold your breath to turn blue. Behind him came the unfortunate Timothy Dalton.

Actror theater, Dalton made a promising debut in "The living daylights " ... but there he stood. The following supplies were the worst of the series, with a badass Bond women and tacky paste and mixed with Colombian traffickers coca. Regrettable.

After two sequels insufferable with Timothy Dalton, finally arrived in my humble opinion was the best Bond Series: Pierce Brosnan.

I do not mind admitting that I would have the style and the "touch of class " Brosnan. I do not know the times I've seen some of his films as " The Thomas Crown " just to see him there, with his impeccable suit cut to size in Milan by Gianni Campagna. There was also Rene Russo, but how a gentleman can help noticing the clock impeccable Reverso Jaeger Le-Coultre that Brosnan looked distracted aboard his Bentley? Surely is the only film (with the exception of Casablanca ) in which one looks more on the actor than actress. And you gentlemen did confess also. While Rene Russo.

Brosnan began his career 007 with a major handicap: BMW was the official car in the first three films of his time. If I remember correctly, a Z3 in the first, a Series 7 (?) In the second, and a Z8 in the third. What the Z8 was something else: For the car lovers hurt us to see a car worthy of Bond sectioned along through the hills that hung from helicopters on the outskirts of Istanbul, " The world is not enough and ". Fortunately, his last film recovered the classical and Aston Martin was again the official car of 007: In particular a Vanquish, a beautiful car in front but never conveció behind me, the end of the Zagato is Pininfarina.

But be honest: These costumes bespoke Brioni of cut into the Via Barberini, Rome, those shirts Turnbull & Asser on Jermyn Street stitched, these shoes John Lobb ... spies and seduced me too impressive. And that his partner was none other than Halle Berry ... and that is too big. Although I am left with Miranda Frost, the blonde bad-very bad fencing master.

In "Casino Royale" , Daniel Craigh debut in the role completely disappointed me. Apart from the grace to take the names of characters and situations that apocryphal Bond movie starring David Niven, which embodied a 007 retiree who spent half the movie wearing a silk robe cashmere drawings (if I remember correctly), the most notable is the city of Venice, omnipresent in the Bond saga ... and of course the presentation of the Aston Martin DBS . If the best of the film is the car (not recently), and ignore Brionis, Turnbulls, martini-shaken-not-stirred ( Shaken, Not Stirred ) and other paraphernalia aesthetic Craigh not realize that Bond is a man with a lot of muscle, but not 007. To see this guy I'd rather see one of the three installments of Bourne, although Aston Martin will not keep you tied to the screen until the movie ends.

arrives in a few months " Quantum of Solace," the latest Bond with Daniel Craigh again embody our favorite agent: I'm afraid once again be the best cars (returns DBS), the costumes and girls. Unfortunate, the only series of films that my friends and I (all perfectly straight) you look much more in it than in them, though of course we all comment how good movies are Bond girls and how impressive were the Aston Martin. And repeating this "Bond, James Bond."
