Thanks, 007 - Birth. Movies. Death.
I saw Spectre last night, and that's all we need to say. But while we're talking Bond, Phil Noble's personal story about seeing Casino Royale over at Birth. Movies. Death. is an interesting tale:
Although engaging the films with an adult, critical eye for the first time was rewarding in all kinds of new and interesting ways, under it all was a strange, primal sense of connection. There was a tangible sense of reaching back in time and restoring what my father and I did together twenty-plus years earlier. I felt like part of a continuum, enjoying this thing my dad enjoyed, and enjoying it in his stead.
