Day 1894: Staring Contest

Friday:


Today, CUDDLY CTHULHU wants to watch the LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM. AGAIN!

And I want to watch DIE ANOTHER DAY. (Which I have NOT watched more than two or three or twelve times!)

So we are going to have a staring contest to decide who gets to watch the telly…



Blink, you fluffy fiend!

I'd surrender. Die Another Day is pish.

I'm with Cthulhu as well, White Worm is much better than Die Another Day.

this has, of course, nothing to do with evil naked Amanda Donohue. Honest.

Nor the fact that my Cuddly Cthulhu is glowering at me.

I liked the first half of Die Another Day a lot - almost like a '50s period piece Bond, done with considerable punch.

Then about half-way it went all over the top, used so much unconvincing CGI that it looked less believable than New Captain Scarlet (surely the whole point of ludicrous Bond stunts is that we know there are genuinely mad individuals genuinely carrying them out?), and Halle's 'quips' in particular were god-awful...

In the end it reminded me of one of those two-disc greatest hits compilations, where the first is the original stuff you bought it for and the second is a set of embarrassing remixes to try and 'sell' them to a modern audience.

I'm probably going to have to hide from Millennium now, let alone Cthulhu. And I should confess to having The Lair of the White Worm on tape (back-to-back with The Reptile, I suspect).
