Did you see that Ford has sold off Aston Martin to a consortium? I don't know if that's good news or not.
In passing, IMHO the only reason for seeing that pathetic new Bond film (Casino Royale) is that it shows the latest Aston and also a DB5. I knew it was going to be bad when they chose a fair-haired, blue-eyes guy for Bond. They changed the baccarat game in the original Ian Fleming book for - gawd elp us - Texas Holdem poker, and even the sacred Bond martini is butchered - the new guy has them put some junk in like creme de cacao or something. And even the editing is bad; at one point Bond is in a crucial point in his card game with the evil LaFiche when suddenly he's waking down the hotel corridor, as if the film broke and they had to splice the ends together with something important left on the floor.
The rest is nothing more than the same old crash'em up and impossible fights as in any 3rd-rate movie. No subtlety, no nuances. No plot. No tension. No excitement. In short, no Sean Connery and no Bond. It was so bad that my wife looked at me 3/4 the way through and said "do we want to look at any more of this crap?" I said "no, and I can get it back to Blockbuster by midnight and get a $1 credit for an early return."
"How the mighty are fallen."

Looks like you've led a full life to say the least.
