On Thursday afternoon we went and watched the new Bond flick, Quantum of Solace at Chinook. I guess I liked it. It had a lot more action than Casino Royale, but it was hard to see. It seems cool for movies now to use jerky camera shots and fast editing, so you know something is happening but you just can't see it. It's like two guys are fighting, but the edits are so quick you can't tell who is hitting who. But forget the movie, the real story was at the concession stand.
I got my usual movie snack of nachos. I always get cheese, salsa, and jalapenos, so when the guy asked if I wanted all three I said "Yes". The nacho tray has a reservoir in one corner and another one in the opposite corner. Usually, they'll fill one spot with cheese, the other with salsa and then sprinkle the jalapenos right on top of the nachos. The guy that did my tray obviously likes to do things a bit differently as when he brought the tray over I couldn't even tell if it had any nachos in it. Both spots were filled with cheese, the nachos were covered in cheese, then salsa and finally like half a pound of jalapenos to top it off. It was beautiful and horrifying at the same time.
I went over to the supply area to get a straw for my drink and grab a pile of napkins. I had to wipe cheese from my tray as it was already dripping over the edge. Once we sat down I starting eating nachos right away. I didn't even have to dip any of them in the cheese as most had cheese or salsa or both already on them. I had to shake jalapenos off a few chips as I had way too many. Even though I was eating them pretty fast after a while the nachos were all soft from being drenched in cheese. I did eat the all the nachos, but left both cheese reservoirs full and a ton of jalapenos in the tray. The best part was that I ate that huge mess without spilling anything on myself. That's an real accomplishment for me considering today at lunch I spilled blueberry yogurt on both my shirt and tie and had to change. The shirt can be washed, but the tie has to be dry cleaned. That sucks.

we went last night and saw 007,
I agree with the shakey cam bits.
plus there was a distinct lack of train chases.. car-check, motorbike-yes, boat-yes, plane-yup..
the story was a little too connected to the last one too, when the credits started there were alot of 'what did he say?', 'what does that mean?
Yeah, QOS is the first true sequel in the James Bond franchise. I think it picks up like 30 minutes after the Casino Royale ended. So if you didn't see the first one, then you won't know what a lot of the characters are talking about.
Yeah, but did you get nachos??
no nachos. the line was longer for the goodies than it was for admission.. plus we were just out for dinner.
are you going to cranbrook for christams?
You sound like my mom! I will probably be back in Cranbrook for Christmas. I say probably because I actually haven't asked for the time off yet. Of course I'll let you know when I know for sure.
i mean, we push all those losers out of the way, knocked someones grandma over, bought a bunch of popcorn, spilled it all over the place, then went outside to do donuts in the parking lot.
does that sound more badass?
