He came over on Sunday and was pretty shy then, but slowly he's getting used to us. Every time I come down the stairs he gallops over to me wagging his tale. Perhaps its cus I sit with him when I have to do some reading. More photos' and updates on his progress will follow for those who care.
Other than that I should be going to see the new 007 Movie tomorrow, and I'll let you know what I thought of it.
I liked Casino Royale and I'm interested to see if the new bond can bring enjoyment back to the brand. Because since Timothy Dalton, I haven't been impressed with a the movies that have been coming out in the series. I understand the need for product placement, but I found that in Pierce Brosnan's Bond films, the product placment was too in your face and up your nose, turning the experience into one big budget advert. I'm sure Aston Martin, Tag Heuer pay for quite a bit of the films production costs, which should result in a better film.
But don't make it so damn obvious, I'd be more willing to find out more about the product if it appeared like a phantom and was only alluded too in part.
I mean come on, we all live in the age of the internet. And what is more powerful than human curiosity. I think more people would be more interested in the products if they where only given enough information about them, to allow them to go to say a Aston Martin dealership or Tag Heuer store or even the movie's website to go and find out. From there you could educate the consumer about the product, convince him that its the best, and from there the concumer convinces his friends and family.
Anyways, thats for another post for another time.
Later

"Because since Timothy Dalton, I haven't been impressed with a the movies that have been coming out in the series."
First off, don't start sentences with because. Second off, Goldeneye is fucking awesome.
"I'm sure Aston Martin, Tag Heuer pay for quite a bit of the films production costs, which should result in a better film."
This is the single most flawed piece of logic I have ever been privy to. What are you saying? The the higher the budget, the better the film? That MGM are so hard up for cash, that unless someone is actually fishing a TAG Heuer watch out of my Grandaddy's asshole in some WWII epic, they can't get a film made? Come now.
I agree with you on the 'less is more' strategy with product placement, but anyone who buys something because *they saw James Bond using it* deserves to die in a fire anyways.

No. I find it to be frustrating actually.
