AGH! Was that flicker not fantastic? I seriously had all the love for that movie.

It was! I love the direction they've taken the Bond films in since Craig took over as Bond. Just ludicrous enough, with a strong plot and excellent acting and emotional involvement. I love the Bond franchise, but these feel like the best of both worlds. Lots of action and a good deal of heart.

What I liked about it was not only backstory on Bond, but how the whole movie was basically about violence against women, and how Bond will not stand for it. Yeah, it was an action flick, but it also had what I thought was a really powerful message.

I had seen a few things on tumblr (a land of angry, angry people) about it being a very sexist movie, and misogynistic in its portrayal of the women involved, and I sort of didn't see that at all. I thought all three main women in the story were strong in their own way. Especially in comparison to some of the women we've seen Bond around over the years. It's a step forward at least.

I'm with you. And I like your impression of tumblr; that, combined with their complete disregard for the Fourth Wall, is why I keep very securely to my little fiefdom on lj and AO3.

LJ is full of relatively sane people, and I will make my home here forever. Tumblr is a scary place if you wander around too far, but you can usually make a nice little corner for yourself, if you build a good security system and an bunker for emergency purposes. It's just never a good idea to walk around in any tag of any sort. There will always be someone there spreading hate about the thing you like that will either make you irrationally angry, or ashamed for liking it in the first place.

LJ is a much kinder place.
