More movies

yesterday we went to see Skyfall.  I think I enjoyed it a bit more than some of the older Bond movies, as this actually had a story line, with some thought behind it.  One of the concepts was whether the older ways of dealing with espionage  were as effective as the newer computer-based exchanges.  One way this was demonstrated in the movie was to have the older characters shown with every possible visual sign of aging.  I had to wonder if the wrinkles etc might even have been enhanced rather than concealed in the actors.  And, of course, the younger computer guy ("Q") was young enough to look like a high school kid.  After the show, we dropped into the casino and came out $500+ richer, so it really wasn't a bad day.
