A letter from my Inner Fanboy

Dear Blogger Readers.

Thank you for stopping by and reading this entry.  This blog is not being written by Will himself but rather me, his inner fan boy.

Did you pause? Comic con was a few weeks ago with their pop culture extravaganza announcements.  Disney’s expo is next month with a scheduled Star Wars presentation.  The question is why am I geeking out today?

The answer is the debut of the full length trailer for Spectre.  I know people who get excited for the comic book movies and to an extent I do as well.  However they interest me more as event cinema and I am excited for Star Wars.  After all though none of those hold a flame to the greatest spy Mr James Bond.

I stayed up way to late to watch the debut of the trailer.  It came online at approx 3am.  Why 3 am?  That’s because it made its debut in the UK at 8am local time.  Time traveling back the five hour time difference makes it 3 am here in North Carolina.

I must of watched it half a dozen times before turning off the computer and bonding with the inside of my eye lids.

I loved everything about the trailer.  I love that it featured appearances from the new M, Moneypenny, & Q and of course show cased the return of Daniel Craig as the super spy.  The action teases where excited me as well.  The return of Sam Mendez (Skyfall) to the directors chair tells me he knows what he is doing.

This one features plenty of homages to the 007 features of yesteryear.  Live & Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun were both represented.  They are my two favorites of the Roger Moore era.  The music was a slight remix of the music from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, my favorite film in the history of the fifty plus year franchise.  Also Daniel Craig sported the same tux style that Sean Connery did in Diamonds are Forever.  Exciting!!

Then of course there is SPECTRE itself.  The organization returns for the first time since Sean Connery was being tailored for the Bond tux.  The film looks to continue to explore the past of Bond.  It makes since that the organization bent on world domination would return. 

I conclude with Christoph Waltz.  He was featured more in this trailer.  It’s perfect casting him as a Bond villain.  Time will tell if he will be portraying the ultimate nemesis Blofeld.

Is it Nov 6 yet?

Sincerely 

Will’s inner fanboy.
