James Bond + Daniel Craig + Sam Mendes + Panoramic Cinematography + Beats = SPECTRE




Have you ever noticed that if you're in a good mood, you tend to be receptive to being entertained?  That was the magic of a date with Hunkster Hubster and a movie, going home to him making Tacos.  Can life get any better?  Certainly, from the opening sequence with the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico, the vibe and energy was outstanding!

Well from this side of the theatre, life was grand indeed.  I admit, that sprouting love spirits date night with movies, holding hands, and laughter.  Hunkster Hubster and I haven't been married 10 years yet.  We went on a vacation, blended a family of teenagers, and weathered their theatrics together.  We were living on the edge then, just like Daniel Craig's appealing James Bond character with the outstanding talent of Director, Sam Mendes firmly planted as the film's visionary.  




I don't want to ignore the fact that if it wasn't the imagineering of Ian Flemming, this force of movie franchise would never have been started.  It blends the tradition of a great story with the seat-jumping startling action and effects.

Like the splendid, beautiful glory of the cinematographer's canvass that unfolds before us.  It is like the franchise itself, similarly, are gliding into the sunset with the right person or audience by its side.  

I did jump a few times, unexpectedly being jolted to the magnetizing special effects and Cinematography Graphic Illustrations (CGI) -- that may not be the exact acronym definition, but it works for me.  Forbes took a look behind the scenes of the Sony movie.




Admitally, my radar sensors did go up when I was at HP (Hewlett-Packard) and it was sharing with its global world wide tech/engineering workforce of the highest magnitude, was telling us how HP was fueling the emerging technology of movie and image blending to catapult into the stratosphere while everyone else had their eye off the biggest ball, all chasing after DATA and CLOUD.

I will vere back to my original topic.  (At least you know what others perceive or drives family crazy, is how I can jump from a story into a side topic and then jump back with "anyway, as I was saying, don't interrupt me verbage".

What this Blog amounted to was celebrating the phase in life that you're in, regardless of age.  There are sunrises and sunsets, with the odd fireworks that will eventually settle into a comfortable, companionable, non-dramatic life.  Sharing those previous hectic and often crazy times, made a bond that is simply amazing.  Without the stress of being a parent together, and each other's biggest ally and trusted advisor, we could be the leaning post, non-interfering when the other has to deal with a child issue.




It all takes turns.  We go from being serene, to splendidly entertained, then satisfyingly fulfilled in having a quiet moment to share in peace and harmony.  We sure went over mountains together and apart, to start coasting on the other side.  No longer reaching impatiently to what life had in store, but settling contently that sure there are things you may have wanted to avoided or changed, but this part in our lives, is certainly not one of them.  Take a few minutes out, turn up the volume, lean back and just listen to this:

Just saw this this afternoon and utterly entertaining, superb and unravelling of the talent involved on one of the best for 2015 in Spectre.  You can't miss the remarkable cinematography with panoramic backdrops that make you feel you are right on the set.  We sure forgot fast what the true movie experience is all about.  We've gone from theatres to televisions to HD to mega movies in a blink of an eye.  This sure makes me feel somehow, how grateful it feels to be thankful to be in my 50s.  Not fighting the uphill climb anymore, still magnificent in many ways, reaching in to the creativity that has long bubbled beneath us.  The suffocation similar lyrics in this song, is highly relatable.  #Spectre #JamesBond #DanielCraig #danielcraig  #Sam Mendes (not yet registering on the stratosphere identity plugger powerhouse of Google.  #Spectre is at the bottom of a viral sensation upward vertical curve.

 5 out of 5 *Stars for this brilliantly entertaining movie that will appeal to the masses.
