The latest controversy surrounding the presidency of Barack Obama, his mom jeans.  Are you kidding me?  This is all you have to talk about?

Well, that says to me he must be doing a great job in office.  Another thing it says to me is that America is once again confused.

If Barack Obama takes his wife out on the town, the media jumps on him for showing off in a time when it’s not economically stable.  “He’s in office and he wants to have a good time while he’s there?  What a bad guy.”

So then, he chooses not to wear designer jeans to a baseball game and the media once again takes a different angle all together.  “Why isn’t he in designer jeans?  Why doesn’t our president look like the leader of the free world?”

Barack Obama, you do you!  I got your back.

By the way, it seems that not many people understood what I meant about James Bond in my last post.  So, I’ll try again.  I know that James Bond is supposed to have gadgets.  He’s supposed to have gadgets we don’t have and don’t know anything about.  A James Bond movie is supposed to open up our minds to possibilities in technology.

A cellphone and a laptop just doesn’t do it.

See, we have those things…

He needs to be talking through a cuff link while listening to his pen and getting on his twitter with a pair of glasses.  The keyboard and mouse are in his watch.  Get me now?

Show me something people!

James Bond 007, Casino Royale, seemed like it was time for me to catch up with the rest of the world and watch when it came on USA.  So, I’m watching the movie and there is a blaring flaw that I just can’t knock.  So, I started to do my research and came up with the notion that Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond series as a fantasy of the man he wished he could have been.

So then why if Casino Royale was the first James Bond book Fleming wrote and the movies that were later made reflected real life signs and times, then why would they have computers and cell phones in a world that would seem to be 1953?  Didn’t anyone else catch this major flaw?

I think we lose ourselves in fantasy too many times and forget what is supposed to be happening on the screen.  But, setting and reality have always been scrutinized heavily by the media if the producer and director wasn’t on top of things.

A phone in a Benjamin Franklin movie would be a glaring discrepancy.

A helicopter landing in a caveman movie would be a huge embarassment.

Why are there computers and cellphones in Casino Royale ?
