Show A Little Respect.

Check out the new Bond hottness. (No, not that hottness, the other kind.)

Which is, ironically enough, the old Bond hottness. No, I'm not talking about back in the day when Connery rolled in an Aston Martin. (Yes, it is a nod to the days of yore. But technically Connery had a DB5, and the DBS was Lazenby. Stop distracting me, that's not what I'm talking about.)

The car in the upcoming Bond film will be the same one as in Casino Royale. How about this time you do something with it other than shock 007 into coherence and then crash it in a field? Hell, I can crash a bicycle in a field. (The only thing impressive about that stunt was the difficulty they had in flipping the DBS over. They ended up driving it over a jump and using an air ram to spin it. So while that's technically an after market Bond gadget, I'm not sure 'the ability to crash' is an upgrade I'd shell out for.)

So, note to producers:
Actually drive the car somewhere. Don't just smash it immediately for shock value. If you need to, rent Ronin. They've got a pretty badass chase scene in there. I'm not saying it can't crash up; but come on, let the stud stretch its legs before you take it to the glue factory.
