interesting to read this thread after 9 months.

a lot has happened to me since...

what i failed to mention is that after opening night with my wife, i took my girl friend/lover/partner-in-an-affair to see DAD the following night (TWICE!):)

a week later my wife and i separated.

two weeks after that, said girl friend moved into my new condo. (still harbouring ill feelings, i may add, for taking my WIFE to see DAD on opening night INSTEAD of HER!)

1 month after that, said girl friend (who'd once been a stripper in her early 20s, i later found out) trashed my place as well as my BMW and had to have a restraining order placed against her.

Oh, there's soo much more juicy stuff...but i'd need a month to type it out.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, i'd seen DAD 6 times in total during this tumultous time

Die Another Day kept me going during a very bitter-sweet period in my life.

it will remain an UNFORGETABLE movie for me.

as James Bond, i will (and have) return(ed) !!!!

Wow, ray t, the stories some people have to tell! I hope that part of your year wasnt all bad. It certainly adds a bit of colour to your life.

May I ask why she saw fit to trash your Beemer and your pad?

Jerry! Jerry!

I can't say much about my opening night with Bond 20. I saw it two times - the first by myself to take it in and the second with my friends to revisit it and form my opinion. I still think it's a great film.

well...she was on anti-depressants AND was doing a lot of drinking (1 bottle of red wine an evening) and smoking pot...not the type of thing that i'd encourage (being an investment banker and all)...needless to say she would get all moody. i had had enough of her bad behaviour - from x-mass eve to mid january - and told her to pack up and leave...she refused...things got, *AHEM*, 'heated' (not helped by my wife holding my daughter as a 'trump' card with respect to the misbehaving girlfriend) and i called the police. the psyco-chic blew her top and trashed everything in sight and kicked the sides of the BMW in and smashed the front windshield for good measure:D

all is well...wife has become a good friend (especially since psycho-chic is out of the picture)....and have a new (normal) girlfriend with a mouth, eyes, *** and legs to die for:cool:

BTW learned two things:

1...infidelity is NOT a good thing

2...you can take the girl out of the strip club, but u can NEVER take the strip club out of the girl

I was dragged to a Strip Club in San Diego once with 4 guys and another girl... I was hoping that we wouldn't get in because the other girl was underage, but alas we did get in... I spent the whole time drinking alcohol up the ying-yang and making out with one of the guy because I really didn't want to be there in the first place.

not that you needed to know that or anything... *i'm bored*

Nearly four years later, and I pull up this incredible tale of the ultimate movie premier. I first read it back when it was freshly written and enjoyed it as much now as I did then!

I know the main characters involved in this story are all headed for Las Vegas by this time, but was wondering if there are similar big plans for 11.17.06 and the first outing of Mr D. Craig?
