Last night I probably watched my last movie for awhile. The NHL regular season begins tonight and will occupy my evening viewing for the months through mid-June next year.
What flick did I see . . . again? The James Bond movie "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan. An early reel features a scene with several hovercraft engaged in a bumpercar-like skirmish. The heavily militarized craft involved were designed to float above a sea of land mines, thereby escaping a potential disastrous blow-up. Good fun to watch. But unlike the carnival rides we've all enjoyed, dangerous to be a participant. Not for our hero though. It's all in a day's work. He manages to survive, fulfilling the film's title and promising another profitable sequel.
