Thunderball

It almost feels unfair to even post about a movie I only half watched. It does seem, however, that the Bond producers learned their lesson: setting a large share of a movie under water is Just Not Very Interesting, let alone exciting.

I ended up, during the "big fight scene" near the end, reading Little Dorrit, a Dickens novel that may very well end up becoming one of my favorite books. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. Yes, it looks daunting, at more than eight hundred pages, but it's funny and incisive and ever so much better than something with which it has so little in common, aside from being British in origin: Thunderball.
