As you may have noticed, a new James Bond movie opened last weekend. Sony executives are celebrating Quantum of Solace's $70 million opening - the biggest for any Bond movie - by snorting gold-plated cocaine atop a palanquin borne by castrated former Viacom employees, but we at Hair Balls are quietly pondering the important question. Namely, how does QoS stack up against other 007 flicks? Let's have a look, using the categories we exhaustively researched last week:
Bond Girl

We're not saying the Somali pirates are bad at their job, exactly; just
that it doesn't take a lot of skill to take over ships when you're the
only guys with guns. They showed the extent of their foresight most
recently by hijacking some American ships, thus rousing the sniper-y
might of the United States Navy. While they plot their next move, here
are some fellow unfortunate buccaneers to keep them company.5. The Pirate Movie (1982)
This is the first movie I ever walked out of. Of course, "wa
1968 might have been - at least politically - one of the most turbulent years of the '60s.

Memorial High, the west-side bastion of education for suburbanites, is riling up the women at the website Jezebel.And with good reason.Someone sent the site a t-shirt apparently produced for their annual game with Stratford: It features two horses (Memorial's teams are the Mustangs) having sex with a woman wearing a fairy or elf costume. What that has to do with the Stratford Spartans, we're not sure, but in case the message isn't clear the shirt reads "Memorial Towers Over Stratford: F'n
If nothing else, at least there's eye candy...Oh, FlashForward. If you were a person, you would be the really eager dyslexic kid who wants to make daddy proud but just can't make the homework make sense. And just like that situation, there's a way to fix the problem and make everything work, but if you don't fix it, you're gonna get canceled/kicked out of TV school.
