We cut the cable/satellite cord several years ago. It was expensive and we just didn't watch it that much. Our idea of video entertainment is anything we can get for free. Broadcast television has some stuff. Jeopardy and the nightly news (I call it the scary news) are on Ginny's agenda, but not mine. As for videos, we watch free stuff (like on YouTube) and we check out videos from the library, which is free. We don't subscribe to any streaming service.
Anyway, we got a coupon for a free rental from Red Box (free is good). I went to the web site and scrolled through hundreds of available movies. There was only one I was interested in, "No Time to Die," the new Bond film. So I watched it (Ginny had no interest) and was very disappointed. It was the usual fights, shoot'em ups, miraculous escapes and Bond getting the crap beat out of him. ***Spoiler Alert, don't read further if you are going to watch the movie.*** The real problem with the whole thing is that Bond gets killed. I guess that is the end of the franchise. The first film, Dr. No, came out 60 years ago. Quite a run for this character. One possible twist, it was revealed that Bond has a daughter. Hmmm
