On the way in, we noticed the counter where they were dishing out boxes of free popcorn and drinks. [...]

Today, we watched Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond 007 film. Starring Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.
Everyone who watched it must be thinking, “this movie is so exciting…” and so on. But at the same time, they must be thinking, “it was exciting but why is there something bugging me about this show?”.
