Here it is folks – the final push towards Christmas! In less than a week’s time, the Magic Bearded Arbiter will sneak into our homes and either reward us with gifts or punish us with lumps of fossil fuel. Hopefully the Bearded Arbiter wasn’t looking when you cheated on your taxes, ran a red light, or didn’t tip the waitress because she didn’t preemptively refill your coffee.

But chances’re are that your ass is busted. There’s no hiding from Santa. He sees you when you’re sleeping.

So on that note, welcome to the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! This is the spot where we meet up to discuss the various bits of entertainment we’ll be relying on to get us through the hellish gauntlet that is the workweek. However, most of us are probably going to be giving half-assed performances at our jobs this week, more interested in cakes and candies and parties than punching in from 9-5. With that being said, last-minute shopping and party-planning carry their own unique brands of stress, and we’ll still need something to get us through.

C’mon, fly down the chimney and I’ll show you what’ll be occupying my mind this week!

The next James Bond flick, Skyfall, is going to be a standalone. This tantalizes my taint. I want my Bond flicks to be self-contained techno-sexual-suave wankfests.

Daniel Craig is a hunky guy, and a great James Bond. So I’ll let him slide for not being an excellent writer. Dude says that the script for Quantum arrived just hours  before the Great Writer’s Strike of 200-something, leaving them in a bit of a pinch.

Good god, Christopher Nolan would love to take a stab at a Bond flick:

via bbc and slashfilm:

I’ve loved the Bond films since I was a kid. For me, they’re always about the expansiveness of cinema. The first Bond films set up infinite possibilities about the world they create. I’d love to do a Bond film.

Christopher Nolan is my boy! My fucking homeboy. I want his Inception more than I want a Diet Mountain Dew. And I’m positively tremulous from lack of caffeine right now! Just kidding! Duh. I’m seeing the eyes of God amidst a pile of emptied aluminum.

I love Daniel Craig as Bond, and I’ve loved his two flicks in the role. And this is all despite the fact that I have almost no clue about what happened in the flicks due to the knotty, non-sensical plots. Can you imagine if Nolan and his brother got a crack at the universe and a script?

Yes please.
