SPECTRE spoilers

Just got back from the new Bond movie SPECTRE. About two thirds of the way through it, I realized that it's major plot points were ripped off from the last Austin Powers movie.

A good Bond movie if you can get that out of your mind.

Have to admit to not watching the last one after the bathroom humor of the second one crossed one too many lines for my tastes.

I still prefer the 60s and 70s Bond films. All of Connery, Lazenby's one, and the first couple of Moore's. The new ones take themselves far too seriously.
