 :( I haven't seen Die Another Day yet...  But I want to soooooo bad!!  Everyone said it was so cool, but my dad hasn't taken me to see it yet.   :-/
Can anyone tell me if there are any "bad parts"??  Like stuff that would be inappropiate for a 14-year-old?  lol

But....  I love Madonna's song that goes with the movie!!!!  Die Another Day   ;D

The bed scene with Jinx was longer than it needed to be, but was mainly implication and not very graphic. Bond also sleeps with the other girl, but I don't remember them even showing it at all.

All Bond's enemies would have to do to kill this guy is to invent some virulent strain of super-herpes.  This guy's had more one-nighters than Bill Clinton.

There was an SNL sketch a few years back that covered just that...

I think that when MI6 first recruited Bond they injected him with a concoction that rendered him immune to all STDs.  

On a slightly related topic, how do you all feel that XXX stacks up to the James Bond films?  it was billed as being "totally different" from any other spy movie ever made, and yet to me it seemed like a rehash of half a dozen Bond films.  Any thoughts?

It was sort of a rehash, but they made very little attempt at being a "spy" movie and threw themselves into the "action hero" movie. So while it wasn't a blatant ripoff of Bond, I certainly wouldn't call it totally different. Bourne Identity was much more creative, despite all the spy cliches they used.
