...Apparently you need to stay to the end of the credits to see a snippet that helps either make sense of some things or helps set up the possibility of an X4. Allison wouldn't say anything else because she thought anything more would be a spoiler.
Of course knowing the geekdom resources of most on this blog, you probably all know this already ;-)

From the Vancouver Sun:
Truly, these must be the last days: James Bond will drive a Ford in his next movie. Product placement has a lot to answer for, but this is the limit. The Sun, in England, says Ford has paid something like $25 million US to get Bond into a Mondeo for some chase scenes, and also a romantic one. It could be worse, if Ford had wanted to pay more 007 might be driving an Escort
Ewww!

So Gladys told me I needed to post this. There's a charity preview screening of ROTK in Palm Springs this Friday and my ticket was here waiting for me when I got back from Vancouver. Sir Ian will be there too (probably not hard to get him to hang in Palm Springs for the weekend :-)) and I'll post anything interesting/important on the weekend (with spoilers of course).

Open question to all the geeks out there: One of our undergrads has a class assignment to find a movie that depicts molecular biology (might be able to stretch it to biochemistry too) in some way and then critique how well the movie depicts the science. Is it plausible? Why or why not?
