I was in our US office today and at the end of the day I had few hours to kill and
a few Mbps of Internet pipe. So I made the best use - watch some videos in Hulu.com.
For those of you who are outside USA, Hulu is promoted by NBC and News Corp media
houses, that has only legal videos and tons of it - including popular TV shows like
"The Simpsons" & "The Office". These are supported by naturally
advertisements.
While browsing I came across this movie "Casino
Royale (1967)" which was said to be a spoof on the original James Bond movie.
I didn't know this was a real movie, I assumed it to be a short fun clip but it turned
out to be a 2 hour full movie. This is an all-star 1967 spoof of Ian Fleming's 007.
David Niven comes as the aging Sir James Bond, called out of retirement to take on
the organized threat of SMERSH. After watching the movie which was fun I
learned about its creation - which involved 5 Directors, 6 James Bonds and
one of the James Bonds' Peter Sellers leaving in between.
Note: Hulu I guess is accessible only in North America due to geographical limits
of its copyright reach.
