If you'd like to eat before the movie, starting 5.15, at Xiao Loong, note "dinner" in your RSVP. Non-diners, we'll see you at the theater at 6:30 PM. Showtime is 7pm.
The reviews have been spectacular -- with many critics calling it the "Best Bond ever!" (see Rotten Tomatoes, if you don't believe it), and who can resist a movie where the hero survives a huge train crash, and still has the aplomb to shoot his French cuffs, before proceeding?

Daniel Craig is back as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
We can go for drinks after the movie.
Yelp sez West Portal Squat & Gobble is closed, burned.

I tried calling it and there's an operator message saying the number has been changed and giving me the Lower Haight location's number. So, yeah.
(Also, don't know if I'll make dinner at 5:15, but 5:30, sure, if the venue works out.)

Don't waste your time. The new Bond has no personality at all, the plot is implausible, women unsexy and there are many easier ways to kill the nasty , old bat.
Plus they messed up one of my favorite cities for a mindless, overly long chase scene.
