"Spectre," the latest outing of James Bond, 007, opens with a fistfight in a helicopter above a Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico City. It's cartoonish and harkens back to the days of Pierce Brosnan in the role 20 years ago. "20 years ago." Remember that time frame. You'll hear it a lot during the movie. In the universe of "Spectre," Bond is both a relic whose methods and morals have no place in the modern world and a man who was 12 years old "20 years ago." It's one of the many lazy incongruities in the movie. Some are big (there is no real plot), some are small (like characters changing clothes at odd times). You'll find yourself two hours into the mess (with 30 more minutes to go) thinking, "Who wrote this shit?"
