Bond Bad News Item #1: The next James Bond movie has been delayed. INDEFINITELY!

"Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on 'Bond 23' indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of 'Bond 23,'" stated Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli jointly.

Bond Bad News Item #2: Though you may find many successes in love, life, family and career, those days of going to your friend's house after school and playing Goldeneye for hours on end will remain some of the best times of your life, and while you can always dust off your console and revisit the game now, the responsibilities and maturity of adulthood will inevitably dilute the pure, simplistic enjoyment that once came so easily--and it's gone, forever.

Which news is worse depends on how much you like Bond movies and the degree to which you've come to terms with your childhood slipping away.
