Oops, How I Met Your Mother has done it again.
After its headline-grabbing stunt of recruiting Britney Spears as a guest star, the CBS comedy is now courting Heidi and Spencer of The Hills. Series co-creator Craig Thomas has confirmed that the infamous reality couple will appear on How I Met Your Mother, playing themselves.
Seriously, are ratings that bad?
Anyone who watches The Hills knows Heidi and Spencer can't act, despite Heidi's best attempts to act drunk ('I'm sooo wasted!') or show emotion. And watching the villainous Spencer practically twirl an imaginary mustache on The Hills is painful. Painful!
Heidi and Spencer are reportedly filming their scenes this week, and the episode is set to air in January.

Why? Who knows?
Then, after the ensuing introduction, Graves and Bond engage in a friendly fencing match -- okay, fine. But after Bond ups the ante with a controversial diamond from Graves's company, Graves insists they raise the stakes, fence with real swords, and choose a winner based on who draws blood first. They do so, and everyone simply watches for about 5 minutes before Graves's assistant steps in and stops the fight. This makes absolutely no sense. If I walked into a private gun range where Bill Gates was engaged in target practice, then challenged him to a duel at twenty paces with live ammunition, and nobody did anything to stop us, that MIGHT come close to what took place in the aforementioned scene.

If you can, with good conscience, chalk these up to subtle, innocent oversights, then consider what else Die Another Day offers. There's the poorly constructed set pieces that look like they were built by high school drama teams in their garages; there's Q branch's incredible leaps in technology, like a seamless virtual reality battle simulator and the infamous invisible car; there's Bond surfing on a tidal wave caused by a collapsing glacier; there's Graves's ice palace and electrified Nintendo Power Glove. I'm sorry, but when did they bring Joel Schumacher in to direct a Bond movie?
And what about the acting? Well, in all honesty, it wasn't that bad, but there also isn't a whole lot of opportunity for actors to emote in any of these Bond films
