New James Bond = Daniel Craig.

I like how he seduced horse woman by just staring at her in an intense, neanderthal manner.

Right after they announced that Craig was to be the new Bond, I rented "Layer Cake" and watched it twice in a row, back to back. Loved it. I then went out and bought the first two books - Casino Royale and Live and Let Die. Upon finishing Casino Royale at the office on a SLOW day of work, I walked home, and found myself (as often happend around that time) in a bar where I knew the bartenders quite well. I propositioned them to make me the Vesper, which they did. And then followed it by three more. Add on top of that a rather enourmous dinner, and I was feeling absolutely no pain whatsoever. I walked home. After a botched attempt to speak to a lost Moroccan in French, I made my way up my street to my apartment and sit down on the couch to begin reading "Live and Let Die." I made it about two pages in, and pass out with the book in my lap. About an hour later, or so I'm told, my brother and his girlfriend-at-the-time come home (he was staying with me then). I carried on a lucid, but drunk conversation with them as the dropped off some stuff and got ready to go out. As they were leaving, I whispered to my brother "You hhhaaaaffff to khilll hhherrrr....Ssssheesh an enemy agshent..."

Translation: " You have to kill her. She's an enemy agent. "

I no longer drink martinis.

btw, I picked up a huge stack of Fleming at a used book shop for about $26 the other day, including a $6 hardcover with Live and Let Die, Moonraker and Diamonds Are Forever.

The other paperbacks are: For Your Eyes Only, Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Octopussy, another copy of Casino Royale for a friend who saw the movie with me but hasn't read it, and some weird 1965 Bond overview called 007 James Bond: A Report by O.F. Snelling.

Also scored a hardcover first edition of John Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy for $4.

the whole mission -- win money off terrorist banker -- doesn't make sense. why not just kill the banker and seize his assets?

which is fine only they try to give bond human emotions and stuff. i like that bond rescues le chiffre from the african guys.

writer comes off like a total loser.

I didn't know you're supposed to pronounce it Eva GRIN, either.

at least she maybe looks a little more like that dead girl.

Latebloomer you never saw the Dreamers?

Anyway lb next time you watch Casino Royale, you can totally hear her accent around the 'r's and such, but she does ok.

WTF @ building at the end?

OTM... This was fine, except I don't like poker or balls-torture in 007 films. Or, as fine as Craig-Green chem was (I liked the Veronica Broadchest or whatever line), kinda aping the tragic Diana Rigg thing from OHMSS.

Keep the next one under 130 minutes and I might pay $11 to see it.

except I don't like poker or balls-torture in 007 films

In other contexts both are acceptable?

no. but I don't encounter them in other contexts (I vet my dates).

They need to shoot movies in color again.

and the next villain is Mathieu Amalric:

excellent -- amalric is awes.

So, they are going PC by casting a euro white as the voodoo lord of the New Orleans underground.

no. but I don't encounter them in other contexts (I vet my dates).

No I was drunk. Do you have aspergers?

No, I'm bored.

Almaric should be silky.

And, as a probable Oscar nominee, "bankable."

oh, what the Bana team of Munich has come to...

i hear seth rogen is playing a henchman.

will he ever get a Q and/or Moneypenny? I nominate David Thewlis and Parminder Nagra

thewlis a bit too obvious?

He should play the part in Mike Leigh/Naked mode.

Everyone should get a Parminder Nagra.
