I saw an interview with Nick Park yesterday where he said that he really wasn't all that bothered, and couldn't understand why everyone was making such a fuss, because when measured against what had just happened in Pakistan it was really nothing at all. A lovely and sensible chap, it seems.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
That parody totally made my day.

AUDIENCE: What?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
They've announced the new James Bond. And he's blond. And I've never seen him in anything.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Looks like they're going back to the action-adventure Bond and away from the suave lover in a tuxedo .

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Daniel Craig is more in the Sean Connery mold than the Pierce Brosnan. He has a tough persona, but he also played poet Ted Hughes in Sylvia, so he can do smart and passionate. I was very impressed with him in Layer Cake. He's one of those who doesn't look like much in pictures, but his intensity and voice and physicality make him very charismatic onscreen.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Saw the King Kong trailer before Serenity. Gotta say, it looks good on the big screen.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm actually pretty happy about the new Bond choice. I loved his character in Layer Cake. He'll do a good job of being believably dangerous.

I'm not sure why they're making a big deal out of his hair colour. It looks the same as Roger Moore's hair.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Daniel Craig!
I don't care really for the Bond franchise and cannot remember the last Bond flick I've seen, but I might just have to see the next one if he's going to be Bond.
I agree with Robin. He's not handsome in a conventional way, but in three films I've seen him in (Mother, Layer Cake, and Sylvia), he had an incredibly magnetic screen presence. Intense, a bit dangerous, and a generally sexy bag of sex.
