Lest I forget, Judi Dench is HOTT.
OMG YES!
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Dude, I cannot get my boss to believe that. I am so glad that others see the HOTT that is Dame Judi.

Mrs. Henderson. Very HOTT.
I haven't watched the trailer yet but I'm taking the buffistas' word for it. I've been on Daniel Craig's side since I first heard because of my extreme love for Layer Cake. I think he'll make a wonderful Bond and I want to in-your-face to the people at craigsnotbond.com.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
does anyone else do that? Put movies on instead of music?
Yes, though I normally only do it when I'm going to be spending a lot of time in my living room/kitchen area, like when I'm washing dishes. I'll also fire up stuff on the DVR that I can follow without having to keep a constant eye on the TV.

Always Anti-fascist!
I was skeptical, you know, cause it's what I do, and I've seen most of the Bonds and all, but I'd probably see it based on the trailer I saw the other night.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think he'll be a completely capable Bond (while still nursing a slight grudge over the way Brosnan was booted). The best thing is Casino Royale is an actual Ian Fleming story that's thankfully lacking satellite weapons systems or opportunities for Denise Richards to play a nuclear physicist.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
for a guy who was getting guff for his will-o-the-wispiness
Really, he was? I thought he looks pretty normal, as actors go. They were hoping for Lou Ferigno??
he looks like rougher trade than Clive Owen has been.
He was rough in Layer Cake (a smug little dislikeable movie, with a couple of good notes), and then I saw him as a South African Zionist agent (who wore tight pants and gold chains!!) in Munich. Nice to think that Bond might have range.
Still not convinced that there won't be some true idiocy in there somewhere, but likable idiocy beats unlikable hands down.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Count me in with Cash in liking Layer Cake.
Just got back from seeing Half Nelson. The movie is too long, but Ryan Gosling was AMAZING. A really impressive performance--you really see the way addiction inexorably progresses and how that erodes his personality. I was also thrilled to see classroom scenes where they got it right--the teacher sounded like a teacher and the kids behaved like actual kids. There was no comedic banter or character-defining lines.

Oooh, I saw the CR trailer when I went to see SoaP. I thought it looked like fun, but what interested me the most is that it looks like they're actually going back to when Bond became a double-Oh. I didn't pay enough attention to the trailer to see if they tried to make it look like it was set in the past or if they still stick with a contemporary storyline. I'm a little leery of that, but it would explain the lack of Star Wars like satellite weapons. I'm wondering who they'll have play Q? The scenes in the trailer played by fast enough, I don't remember that much from it. Just, new. pretty. Bond!
