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!

Hey. New board.
I just visited craigsnotbond.com and it says "We 100% support Daniel Craig as the next James Bond"
Did somebody sneak in and buy the domain name, or did they all change their mind when the trailer came out, or am I just very confused?
Ah, there it is: danielcraigisnotbond.com is a hate campaign site now. Weird.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Does that qualify as fandom wank?

Thrive to spite them
The anti-Craig people showed up on fandom wank when the petition and website first went up but they haven't been any new activity since then. I'm sure that will change as it closer to Nov 17.

Do any of them think that a petition is going to have any effect when the movie's already filmed and about to be released everywhere?

Hey. New board.
Maybe they think Pierce Brosnan will be appreciative and give them all oral sex or something.

That's exactly what they're doing.

It's set in contemporary times. It's a complete reset, but they're not turning the clock back at all.

Awesome! We can start a whole new franchise without the cheese factor.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I like a lot about that trailer. At the very least, the marketing team for this movie understand what people want out of a Bond film.
My worry is that the pop psychology of What Makes Bond Bond will be annoyingly pat, but hopefully it will be keep to a minimum.
I saw The Covenant earlier this morning (DH is reviewing it, and I had nowhere better to be), and now I'm at work. Blech on both counts. (I think I would have enjoyed The Covenant more had the actors been even remotely distinguishable, but of the 5 guys, 3 of them look exactly alike. I think they were trying to make the hero and the villain mirror images or something, but the overall effect was that I couldn't tell them apart, and had no reason to care. It was like watching a cut-rate WB pilot.)

Jessica, is The Covenant going to make me laugh and laugh and laugh, much like The Craft did? Because if that's the case, I may not wait for DVD.
