OMG Parkour is the coolest sport! Possibly also teh craxxiest. They do stuff like vault themselves up onto 2nd story baclonies, and then leap to another balcony, just because it is there.

Google video had a whole bunch of clips of it around Christmastime.

Parkour is nuts. THey featured that on Current.

I didn't read the article because I should be working, but Dan Craig had a lot of Clive going on there. Rrrowr. Not that I didn't find him utterly sexy-laid before.

I enjoy fallible, rather tortured heroes, as you all know, and I love James Bond. But, you know, completely different vibe.

I love realistic heroes as well, that's not Bond. You don't watch a Bond movie for "realism". You watch it for Bond being Bond.

If they can do Baby Bond better than Sum of All Fears did Baby Ryan, I'll be happy. Of course, Craig is multitudes sexier than the Affleck, so that's a plus already.

Then there's the Can Actually Act (Or at least Chooses To) factor as well.

I like the idea that there's going to be a reaction that boils down to, "How DARE they be somewhat faithful to the book!?"

The movie franchise isn't the book, and hasn't been for a long time. I've read the books, like the books, and don't blame a single moviegoer who wonders what's happened to the suave ladykiller of their childhood.

Because I will miss him too.

I'll miss the old Bond too, but I have old Bond movies for that. I'll be very curious to check this one out.

Plus, they like the gadgets.

The quote from the director in the article did have a point though -- how much further could they go in that direction. I was kind of getting tired of it. Invisible car??? Cool, but how do you top that? And how many more vast control rooms and maniacal madmen can there be?

It was getting to be too much, but maybe I'm a bad Bond fan.

how much further could they go in that direction.

AU Bond?

Bond set in the past?

He could fight Hitler!
