HAY GUYS

Eva Green was a very bad choice for the Bond girl. She was alright in Kingdom of Heaven, but that's because she didn't do or say much. She's cute but plain (for a Bond girl, anyway). And Daniel Craig has the wrong looks, very emaciated-looking face.

The best I'm hoping for is that it'll be better than Die Another Day (a horrible, horrible movie).

How ya doing, buddy?

1) There are Eva Green nudes? I'll have to find those.

2) If there's one thing I'm looking forward to in this movie, it's the reported absence of the over-the-top Q-type gizmos. I always liked the technology, but Die Another Day's invisible car and DNA therapy was WAY too much. In that context, it was too ironic that Bond and Jinx had to cut up a fence with a pair of ordinary wire cutters to gain access to that base.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think Craig may have the acting credentials to pull off Bond, I have no doubt about it. But the man looks like a weasel: ugly ugly ugly. And it's not the blond hair. He looks like he's spent way too much time out in the sun, like he's aging prematurely or something. He doesn't carry the patient but cunning, suave, self-confidence that his predecessors had.

Tama, I didn't know Brosnan was originally tapped so early... interesting.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Daniel Craig should have been the villian, but I've never heard of this Mads Mikkelsen guy. I wonder who the second Bond girl will be. They better have one because Eva Green is not hot enough to balance out Daniel Craig's ugliness.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Edit: I was confused why they picked Craig in the first place since he's not really well known. I just watched Layer Cake however, and I can't wait to see what he does in the role. Hopefully this movie will bring back some self-respect to the series. Die Another Day was just so remarkably horrible. (I hope others agree with me)

I agree that Die Another Day was absolutely atrocious. But I am enjoying this discussion of Daniel Craig's ugliness, because he IS ugly. Maybe I've been spoiled by the handsome, sophisticated looks of Brosnan and Moore (although Moore started looking kinda bad by the end of his run); but Eleo is right, this is Bond, not some ordinary spy. We expect over-the-top glamour.

Btw, I know there is no Q or R in this film, but is Judi Dench confirmed as reprising M?

I was speaking idiomatically.
