007
I think I might actually be in love with Daniel Craig. I find myself lying here thinking, Sean Connery or Daniel Craig? Sean or Daniel? Not sure I'm ready to take my Best James Bond award away from Sean Connery as yet. He was, after all, the original. But Daniel Craig has come closest to knocking him off that pedestal -- in my book at least.
Finally, James Bond as he should be, again. No more chocolate-box-pretty-boy-ubergentleman. There's such a thing as being too suave. I mean, I love Pierce Brosnan, I do (he was brilliant back in the day as Remington Steele -- and hello, the Thomas Crown Affair??). But he was too... nice.
Daniel Craig's yummy bad-boy ruggedness is so much more attractive. And so much more "Bond".
He's not afraid to get down and dirty. And you gotta love his crooked smile.. sigh...
This kind of thinking, when not applied to a figment of Ian Fleming's imagination but rather to real life, explains a lot about the choices I make.

Sean or Daniel?
dude, my answer is... matt damon!
(see also manohla dargis' take on this extremely important issue, in the NYT movie review from friday:
By the time the last Bond landed in 2002, Matt Damon was rearranging the genre's elementary particles anew in "The Bourne Identity.")
and there's nothing wrong with bad boys with crooked smiles! *grin*
sim: i see your point, but he's a leetle too pretty and "boyish" for me -- he was more my type a few years ago.
now, "a mayn's mayn" is what does it! :) enter hugh jackman, clive owen, matthew mcconaughey, paul bettany (yum! ok i just threw him in cos he's hot, man's man or not!) and, of course, the new inductee: daniel craig.
oof, you're a bad influence! i don't have time to fantasize about unattainable/unavailable men.
(and yes, i'd read manohla dargis' review first thing yesterday).
oh, and there's nothing wrong with bad boys -- as long as you don't buy into their crooked smiles.
its was all there. just the way it should be. even the darkness of the torture. then he said 'I love you'. go why?
I've had a lot of people say that its supposed to be the first one, how this experience makes the man harder. but for now I'll equate him as the bond who said I love you. just like I equate lazenby with the bond who said I do.
did I like the movie, and the bond.
absolutely.
as for the bad boys with crooked smiles - those lucky buggers
Daniel Craig is good. Even the movie. I liked them both. As for
Bond saying 'I love you', I fell off my chair. Bond needs to say 'I love you' as badly as a fish needs a bicycle..OK, I am pushing it a little too far..
Phill-haal let me have some naughty dreams about Eva Green...I thought she was straight out of the oven, like 1000 deg kelvin!
i think the fact that he said i love you made him all the more attractive and "real."
a bad boy who has real feelings, even if they're buried very very deep... where can i get one?
You will be surprised to know, bad boys are out there in plenty..Much closer than you think ;-)..

just when all the self proclaimed "bad boys" were gonna come crawling out of the woodwork...
MJ: You understand the intent..Thank you!
Rhea: I am running for cover. 'Foot-in-mouth' disease, you see
