BBC News has an article on Daniel Craig stuntman losing control of his vehicle which ended up in a lake while filming Craig’s next movie “Quantum Of Solace”.
Not sure if I like this new James Bond. Besides the blond hair I still have to get use to his gritty, hard lined, image. I always heard about 007/James Bond but really got into it when Pierce Bronson was cast as an 007 agent. And now comes this guy in Casino Royale. I saw a documentary on past 007 films and it seems that the franchise had a basic image for Bond in the movies. So what up with this one?. Hmmm. I’ll be looking forward to his next James Bond film and see if the producers will be sticking to his dark side again.

Blondes have more fun – the name is Blond, James Blond, 3 December 2006
I will state it from the start my two fave Bonds were Timothy Dalton & Sean Connery…
The idea of a blond twit as 007? Please!
What John Byrne did in comics with Superman in the 1986 series “Man Of Steel” is what the new crew crafted for this MI6 agent…
You have some old and new mixed together to create a delicious mixture of spicy sexiness indeed!
Gadgets galore still abound, such as the Sony Ericsson k800i and M600 cellphones that gave 3D floorplans when the new double-Oh was at work.
All of the latest Sony Vaio laptops were in gorgeous display enthralling the viewer with all of their potential!
Felix Leiter is now 21st centuried into an Afro-American, and stays in form as an ally of Bond.
Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre Craig’s villainous foil with the weeping eye had all the required chill needed for the evil counterpoint for Bond’s shadowy virtue.
Martin Campbell at al. had to get a newer Bond, those fight scenes could not be handled with or w/o a stuntman by a fella as advanced as Pierce Brosnan, suave as he is…
The opening pursuit tableau in Uganda reminded me of those Tony Jaa chase scenes in “Ong-Bak” and the gritty nastiness that Daniel Craig shifts in and out of like his blessed Aston Martin would not have been well manoeuvred by ye olde Brosnan!
Craig’s fights were extremely realistic and brutally convincing, and the film was chock-a-block with quips that can’t be delivered as they give away numerous scenes…
All I’ll say is when I hear “Allow me,” I’ll now smirk every time! If I reveal why then I’ll breach my handler then I might — ? This message ends on a secure line **Xfer Complete**
