this past weekend watched the XXI century version of CASINO ROYALE
i need to watch it again knowing what i know in the end. particularly eva green. who always does some sort of femme fatale, with her strange face and nice tits.
what's amazing about THIS james bond is how he gets continually traumatized and nevertheless keeps running like a ton of bricks. is it something in his physiology or something else i think it's kinda hilarious. i mean, i get that the actor spends a lot of time at the gym but muscles don't make a person invulnerable.
so i kept looking for something to touch his real vulnerabilities. like winston in 1984. torture vesper in front of him, and then see what he does.
peculiar too that the girl's arm doesn't get cut off either. this is no scarface movie. people here have shreds of honor.
vesper lynd is a superinteresting character though and i realize now i paid very little attention to her because it was in all appearances a dumb action movie and i treated it as such. basically i had a computer game playing all throughout it. ooops!
i might need a rewind ha ha ha

He is a ton of bricks. That's the answer. He's a gorilla. Not a man. Daniel Craig, that is. And if I recall, he does kinda lose his shit a bit at the end of Casino Royale, doesn't he?
That was a really swell reboot attempt, and they had the bases loaded for an awesome new Bond era with the cliffhanger ending. Then Quantum of Solace had to come along and be a big boring stupid
thing, most of which I cannot remember for the life of me. Then Skyfall was good. Then SPECTRE was mostly total crap.
This was supposed to be the Bond answer to Nolan's Bat-flicks ... in fact, did you know that Chris Nolan and Christian Bale were originally pursued for the project? I didn't... not until recently. Anyway, turned out to be the most perfectly uneven tertralogy in recent memory.
