The Other Side of the Mission

As a counterpoint to my posts bagging on new Bond Daniel Craig, here's an interview with him and a visit to the set of Casino Royale that both sound promising.

Also, I watched Tomorrow Never Dies last night, for the first time in several years, and found it had grown on me. I think the pre-credit sequence is one of the best ever. My favorite part is where M, the head of the British Admiralty, and his Russian counterpart are watching Bond on a viewscreen, as Bond refuses to evacuate the arms bazaar despite the incoming Cruise missile and potential nuclear armageddon. "What is he doing?!" the British admiral exclaims. "His job," M tersely replies.
