Weak Bond

Some danger signs about new James Bond actor Daniel Craig:

-- While filming a fight scene for the new Bond flick Casino Royale, he slipped, fell, and knocked out two of his own teeth.

-- He can't drive the trademark Bond Aston Martin, because he can't drive a stick.

-- He hates both guns and shaken martinis.

I'm willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. I enjoyed On Her Majesty's Secret Service, parts of the two Timothy Dalton movies, and the Brosnan movies Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough. (I had more trouble with Brosnan's other two Bond flicks.) But the intelligence isn't good.

I think the franchise has been exhausted. With the end of the cold war, women demanding equality and what not, James Bond is a dinosaur.

I think they should just rely on the old movies, which will last forever.

Wow. I mean, I can't drive anything, and I also hate guns and prefer my martinis stirred like a good editor, but I never thought they'd hire a guy to play "Bond, James Bond" who was no more like the character than me. (Okay, so I'm also female and kinda plush, but hey, I've still got all my own teeth.)
