#1 Just wondering, but when was the last time they had an actual communist-governments bad guy? It's always some George Soros clone.

#2 Is that pronounced Broccoli, or Broccoli???

Haven't seen "QUANTUM" yet on TV, but thus far Craig appears to be a worthy successor to the Bonds before him.

FYI would like to see a project where Craig + all of the past 007's [Val Kilmer = The Saint?, I Spy?] go at it = fight eveeeiill.

[MADONNA = "BEAUTIFUL STRANGER" Song, Video here].

Iff the 007's are gonna go after OBL now Ayman [Taliban?], then perhaps Madonna should be changed to OBL's favorite MTV Babe Whitney Huston???

#5 Picking Javier Bardem is a great casting choice, because he proved in No Country For Old Men that he could do villain good enough to not need any action at all.

The infamous Coin Flip Scene.

#7 The Quantum Fund of George Soros wasn't too good.

#8 Daniel Craig was a very pleasant surprise as Bond. I'm looking forward to his third, and glad they got back to a harder tougher Bond

#9 Agreed. Craig is a kickass Bond.

Bardem did well in "No Country for Old Men", but if you want to see some excellent acting by Bardem, rent "Biutiful". His lead role in that film won him the Goya Award for Best Actor.

#10 IMHO Cas1n0 Royale with Daniel Craig was the best Bond movie ever. That may be heresy to some. The Bond movies with Sean Connery were all highly entertaining. But Cas1n0 Royale was grittier and more faithful the original book by Ian Fleming.

Quantum of Solace, not so much, but it had its moments.

#11 #10 - no disagreement. The Sean Connery Bonds were a little too fascinated by the technology increases of the day and let that be the story driver from Fleming's Bond. The Roger Moore, et al were fun escapism, but not serious movies - as it were. I'm currently ready "Carte Blanche - 007" by Jeffery Deaver (written w/ permission from the Fleming family) and it reads pretty well so far (only 100 pages in). I like Deaver, so I may be prejudiced.....but I would suggest it, so far

#12 I like the new Bond as well...watched both films while deployed and found them greatly entertaining...I still like Connery and even liked Dalton as well as Brosnan. (never really cared for Moore)
