monday-things that please me

bond, james bond

also--craig, daniel craig

i'm a bit of a james bond junkie. i haven't seen all, but many, and i think that casino royale was just what was needed to keep the james bond franchise from imploding on itself.

• craig plaid the character as if no one else had ever slipped into that dinner jacket before.
• the writers stopped trying to write dr. no again (don't get me wrong, dr. no is still the best one--but it is of its time).
• there was a pretty fantastic parkour sequence in the beginning, i think entirely written to make the audience say "pierce who?"
• eva green allows you to forget that they ever made denise richards a nuclear physicist.
