My (hopefully) straight husband enjoyed the movie as well

Oh, I am glad to hear this! I hope to drag my dearest to see "Casino Royale" this weekend.

and I never thought I'd say this about a Bond movie, ever (I cordially dislike them, as a rule).

These were exactly my feelings too. I suffered through the previous Bond for the sake of Toby Stephens in "shuba" and tux, but I remember thinking "How do they make money out the movie like this?". I can't wait for another installment now, though. :D
