Casino Royale/Pictures of Daniel Craig

I have seen "Casino Royale" on Tuesday, and though I never thought I would say this about Bond – it is an awesome film. My two friends and I were glued to the screen for two hours, uttering various exclamations of delight from time to time. My friends didn’t believe me when I told them I know the ending. :D It was easy to guess, though. But who cares for predictability! Oh my poor heart! I want to see "Casino Royale" again!!!

+ Because Daniel Craig has the best EVER eyes and eyelashes. Piercing icicle-blue eyes and pale eyelashes which are too long for a man - nothing can be compared to it. Truly. And voice. His is the type of voice I can listen to for hours and never get tired.

+ Leaving objectification aside, he is an incredible actor. I have a silly feeling of national pride. :D. Yes, Britain has wonderful actors by the bucket!!!

+ The scene where Bond comforts Vesper Lynd in the shower made me cry. It is my favourite scene!!!

+ I loved the fractal-like titles. I know some people are attacted to the old “Bond” way of titles, but I was mesmerised. The title song was also more interesting then the usual “Bond song” for me.

+ I don’t think I have any particular deep thoughts, “Casino Royale” is just such a delight form start to finish. If anyone haven’t seen it yet – go and see it !!! You will not regret!!!

Last couple of days I have been obsessively looking for everything connected to Daniel Craig. And I found some fantastic news – he is playing Lord Asriel in the new film adaptation of "Dark Materials"!!!!. !!!

OMG he's not really my type of guy but I can't deny that he looks irresistable in Bond! I like his clean-cut better ^o^ Ooooh can't wait to see Casino Royale! I mean I adore Judi Dench, and was planning to go see it for her ;) Notwithstanding the cast for CR, I've always liked Bond movies anyways, and so does my bf ;) So I'm definitely dragging him to the movies this weekend, LOL.

I think I am hopeless for scruffy-looking men. See Rain in ALTK :D I liked D.Craig very much in the recent BBC adaptation "Archangel" (thriller about Stalinism, so I was bound to like it :D)

I hope you like "CAsino Royale", and I am interested to know what you and your bf think, because the creators did change a lot of original "Bond" concept. And Judi Dench - she is beyond awesome!!

I'm watching it this afternoon! Will let you know how I like it ;)

I like scruffiness too, but clean-cut looks seem to win me over VERY easily, LOL (^-^)

I must say, there are some excellent examples of clean-cut too, like Joo Ji-Hoon :D ** has another look at the pictures you posted the other day **

Yup. He's SO my type! And so is Kang Dong-won, if you haven't noticed, LOL.

PS. Am watching Casino Royale tonight with a friend 'cause my bf couldn't go during the weekend - and now he's gone to Bali for work :(

Yeah it's great! I wanted to write about it but got sidetracked by Nobuta, LOL.

I am so glad you like Nobuta! It is probably the most cleverly done jdorama, IMHO.
