Casino Royale/Pictures of Daniel Craig

[alexandral]

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"!!!!. !!!

Weeee! I'm so glad you liked it! I've read some negative comments lately, and I'm such a dork that they really depressed me. (It's just a movie, Sonia!)

The pictures are so drool-worthy -- I particularly like the penultimate one.

I really, really, really want to see it again!

I love that last pic, especially. It feeds into all my hurt-comfort fantasies. And I, too, loved the opening credits and the song - much more than the traditional, in fact. Clearly we are women of good taste. *g*

Bond was so very excellent. I was astonished by how much I liked it, though I think that if I were a straight man I might not have enjoyed it quite so much. Though after years of some very annoying Bond girls I felt that it was only right and proper that they decided to objectify Bond in a big way. (And I thought it was interesting that they decided to objectify him instead of the gadgets this time).

He was in "Elizabeth" - he played a Jesuit priest and I remember thinking how hot he was back then too :P

Also, and this is unrelated to your Daniel Craig love, but you HAVE to get this week's episode of "The Nine." Yes!!

And lastly, thanks for your e-mail, darling - it was very sweet of you to think of me.

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 love your Bond love! I also thought the title sequence was fantastic - apparently a lot of people thought it was cheesy or something? I found it clever. Thank you for sharing these marvelous photos - made my day!

Those eyes are incredible. I have to see this and The Fountain next week.

Thanks for posting the pics. :)
