Casino Royale took in a ton of money this weekend -- though not enough to beat out the adorably fun-looking Happy Feet for number one in box office. Given the choice for movie-going experiences though, I would have gone for the new James Bond. I'm beyond intrigued by the re-energized spy, who apparently answers, "Do I look like I give a damn?" when asked how he'd like his martini. I'm loving the idea of a Bond who might really kill someone without it coming down to a quip, and one who won't hesitate to get dirty. Some may say that Sean Connery was that Bond, but I don't think so. All the previous Bonds seem somewhat ... less than manly. Daniel Craig, I think, may be my favorite Bond. A bold statement certainly, since I haven't seen the movie yet, but the trailers, and my instincts, tell me that this showing may actually be worth the ticket price.

No thank you...it is Brosnan or nothing - and excuse me??not manly?
Not in my dreams!
Well, for me every actor has fit Bond in their day- my favorite being Pierce (extra love for Remington Steele) but I am so excited about seeing Daniel as the new "modern" yet "younger" Bond - should be good. Pierce took it one step and I hope he jumps right off.
Wanna leave the kiddos with the hubbies and hit the multiplex?
