First time visitor (to your blog) and long time reviewer of your comments on other blogs. Bugger me for waiting this long to check out your blog. A pleasure perusing your blog posts.<br /><br />As for Bond, i’ve realized over the years that the persona of bond is based everyone’s own subjective opinion. Doesn’t really matter what the Ian Fleming books say.<br /><br />I saw Casino Royale. I didn’t think it was bad but I can understand your opinion about D. Craig and the reasons why he doesn’t fit the Bond ‘type’ but I think the producers picked him for precisely the same reason – to turn the franchise on its head and start anew. It seems the ploy worked as the critics and majority of the audience praised the Craig and the movie to the skies. <br /><br />I think you’re spot on about the bond girls, whole-heartedly agree there.<br />Olive Ream | Homepage | 12.12.06 – 4:20 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Here’s extending a warm welcome! <br /><br />Since the first Bond film was made, those who don’t fit the Bond type have typically lasted for only one or two movies. Let’s see how Craig fares.<br /><br />In any case, my preferences are clear.<br /><br />Hope they continue to select Bond girls as well as they’ve always done!<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.12.06 – 5:07 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Sean is all times favorite. He is a class apart actor and everyone knows he has done loads of (successful) movies even after retiring as Bond… Steven Spielberg said, “There are seven genuine movie stars in the world today, and Sean is one of them”.<br /><br /># 2 is Pierce Brosnan… I used to watch his series “Remington Steele” in which he was an Private Detective… and he did a lots of movies before he was singed up as Bond… Too bad he decide to quit being typecasted in one role… I have heard that he gave up the Bond role to do theater… His latest movie “Seraphim Falls” (on American Civil War) will be released in Jan 2007. “Butterfly On A Wheel” and “Marriage” are two other movies that he did that are due for release in 2007…<br />Sifar | Homepage | 12.14.06 – 1:28 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Yup! I’ve also liked some of Connery’s post-Bond performances, which have indeed been brilliant.<br /><br />I guess Brosnan was good for another 2-3 Bond movies. Too bad he decided to quit! I hear he was supposed to act as Bond even earlier, but couldn’t, on account of his contract with the makers of Remington Steele. Good series, I suppose…though I haven’t had the opportunity to see any of it yet…Should be good to catch the new movies of his… <br /><br />I agree with your rating of Connery as Bond number one and Brosnan as number two. I would place Roger Moore at number three.<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.14.06 – 2:20 pm | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30556104.post-58683713575108273112010-01-29T00:14:16.250+05:302010-01-29T00:14:16.250+05:30@Asma: It’s ok, but not as a Bond movie and Craig ...@Asma: It’s ok, but not as a Bond movie and Craig fails to match up to the legacy of Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. As for Eva, she’s the quintessential Bond-girl.<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 8:57 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />@Keith: I suspect Bond became 007 because he was suave, rather than the other way round.<br /><br />Also, Ian Fleming envisaged Bond looking like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Ima…7impression.jpg<br /><br />I think Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and, to a certain extent, even George Lazenby were closer to this image, while playing Bond, than Daniel Craig.<br /><br />And, what more can I say about Eva Green…<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 9:25 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Sir, good to read your review on the latest flick. However, I particularly liked this Bond over the others.<br /><br />One, I have watched Craig’s other movies as well, so I had a benchmark to compare to. The guy may not be as suave as Brosnan, but he is definitely rugged, and does justice to this particular movie (if you saw the original Casino Royale). Also, we see a more “human” side of the Bond, as is the norm these days. (Take Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Xmen, and quite a few new age comic books).<br /><br />So, in that sense, I think this was the best bond movie till date. True, the gadgetry was not up to the usual Bond standards, and the ending could have been slightly better, but I think it really didn’t matter.<br /><br />Oh, and Eva Green. If you really want to see the “glory”, rent a movie called “The Dreamers”. Enough said<br />shubir | 12.12.06 – 7:19 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Welcome back Sa’ar!<br /><br />I quote myself:<br /><br />“Casino Royale is one (movie) I would have enjoyed watching quite a bit, had it not been a part of the James Bond marquee.”<br /><br />They could have called the main character something else…John Band, James Baker, Ronald Ross, whatever…and I would have only good things to say about the movie. <br /><br />Let me see it I can get my hands on a CD/DVD of ‘The Dreamers’. Schlurrp! :D<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.12.06 – 10:57 am | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30556104.post-88283137566495221532010-01-29T00:01:01.595+05:302010-01-29T00:01:01.595+05:30Have to see this.

shirazi | Hom...Have to see this. But where are you?<br />shirazi | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 10:14 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Still have to see this movie. When the movie came out BBC gave some glowing reports. Thanks for restoring a balance. I have to check the movie out.<br />Mridula | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 11:34 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />hey, i was also planning to do a Casino Royale post but I will scratch that now, i think.<br />I agree with you on Eva Green.<br />sabizak | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 11:37 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />@Shirazi Sa’ab: I’ve just slipped into ‘lazy mode’ once again, I guess!<br /><br />@Mridula: Looking forward to hearing from you once you’ve had a chance to watch the movie…The BBC just got too impressed by the Bond-girls perhaps… :D <br /><br />@Sabizak: Eva Green looks absolutely smashing!<br />I’d say do that post, by all means. The more the merrier!<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 4:16 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Oh I havent seen the movie yet but somehow after Pierce Brosnan … this guy does not looks like a true Bond … Let’s see … so u say its OK apart from eva who’s more than Ok :p<br />Asma | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 8:21 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />I can kinda agree with you that this Bond wasn’t as suave as the rest, but I think that was kind of the point … He’s supposed to be just starting out as 007, and by the end of the movie, he had me convinced that he will be more smooth as the franchise continues and he plays Bond at least five more times .. and Eva Green is just a fox!<br />Keith Demko | Homepage | 12.11.06 – 8:51 pm | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.com
