I Heart James Bond

I have seen the advertisements since May, and halfway around the world, at that. In Hong Kong, city buses roared by, covered in "Casino Royale" movie posters. There, blown up to 137 times his original size was Daniel Craig.

There wasn't a whole lot to him, then. In our own group, the guys talked about how this was the new James Bond and there were skeptical remarks about his ability in this role. Everyone said that they wanted to see the new movie, but weren't sure if this Daniel Craig would really be that good of a Bond character.

That was May. I had almost forgotten about Daniel and his Hong Kong advertisements. Now in November, I was dragged to the movies to see just another Bond movie.

But this was NOT just another Bond movie, and it was because of my dear, sweet Daniel. Those piercing blue eyes. Those perfectly formed biceps. That crooked smile. I am in love with the new Bond. He's rugged, he's human. And he's hot. I'm sure the movie studios knew what they were doing. For years and years, the guys had all the fun - their fantasy Bond with the cool gadgets, the cool car, and the easy women. What did we have? Nothing. But now, we have Daniel. The guys can take their cool car and their cool gadget. Heck, I'll even give them the beautiful, easy women. But just give me my Bond!
