I saw nice, quality papeerback copies of CR at B&N the other day.

I miss my 60¢ Signet Classics - those are the Bond Books to me - as well as most of the Sci-Fi universe

Me too.

Remember when we made gun holsters for our jackets so we could be sixth grade Bond-like spies?

Those concealed cap guns gave us the highly respected "license to annoy."

I finally saw it and I was surprised that I liked it! Really fun, fast, entertaining and the new Bond was very likable. I've seen every Bond movie over and over so I'm a 007 fan. I was bummed when Pierce Bronson stepped down from the role and shocked about the new guy. I figured I just wouldn't like him as Bond. But he brings 007 to a new grittier, leaner, meaner kinda hero.

Course, I'm not sure why some women find him so attractive. But that's just me.

I find him attractive in the way I find Steve McQueen attractive (more rugged attitude than actual appearance). Actually having mentioned the name, Craig as Bond fit pretty well with how I would imagine McQueen as Bond.

We finally saw this at our cheapie theater on Sunday. Definitely enjoyable. Great action. Craig is seriously hot. I usually don't go for pouty, squinty types, and I'm not into muscles, but he puts it together nicely.

I thought about it a lot and I can't say he's my favorite Bond. I can't pick one anyway, but it's definitely not Craig. I did miss the gadgets and silliness a tad, but not enough to affect my enjoyment. This was a different breed.

I can't believe NM and iSm liked the lame-o Chris Cornell opening song. The visuals were gorgeous (on par with the best opening credits in Bond history) and the song did not fit it at all. I felt like they made the visuals with another song in mind.

Eva Green as Vespers....my God. I'm glad I don't have to compete with her for men. So. Freaking. Hot. She was good in this and her character was just complex enough to put her in the running for best Bond girl ever.

I liked pretty much everything in the film, though it seemed longer than King Kong, what with all the endings. The endings didn't disappoint, however.

Blatant product placement has been a part of Bond since forever so I had no problem with that. If you include plugging the locales (and who wouldn't want to visit all the places he's visited throughout the years?), the amount of advertising goes through the roof. I'm fine with this type of thing because I want a wicked awesome car for him to drive, etc.

Anyway - yeah, cool, and swanky.
