Stocks:What are they drinking over at MI6, in that case, that makes them, 'for the most part', GLORIFY Daniel Craig in the manner in which they do? Is it LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE,I mean 007?
Glorified? Well I wouldn't go that far, but he's certainly more appreciated there than THE OTHER PLACE THAT SHALL NOT ALSO BE NAMED.

Craig gets way more credit that he deserves.I used to like him,but I don't get the LOVE AFFAIR that a lot of people(especially over at The Place That Can't Be Named) have with him.I'm looking forwards to seeing QOS so I can critique it.

Timothy Dalton did the gritty Bond thing years ago. Also, he actually looked a bit like James Bond.

Katied, are you obsessed at all with The Place That Can't Be Named..?
Psychic: 'Bond film is cursed by Hallowe'en release'
A top psychic has urged the producers of the new James Bond movie 'Quantum of Solace' to change the Hallowe'en release date of the film - or risk encouraging more bad luck.
Dean 'Midas' Maynard, who uses supernatural powers to help British sports teams and celebrities over slumps, has offered his help to 007 Daniel Craig and the cast and crew of the film.
He believes the recent accidents, which have dogged the Bond sets in South America and Europe, are part of a curse that hangs over the film.
And he insists Amy Winehouse's run of bad luck - with two arrests in two weeks - is linked to the Bond curse, because she has been recording a potential theme for 'Quantum of Solace'.
Maynard says: "The movie set suffered three car crashes in five days, one critical and a technician working on the movie was stabbed with a steak knife in a domestic dispute on Tuesday.
"It's clear what is going on here and I would be honoured to come to the help of James Bond and help the team get things back on track.
"People may scoff at the talk of a curse, but it seems strange that all these bad things have happened in such a short space of time, and perhaps it's something to do with the Hallowe'en release date of the film."

And I was upset when Dalton left. Until CR came out, LTK was the last greatest movie.
Of all films Sweeney, LTK was a great Bond film? You are definitely in the proven minority in terms of the box office popularity. LTK bombed in the USA. Movie critics gave in a B+ rating then, I remember it well, saying the Bond films usually received an A rating. The critics felt Bond quitting the Service and going out on a personal vendetta, was all wrong for Bond. Now, in 2008, it seems more acceptable given the Bourne success. Would LTK fly high today?

We eagerly await your review, the heck with Ebert and Roper! Bring on sweet Katied's review!

I loved LTK. Had it been made today, who knows. Probably yes.
I always felt that audiences back then didn't appreciate that kind of Bond flick, whereas they would now.
