On October 14th, 2005, 20 years ago this week, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, backed by MGM and Sony, officially unveiled Daniel Cr-egg as the next 007, handing over the baton from Pierce Brosnan. This event spawned this website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGj4vqa9KYo

Conservative MP Sir John Hayes, a self-professed Bond fan, blasted the move of placing warnings on Bond films, calling it unnecessary political correctness. “Everyone knows fast cars and fast living are what James Bond is about,” he said “It feels like they want to turn Bond into a Disney character.”

I vividly remember seeing that photo and thinking that's James Bond? Though I didn't go into Casino Royale intending to hate it, I wanted to give the new guy a fair shake. I only joined this site after I had seen it. It wasn't even my disappointment at the film itself that brought me here, it was more the "I saw Goody Proctor enjoying a Bond film that didn't have Daniel Craig in it" mentality over at the other Bond fan forums.

Meanwhile, I just deleted a bot post (brought here by that Yahoo Movies article?) that was probably copied and pasted from one of those forums. It was a ranking of all the Bond films, but it only went up to CR, which, predictably, was number one.

Same here, didn't think much of Craig when announced, I actually enjoyed CR initially then reality set it and once I saw this site featured in EON's self congratulatory documentary during the run up to SF I knew I had to join, then I saw SF and it was cemented.

I suppose I'll be getting the usual suspects over in the comments section of my articles pelting me with their ridiculous over the top strawman now that we've hit the news again.

Funny, old boy writing the article had to browse back awhile to find anything critical of Dan, namely my review of NTTD. I wonder if he actually read anything on the way?

Yeah, that was kind of disingenuous. The way it was worded implied that your pieces on NTTD were written recently, rather than at the time of the film's release.
