Friday. Yeah Friday.
Dec. 1st, 2006 11:41 amSaw Casino Royale very late on Wednesday night. Need to see it again because it was almost 2:00 a.m. by the time it finished and there may have been martinis involved. (M. and I try to tailor the cocktails to the theme). However, Daniel Craig is a fantastic Bond, far closer to Fleming's version of a blunt instrument and I'm pretty tickled with the reimagination of the franchise. I didn't get a lot of joy from the books, but I read a bunch of them when I was going through my 60s British Mod phase (watching the Avengers, reading Bond and Modesty Blaise) and I like Fleming's vision of Bond.
Casino Royale is even weirdly less sexist than earlier films because Bond's charm is very... earthy, very visceral and the women he fixates on are more fleshed out, less cartoonish. They're flawed and real and complex and his issues are clearly at the forefront. He's a killer, and they're so honest about that and it makes a world of difference.
In other news, if I were to perhaps expand the SG-1/SN crossover, I may possibly need some plot related assistance if anyone were willing to help me as I bandied around some ideas. Volunteers would be greatly appreciated.
