Haven't seen it. Was that the very latest one, with miss madonna doing the theme? No wait, that was Die Another Day or something. Was this before or
after The World Is Not Enough?

Just before World. Something about a media tycoon (played by Jonathan Pryce (Juan Peron in Evita)) who tries to gain transmission rights in China by
causing a crisis between China and Britain. Odd plot. Obviously sponsored by Ericsson. Though the music is better than that of any Bond since
Moonraker.
Die Another Day has to do with a guy from Korea who had a DNA-transplant so he looks like a blonde white German.  He has made an extra sun out of diamonds, with that sun he can destroy things.

Sheryl Crow did the theme song of Tomorrow Never Dies:
"Darling I'm killed, I'm in a puddle on a floor,
Waiting for you to return..."

You Only Live Twice is a title from a Fleming book, I think. Who came up with TND or DAD I don't know. GoldenEye was the name of Fleming's house.

How could I say that? Must've been before I saw Goldfinger...
Anyway I'm enjoying all the Bond advertizing. In NL it has taken the shape of a Bond film month showing 14 Bonds. 
Anyone here seen Casino Royale yet? Or is anyone going to see it on short notice?

You haven't noticed that yet? Or are you being cynical?
It's to be an official Bond, starring Daniel Craig. (or David Craig, I keep forgetting)
I've seen one scene this far, and I couldn't say Craig was a most fantastic pick, look-wise anyway. Then again, neither is Roger Moore.

It's time this thread was bumped, cause i'm a JBond fan since childhood...
Daniel Craig is simply the best James Bond since anyone...He looks like a killer and wears the spy uniform without looking cheesy! Can't wait for the
next one...And he is a great actor. Check him out in Layer Cake and Infamous...Truly a remarkable actor.

Ah hmm... well... haven't seen him yet... to me he looked more like a bad guy. Then again, a lot of early Bond bad guys look like good guys. Like that
Blofeld that was also in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

OK... I've seen CR now and can say I officially think it sucks. I don't like poker enough to watch it for 30 minutes. Too lengthy sections with
unclear or no plot. Unfriendly and ugly main character. It wouldn't be so dreadful if he was ugly if they didn't keep on saying he's a hunk.
A lot of people (like my dad, while watching) claim Bond isn't about the plot. But it sure is an important factor. There's no explosion good enough to
counteract the invisible car and 2nd sun from DAD. There's no excuse for the gigantic plothole that is created by making a "young Bond" story take
place post-9/11. And by the way it's presented it can't be overlooked.
Also I preferred DAD's advertising. It's not as blatantly obvious as in CR.
In my ratings I do prefer CR over DAD, TND and GoldenEye. It has decent music (except for the theme which is too noisy), story's not completely
ridiculous, and the settings in Montenegro and Venice are nice.

I enjoyed Casino Royale. I think Daniel Craig makes a good Bond. The plot was more than adequate, it is after all a Bond film.

Most early Bond films have a decent plot, like Goldfinger and From Russia With Love. It's not unfeasible, understandable and could make sense, and
there's plenty of tempo. If you play poker for half an hour you lose a lot of speed, which is tough on non-Poker players. I myself often lost track of
what JB was doing whenever he ran off the table again. And I completely missed who were the two guys that he killed somewhere in the "hour pause".
CR has an OK plot, but it could've been better... there's a large section when he's with Lynd, has just killed the poker opponent with the scar (Le
Chiffre I think it was) and there's absolutely nothing happening.
Did you notice how often I say poker here? Isn't it GREAT to be able to type poker!!!

I agree with you that this in not a Bondmovie like the others.
I miss the Sony taperecorders,
It was funny that Leiter all of the sudden changed into a colored one.
I missed the stunning stunts, filmed in daytime
That sometimes you loose the story, that forr me is quite normal in a Bond movie. When I first saw Diamonds are Forever in the cinema, i didn't get
the story. All the other Bonds we have seen them yearly. When you reed the books that is more confusing. There the story is clear but sometimes a Bond
movie has a title of a book and none of the plot, that came out of different books.
