Casino Royale

It's a Bond movie, so I'm not that embarrassed that this is mostly shallow.



The good/toe curling:

0. I'm just going to say I spent much of the movie turning to my best friend and saying "Okay!" in a very agreeable tone of voice every time there was a slight suggestion of James sexing someone/asking for something/breathing. As the best friend remarked "You'd be a push over to torture. Just show you a little half nekkid (or completely nekkid!) Daniel Craig and "ooookaayyy!" you'd be giving away state secrets." She is not far wrong.

1. The finger licking in the shower. WEIRD, I know, but still hot. Uncomfortably hot. Ahem.

2. The Bit where Vesper comes over and kisses his cheek at the pool table and he can't stop staring at her. SOMEONE LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.

3. Daniel Craig's back, covered in sand.

4. The bit when James comes in with the dress for Vesper and talks about how everyone will be looking at her neckline. Which I weirdly took for the line of her neck, not her, y'know breasts. My mind made it sexier! Yay!

5. "You ache to know what my little finger could do." I like talking of aching. Mmmm.

6. I am seriously trying to think of a non-sexy moment to list here. Oh! Judi Dench! Yes, yes, period pieces, but damn that lady can work a nice suit and a good haircut.

7. Eva Green is just stunning. I love beautiful brunette women.

The not-so-much

1. I just - I understand that Vesper had to die, I just wish these women in these movies could live! She was smart and sexy and dead. I mean, way to choose your own death, but!

2. Could the African war lord have been any more stereotypical? He hauled out the machete and I rolled my eyes.
2b. Why is it in movies that when they're in a third world country, there's always an adorable moppet (usually a boy who runs) bringing them their cokes in old skool bottles?

3. The bit on the end on the boat, where he calls her a bitch. Ouch. And yes, I get it, it's the deep well of great manpain establishing itself. But just ow.

The hilarity

1. Well, everyone in my theatre cracked up at "You take good care of your body." And the best friend and I squealed like fan girls.

This is why I prefer tv. I would like more. (Er, I know there are a bazillion other Bond movies. I mean more of this.)
