Dear Hollywood:
I have finally gotten over my pissoff long enough to watch the new Casino Royale.
You are forgiven for nobody liking Timothy Dalton as Bond, and for Pierce Brosnan getting a little too old, and for not picking Ioan Gruffudd for the new Bond even though he was practically born to play the part (if you're going with sexy and dashing).
Daniel Craig is just fine. I don't think he's hot, per se -- I mean, he was hotter in The Golden Compass, what with the "Professor Daddy" thing he had going on -- but he is really charismatic, and this Bond is very scary, so . . . keep doing what it is you're doing.
Also? Eva Green is very beautiful, and she can actually act. Keep putting her in stuff.
You are not so much forgiven for the disturbing ending, which guarantees that I will never watch the last half-hour of the movie again.
Also, I have to admit . . . I'm sorta glad I don't have balls, or I'd still be coaxing them back out of my abdominal cavity. I see the new Bond franchise is not playing with the idea of sexy torture any longer. So on second thought, I'm just as glad that wasn't Ioan, thanks.
Still, net gain there, so I give you the thumbs up. That was a damn good spy movie.
