my pink toes

Dave and I got out this afternoon to a movie together - a fun treat. We saw the newest Bond flick and wow - I liked it. A lot. I was prepared to hate the new Bond because: 1. Who? 2. Blonde? 3. He's not Sean Connery or Remington Steele Pierce Brosnan.

As it turns out, Daniel Craig is an amazing Bond. He makes the character more believable, yet still way cooler than any normal person could be. His blue eyes have less a debonair quality than more recent Bonds. Instead, his eyes always have behind them a bit of insecurity – a glimpse of a need to prove himself. This Bond actually seems vulnerable.

He reminds me of Steve McQueen – not a head-turner, but there’s something about how he moves and how he looks at people that is far more attractive and compelling than stunning good looks alone. He’s much more Matt Damon than Brad Pitt.

I, for one, am sold on the new Bond. I can’t wait to see Daniel Craig “Die Another Day”.
