Y'know, I haven't enjoyed any Bond movie besides everything before and including Thunderball, and the exception of Goldeneye.

I also haven't enjoyed anything Paul Haggis has done, period.

However, Casino Royale features Daniel Craig (who was awesome in Road To Perdition, The Jacket, and most recently Munich), Eva Green (from The Dreamers and Kingdom of Heaven), and simply looks like one of those action movies that'll just work. It looks like the antithesis of the cheesy, campy Bond, and that's exactly what I fucking want! I want the Bond of the Ian Fleming novels -- the one who isn't always super-suave, and always so obviously guaranteed to make it through to the end of the picture without so much as a hair out of place. The one who'll probably have more than a few scars when the damned mission is over.

The trailer's available in French right now, all over the place. Take a gander; you'll find it.

And then, yesterday, the Pirates 2 trailer showed up. Bill Nighy under makeup and special effects, a badass Keira Knightley, and the words "oh bugger". I had the feeling, then, that there was going to be nothing that could beat this for pure, unadulterated fun this summer.

Until:



Now I'm completely stuck.



Never mind.
