Esther just emailed this stuff on bond. We are both big bond fans: she says I got her into it, and sometimes I wonder what I have started. Anyway, casino royale looks good; I especially like the concept of taking bond back to his roots, and I find the prospect of having him fallible interesting. It looks like the ambiance and mise-en-scene of this movie should me more rugged, less fantasy-like, which might take the franchise in a new direction. Something to look forward to.

Thanks Esther!
