I have never wanted to see a James Bond movie before...

...now I do!

Every guy should be made to feel a little gay at some point in his life. Mostly because he is a little gay. Everyone is. Some are just more than others.

And the movie kicked ass.

He does have a killer body all right, but his back needs a little work. Too chest-heavy, if he's not careful he'll get that round-shouldered look that professional bodybuilders often get.

Yes, I am aware that "professional bodybuilder" is an oxymoron, but I'm not about to argue semantics with someone who could pick me up and break me in half.

Straight men need to be desensitized to the ick factor of mansex. If they can enjoy womansex then they should shut up and deal. Especially since homophobic straight men are more likely to be physically aroused by gay porn than non-homophobic straight men.

You felt Casino Royale was projected more at a male audience?  Interesting.  I didn't see it as leaning particularly hard one way or the other.  Also interesting that women liked Brosnan's Bond...I only liked Goldeneye, really, because A.) it was less dumb than the others, B.) it was pretty quotable, and C.) Famke Janssen as Bad Bond Girl Xenia Onatopp(dark hair does her so much better than red).  Tomorrow Never Dies was meh for story, though Michelle Yeoh = as always, World is Not Enough was more meh but had one of my favorite Bond songs in a while, and Die Another Day was flat-out dumb.  My personal favorite Bond movies are You Only Live Twice and now Casino Royale, which has recently bumped Goldfinger down from second to third.

I would definitely say Casino Royale was aimed squarely at men. There were some glory shots of shirtless Bond, yeah, but the focus this time was very much on Bond kicking ass, getting bloody, and blowing shit up. This is partly on account of Bond being 'new', but he's overall going to be a more rough and tumble guy. Brosnan's Bond was too classy to get blood on his suit, and spent more time chatting it up with bitches than he did with blowing things up. Most of the fans of Brosnan's Bond that I know are women. The guys refer back to Connery every time.

Brosnan's Bond movies were awful after Goldeneye. I just don't blame him. The scripts went to complete hell. Which is too bad because I had high hopes for Pryce as a Bond baddie, and Sophie Marceau was seriously some kind of holy god hot. For my personal tastes, I liked Brosnan's character better, but this was a much better movie than anything that he did post-Goldeneye. Call me shallow but I want my hot hot Brioni-wearing smarmy drowning in women Goldeneye Bond.

Actually screw that. Don't call me shallow. It's absurd to consider yourself shallow for having the proper reaction to a stimulus. Bond's not supposed to be high theater, it's supposed to be fun. I suppose, though, that Craig gets his female lusting horde anyway. He's just not my type. From what I'm told, girls wanted to have sex with Bruce Willis after seeing Die Hard. I hardly noticed him with Alan Rickman running around...
