No Armour Left

So, madcap Bonkers fans, I've got no job, no money, no work done... am I really depressed?

Nope, for one simple reason: this week is the week that Daniel Craig comes to cinemas as James Bond in Casino Royale, the 21st official 007 film from EON Productions! And I already know one key fact about the new film, and that is that the music is awesome! The soundtrack, by David Arnold, was released yesterday and is already my favourite CD in my collection! Loud and brash during the action, calm and emotional during the important scenes... it's perfect (and that's without having seen the film it goes with)! The longest track is 12 minutes - the shortest is 27 seconds!

Equally exciting is the new Aston Martin DBS which features in the film and broke the Guiness World Record of "Most Sideways Rolls" unintentionally during one of the key action scenes! If you think being in love with a car is stupid, take a look at the picture below before you judge, damn you!

Yep, isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? Shame it gets trashed in Casino Royale, although I'll forgive Daniel Craig anything these days: he's the man who is reinventing James Bond for the 21st Century. Sure, Die Another Day was in 2002 and was great, but with things like 24 on television, and 9/11 becoming a cinematic issue, the cartoonish-Bond we're used to seeing in Moonraker etc. seems outdated and out of place.

So Thursday is Bond and drinks with me wearing a suit... much excitement! In fact, I'm so excited, I'm going to run off and watch clips online (or the fabulous trailer over and over and over and over and...)!

Peace out, ladies and mentalmen!
