Oh, MY.  And here I thought Ann Coulter fans were the most deeply disturbed people on the planet.  Move over, neocons - there's a new sherriff in town!

People were skeptical about D. Craig's ability to pull off Bond .. that and "he's not tall enough"

how tall is Craig anyhow? and I don't think Brosnan was all that tall either.

btw, did any one see D Craig in Infamouse (http://imdb.com/title/tt0420609/). I'm not sure I could take another movie about Capote, but this one is suppose to be superior. It did go down a different path, taking the relationship between Capote and Perry (played by Criag) toward a romantic one.

hrm, that's taller than the average American (5'8") so he's tall by most standards.

let me gush a bit more about this movie. As a graphic designer, I love title sequence design when they're done well. The Bond films are usually extravagant with their title designs. I have to say, this one is the best I've seen of the Bond films. It's beautifully conceptualized and visually complex. Yet another way they broke away from the formula is that they didn't use naked women to hold your attention. If they still gave away Oscars for title designs, this would be nominated for sure.

Here here Nipith ..
..and I have been singing that song "you know my name" all friggin day! 


Written and performed by Chris Cornell, I believe..

You know  my name ..

If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name

If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we all been playing

I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins

Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
Forget how to feel

Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
Spin of the wheel

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
