But by about five minutes in I was DROOLING over him, much to my hubby's chagrin. And in discussing it with my mom the next day (who's also not a huge action fan), I found that we had identical reactions. I can't wait for the next one!Colleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-6458321961054015252006-12-27T00:05:00.000-08:002006-12-27T00:05:00.000-08:002006-12-27T00:05:00.000-08:00Sundry,<br /><br />Ooh, Clooney would be a fabulous Matt Helm. Now that you say it, I can't really think of anyone else that would fit the bill. I haven't seen Pierce Brosnan in The Matador...I had to settle for seeing him out a Santa Monica Pier. Very good looking in person.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-88312778835888053472006-12-27T00:01:00.000-08:002006-12-27T00:01:00.000-08:002006-12-27T00:01:00.000-08:00Counselor,<br /><br />I'm feeling your tip of the day. How true, how true. I hope you enjoy CR as much as I did. Can't wait to hear how it was for you.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-86004722846052096592006-12-26T12:05:00.000-08:002006-12-26T12:05:00.000-08:002006-12-26T12:05:00.000-08:00Haven't seen it, but I can only say that I hope that this means that some one will knock the dust off of the old Matt Helm series of TERRIFIC spy guy books and do them right this time. They are wonderful brain candy, nothing like the atrocious Dean Martin Matt Helm movie.<br /><br />Please, please, Mr. George Clooney, take pity on us and make some real Matt Helm movies.<br /><br />Have you seen Pierce Brosnan knock his old Bond image on its ear in Matador? Crass, but fun and surprising.Sundryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11395065569691894697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-80359654955338937082006-12-26T09:55:00.000-08:002006-12-26T09:55:00.000-08:002006-12-26T09:55:00.000-08:00Years ago, my parents used to drag me to see every James Bond movie to hit the big screen. So, naturally, I've kept my distance from him as an adult. Now, after reading your post, I'm absolutely anticipating seeing Casino Royale!! I'll let you know how it goes....<br /><br />It's something about someone not trying to be attractive--that's absolutely sexy!! LOL <br /><br />Go figure...<br /><br /><br />Counselor tip of the day: If you really want people to notice you. Pretend like you don't know you have it--and flaunt it.Counselorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09342123913128626559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-39599387330179552872006-12-26T01:03:00.000-08:002006-12-26T01:03:00.000-08:002006-12-26T01:03:00.000-08:00Nice to see someone else knows all to well about those astronomical ticket prices at The Grove! $12.75 for a crap movie is ridiculous. For Casino Royale, I'd do it all over again. Craig is clearly a gentleman to not be rubbing his success in the face of his former detractors. I also can't wait for Bond 22!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-44869164655098180842006-12-25T15:41:00.000-08:002006-12-25T15:41:00.000-08:002006-12-25T15:41:00.000-08:00I've seen Casino Royale at The Grove more than once LOL! I was skeptical about him also. I didn't think he was ugly, just didn't think he looked like James Bond. Until I saw the first trailer for film earlier this year. My reaction to the trailer was "damn!, that looks soooo hot!" I really thought at that point he had a good chance to pull it off. And did he ever!!! I'm really happy for him after all the abuse he took on the internet and in the press. Variety magazine just wrote an article yesterday that Casino Royale has surpassed Die Another Day as the highest grossing Bond film worldwide at $448 million and still counting. Can't wait for Bond 22!!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
