Sweet Dreams of James Bond

.
The first trailer for Cary Fukunaga's James Bond film No Time To Die with the returning Daniel Craig slipping in and out of every well-tailored suit in the Northern Hemisphere has arrived this very morning, and if you haven't watched it already I have it for you here:

My first thought upon watching it was... well, this:

But my second thought was gee damn it looks pretty:





That's the super talented Ana de Armas in the last shot, who most of you probably saw kicking ass in Rian Johnson's Knives Out this past weekend -- the Bond movies are sometimes so goddamned good at capturing just the right person at just the right moment, aren't they?

And then there's Rami Malek, proving the opposite. I know I know, he just won an Oscar for a movie that made a billion dollars or some shit... emphasis on shit. I'll try not to carry my continuing loathing over to this but it's been rough, for me, even here a full year later. I have fully stopped watching Mr. Robot, a show I once loved. Sigh. Well I've got until April 8th, when the movie comes out! What do y'all think of this trailer?

Like all the Craig Bond's it looks sleek and fun. The addition of unworthy Oscar winner/lip-syncer Malek is unfortunate but the franchise has always cast a currently hot actor as the villain so I suppose it was unavoidable. He certainly won't keep me away when it comes out.

Mr. Robot has been great this season and Rami will be in your good books again, especially after the bottle episode of him revealing something big to his psychiatrist.

"Sleek and fun" is definitely NOT how I'd describe some of these Craig/Bond films. Quite the opposite, actually.

I *just* started the final season of MR ROBOT this past weekend. I delayed it because I also couldn't let go of the shit that was BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. I'm only two episodes in and it's good/fine. I know it gets really good or so I've heard.
