Run Daniel Craig Run

Yes that might be a picture of Daniel Craig there but if you've come around here anticipating a post from me about James Bond being sold off to Amazon you're outta the luck because I couldn't give a shit -- I famously never saw a single 007 movie until Craig suited up and while I saw all and enjoyed most of those, and even went back and saw a couple handfuls of the earlier films over that time, I still would be fine if the character was dropped off a cliff now. Who the fuck cares? Tell new stories dammit. Bond is picked-clean Boomer leftovers and if you change the character too much you'll satisfy nobody. (And if you return the character to its actual origins you'll only please the cretins.) So let's movie on. 

Okay I said this wasn't a post about that and yet here I am rambling on. At least the more I ramble the more photos of Daniel you get to fill up the space -- be happy about my rambling then! No I'm here to touch on the other Danny-boy news -- namely that he has yanked himself violently out of Luca Guadagnino's clutches, and he will not star in Luca's supposed DC superhero movie (I still cannot believe this will be a thing) Sgt. Rock. The two of course collaborated last year on (my beloved) Queer -- Deadline says no reason's been given for the departure but I hope Daniel doesn't hate Luca now because he didn't get an Oscar nomination. That's where my petty mind goes anyway. But maybe he just saw the writing on the wall that this project seems to be a bit of nonsense. I mean I love that Luca wants to challenge himself but yeesh what an idea. Not that I want Luca to turn his sights toward that nonsensical American Psycho remake either! Deadline says there are other actors (including Jeremy Allen White) in the running to step into Daniel's combat boots. Whatever. Make your money, Luca. I don't want him in the poor house like Brady Corbet!
