Shaken, Not Stirred

So the new Bond movie, Casino Royale comes out in a little over a week. Dont know how to feel. The first Bond movie I ever saw was Goldeneye. Saw that in theatres shortly after it came out. Was really one of the first movies I went to see and kind of got me into movies in general (Gladiator sealed my love for movies.) Since Goldeneye, there has been three other Bond films. At the center of them all is my boy, Pierce. To me, he personified the character of Bond to the letter; smooth, sexy, (yes i just called pierce sexy) and professional.

I have gone back and watched some of the older Bond films. Connery was ok as bond, but thats just because he's Sean Connery. Roger Moore did nothing for me, and i havent seen any movies with a bond played by some one different from the 3 men ive already listed.

Which brings me to my point. Casino Royale has a new Bond in light of Pierce ending his run. I forget the guys name but he was in Munich and I dont know if i can picture him as Bond. Despite the fact this movie is supposed to be really good because of the book its based on I dont know if I'll be able to get into it. I'll probably go see it just to see it. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
