CRIAG IS BEST BOND EVER, SAYS DIRECTOR

I don't recall a previous Bond director having to come out and talk about how great the new Bond is....

And you're probably wondering - just how's this new Bond so much better? We already know he can't drive a stick shift, can't shoot, can't swim, is afraid of speedy boat rides, can't fight, and he's very sensitive to the sun.

No, dear readers, it's not that the new Bond is a manly man. It's that he emotes.
Movie-maker Campbell defended the maligned star, insisting he gives a far more emotive performance than suave predecessor Pierce Brosnan ever could.... We show that Bond will suffer from emotional and physical pain.
Now that's what I want. A super spy with his finger on the button, saving the world from the evil villain with his emotions. I had an earlier discussion here at the Tattler on this topic and came to the conclusion that the new Bond was the image of the new Castrato - the new "man". If we're supposed to think that this bugger is the best Bond ever, it's going to take a bit more than because he has feelings to convince me. I mean, for God's sake, man - will the new Aston Martin come equipped with a special compartment for this ninny's tissue paper?

Thus far, I'm convinced the new Bond should be wearing a bra and panty set rather than saving the world.
