    He looks fantastic. I love his hair there too, as part of it comes down across his right forehead as Fleming described for Bond. If that was what he looked like in Bond 25 I'd be very pleased, even though it would be a longer length than we're accustomed to seeing on his Bond.

    By the way, Lupito really seems to have taken to him there, no? If Bond ever heads to Cape Town, which I keep waiting for, I'd love to see her as an African Bond girl.

    Yeah his hair does give him the literary Bond look, the man is looking good! I'd also be up for Bond 25 being set in a more exotic location like South Africa, make it a real adventure.

    The haircut makes him appear younger too. Younger than he looked in SP!

    I could see Lupita as a future Bond girl woman beside Craig. Maybe as a femme fatale type? It could be interesting to see her in a role that's strikingly opposite of her bubbly/friendly personality, no?

    I've mentioned this as a plot before, but I'd love for one of Bond's ex loves and colleagues, either from his navy days or 00 ones, to start up her own private military company in Africa that has seedy connections to it. Bond goes on the chase for the group, who are acting under the guidance of a mysterious larger villain, and he unwittingly comes upon the woman all those years later.

    I think it'd be a less personal angle than we've seen in the series for decades now, where just one aspect of the film is personal to Bond and not a massive part of it.

    Photos of Craig at yesterday's "Hand in Hand" fundraiser, which benefits those affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Pics are from Luptia Nyongo'o on Twitter. (Sorry, I still don't know how to embed tweets here.)

    Good stuff. Not at all surprised Dan is supporting yet another worthy cause.

    That is fantastic, lets hope it is spent wisely on the people affected by this disaster.

    She's already fulfilling that role in the upcoming black panther film.

    I'm not sure what happened to Daniel Craig here in Toronto-- he was supposed to be at the premiere of KINGS.

    Although I didn't have tickets, one of my daughter's and I still went to the red carpet; got there nice and early, got good spot (not inside, but on the outside of the barricades).

    We saw the cast, including Halle Berry (wow... just WOW!), the director, and a few supporting stars...

    It seemed the media was then waiting for Craig to arrive.

    Word quickly spread, however, that he wasn't coming.

    I've already left a message for @jake24, who was lucky enough to score tickets for the film (how was it Jake?), to see if DC slipped the carpet and entered another way, or, was a he a no-show...

    The film was a strong one. Although a bit slow in points the story and performances were excellent throughout. And yes, it is my understanding that Craig was busy doing the charity thing in NY and couldn't attend. It was cool to see Halle though, what a stunner!

    I figured the out of nowhere charity stuff had Dan unable to attend. Great to hear that he shines in yet another film, though. Really great that he got to get out of his box in so many ways, on stage and off, since SP.

    So charity for a Bond fan? Well, that is different.

    That was pretty clear sarcasm to me. Thundy is a lot of things, but he's not a barbarian. Well, at least when he's not at the dinner table. ;)

    To apologize for the misunderstanding he's actually decided to pledge $5 million (each!) to the Texas and Florida relief funds.

    Isn't that right, @Thunderfinger?
