    in Where does Bond go after Craig? Comment by jetsetwilly October 2020
  • Just watched the interview with Craig on the Fallon Show. Two things jumped out at me - 1) Craig definitely doesn't suit short, skinhead hair. SF proved that, and seeing that interview reminded me of the fact. 2) The clip. Wow! I'm back on boa…
