I’ve always been an admirer of the old films where James Bond is actually a SPY. Ask a kid nowadays, what’s James Bond, you’ll see what old Hollywood has done with his image.

Do you mean Dr No and From Russia with Love? After goldfinger bond movies tend to discard reality.
Goldeneye was ok. Daniel Craig looks promising. He definitly is the most muscular James Bond so far.
Exactly. James Bond character has so many adventures piled upon him, that you cannot have this realistic feeling. It’s like Harry Potter.
I like realistic spy movies. Have you seen The Bourne Supremacy? I thought it was pretty good.
No I haven’t, shame on me, I like old Matt Damon a lot, and I’ve heard it’s one of his very best.
I love spy films, there was this TV series aired here, made during the Soviet times about this Russian spy in the Nazi elite, it was awesome, very intelligent and well-done. Dialogue and mystery based, not much action, as I recall the guy shot only one man, mostly he was just collecting information and so on.
Damn, I can’t remember any popular spy films.
I used to be a Nikita fan. That was a great spy series. Every episode used to end with distrust and people stabbing each other in the back. I always thought that was a pretty realistic atmosphere for a spy. Afcourse Im not a spy, but I imagine that if you’re living a life full of lies and death, you end up living in a pretty fucked up environment.
Nikita rules! Well, the first seasons.
I want to buy it on dvd. Unfortunately they’re pretty expensive.
I just got the James Bond Ultimate Limited Collector’s Edition Set in the attache case. All 20 films so far. 40 discs. It is so awesome. I just want to watch James Bond films every day for the rest of my life.
That set fucking owns. How much did you pay for that bad boy?
Well, the hard case was $299 Australian dollars and the Attache case there was $399 Australian dollars. I was going to go for the hard case, but then I thought “fuck it, I’ll spend the hundred dollars on DVDs anyway.” I’d rather have a highly collectable attache case then the hard one in the long run. Per DVD, it works out about the same or less then what I pay for other stuff. It was well worth it.
I wish I could get that ;D
I bet it is worth it.
The restoration work on the Bond films for that Ultimate Collection is some of the best restoration work I have ever seen on a film. Plus, the extras are excellent.
Anyway, news on Casino Royale:
New ‘Bond’ Craig wins rave reviews
British actor Daniel Craig, the controversial choice to play the new James Bond in the upcoming film Casino Royale, has won early reviews Miss Moneypenny would be proud of.
The producers of one of the world’s most successful movie franchises were seen taking a considerable risk with Craig, who angry fans said was too blond, too ugly and insufficiently suave to serve on Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
But if the majority of film critics is anything to go by, the risk has paid off handsomely.
The 38-year-old, with a proven acting pedigree, has been credited with revitalising a series some felt had become bloated and over-reliant on clever gadgets.
“It’s a terrific debut,” wrote the Daily Telegraph’s Sinclair McKay, summing up a weekend of praise from British newspapers eager to get their reviews out early.
"From the very start, he steps with full assuredness into Sean Connery’s old handmade shoes."
The Times’ Wendy Ide appears to take a swipe at some of Craig’s five predecessors in the role by concluding her review: “His main asset quickly becomes evident. He can act”.
Ide also points out that Bond had met his match in other, younger screen spies Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer, who “share Bond’s initials but little else”.
Casino Royale takes viewers back to the beginning of Bond’s life as a spy, allowing director Martin Campbell to introduce character changes most have welcomed.
“This Bond is far more vulnerable than his predecessors,” said David Edwards in British tabloid the Daily Mirror.
"Not only does he have his heart broken, he also winds up almost dead after a beating."
Several reviewers noted one joke that deliberately breaks a Bond tradition. When asked if he wants his vodka martini shaken or stirred, Craig replies: "Do I look like I give a damn?"
Casino Royale is described as darker and more raw than previous films in the series and less reliant on the gadgets that have helped Bond out of countless scrapes.
Only The Observer weekly’s Tim Adams was generally negative, calling the time frame of the film “perplexing” and questioning the filmmakers’ decision to make Bond more real.
“The problem with making Bond more real is that everything around him then seems even more fake than usual,” he said.
The response to Casino Royale will come as a relief to producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who admit they took a risk in casting Craig as Bond.
He replaced the popular Pierce Brosnan, whose last Bond film Die Another Day raked in an estimated $US432 million ($A561 million) at the box office. The franchise has generated billions of dollars over its 44-year lifespan.
The Bond films are produced by EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the media unit of Japan’s Sony Corp.
The film goes on general release on November 17.
I am so looking forward to Casino Royale. the trailers are really promising. I think it’s gonna be good ol’ bond fun

No, but I put the case back in bubble wrap and then into the box when I am not using it.
But I don’t no if you’ll be able to find an attache case locally. There are only like 6,000 of them. You’d have to resort to the internet if there are any left floating around.
