As always, it's great to see Dan involved in and being the ambassador to so many great causes. Whether it's his work in the past with eye care in India or his ongoing fight to get IEDs out of the Middle East, I really respect him for using his platform for causes that can help the rest of the world and its people to go on much better than they'd been before. In a world where world governments don't seem to give a damn about climate while throwing out regulation rules for factories so they can pollute and get rich freely (like my own country), it's nice to see people are willing to stand up for what's right and protect a planet that none of us own and that we have no right to abuse.
Agreed. But I think the Orbis eye lab was in Mongolia.

Ah, right you are. Maybe I should get my eyes checked?
..Not too mention too ugly as well. Thank good, we have Turner to turn to.
He should grow it out like this and cast Mark Strong as the villain:
I know he and Daniel are very good friends, remember seeing those shots of the two together pre-SP and getting optimistic over the prospect of him joining the film in some capacity. Would love to see it happen, especially if Craig is coming back for one more.
Strong would've been an interesting Blofeld in the Savalas tradition, for his deep voice and the very large nature of him (physically). I enjoy Waltz, but he's not a physical threat to Bond, just like Pleasence and Gray weren't to Sean.

An interesting read on how Steven Soderbergh intends to release 'Logan Lucky', and some new details on DC's character.
Craig looks good. With the hair combed down more a bit I'd say he'd look about like he did in QoS. Probably my favorite of his Bond looks.
That'd spice up the Bond universe, that's for sure: Bond subtly attempting to make the mullet popular once again.
"I've left MI6, so I'm going to be letting my hair down. In more ways than one."
That's TOO far. Too, too far.
I think the only miss was SF, but that was a purposeful move to age him, so I see why they did so. I think QoS is his best, or he simply just looked the best at that time and place. His look, the suits, the way he was shot all made him feel so incredibly Bondian. I think he looks really nice with the short hair pat down, but I have no objections to his SP look, as I thought he looked day and night (in age) from SF.
I don't like it when they slick his hair, however. He doesn't have the face for how they'd style Connery, and I'm glad they didn't push that kind of style on him outside the casino scene of SF.
One can only hope! [-O<
It is more about his disenchantment than his age, but him looking weary helps paint the picture of his anger because you let yourself go when you don't care anymore or feel unwanted. He's not upset because he's too old to do the job, it's because he wasn't trusted to do what M and others know he can do. It's why he falls off the deep end for months with no notice and says, "Piss on it. If you don't want me, I'll go." It's only when MI6 are in danger that his ego is forced to repair itself once something important kicks his ass into gear.
And even when he's trying to get back into it and stumbling, it's not age stopping him, just a wound in his shoulder and a body that's been taken out of its cycle of activity.
Exactly!
@talos7, glad you agree. I think some get the meaning of that part of SF twisted. And I think part of that is down to people taking the subjective views of the characters at face value without looking deeper. Because Mallory says Bond is past it and Moneypenny calls him an "old dog," they believe the film is then about an old Bond finding youth again, when there's a bigger idea at play that cuts into what you say: vanity, some pride and also the ego or confidence he places in his work. Just because a character has an opinion about Bond doesn't mean that what they say of him is true, or that we as an audience have to believe it. Like in QoS where everybody calls Bond a traitor who can't be trusted, but we as the audience know his motives are pure. In SF just because people think Bond is a passe, aging mass without his youth doesn't mean that's what is really going on there. It's the opinion of those characters subjectively derived, nothing more, and Bond only speaks for himself.
As we see, the only character besides Bond who ultimately believes in him in SF and sees through all the talk of him being past it is M, who is also of the view that you can always keep pushing no matter what you face because she' made similar lapses. She realizes as she always has that Bond's obstacles aren't manifested as physical barriers. Bond is all about the mental challenges, and ultimately, it's trust that he values most. He can handle a fight and shoot a gun straight as an arrow, but he can't account for people backing him up and believing in him. He can do most things on his own, but that trust he needs to get from others. It's why he gets so insanely upset with Vesper at the end of CR, because he's blind and all he can see is a woman who appeared to abuse his trust. When M does a similar thing and makes it seem like she doesn't count on him to do his job, he takes that to heart more than anything. It goes beyond pride. The job is Bond's life, and to be judged and told by people who don't understand him that he can't do it anymore cuts deep, especially when he's aware of what is really bugging him beyond his cuts, bruises and wearing bones that he can just push through. But ultimately he proves himself in the end as always, and shows people what he's always made of.
I thought he looked much older in SP, despite the longer hair. Particularly in that opening scene in M's office.
He had lines and stress marks sagging all over his face in some SF scenes, and that's what really made me believe in the journey of Bond rising from the ashes. In SP his swagger offsets a lot of aging I see in him, which isn't a lot anyway.
