Poor Craig just can't buy a victory. I honestly thought he was going to win at least a few of his matches so far, especially the QoS ones. Maybe CR vs. DAD is next. See if DAD can crack double digits.

...but then again, for me Quantum of Solace works better in a deconstructed form than as a finished product, so this would seem about right.

I'm glad TWINE is thrashing it. I think Craig is great and I loved CR and SF but I think QoS was a massive let down. A pretentious mess of a film which I think gets way more praise from members here than it actually deserves.
TWINE on the other hand is one of the most underrated Bond films imo. It's been one of my favourites since I first saw it and I'm glad it's winning.
