But anyway, back to topic... Welcome, @Santa !!
The fact is there are women in the audience as well as men. To give half the audience their "eye candy" but not the other half is pretty silly...
But, @0Brady, I do admit I loved the decision to cast Craig, I couldn't wait to see his first film... I admit Craig has huge potiential as Bond... I just don't like CR and QOS... But I hope B23 will be a massive improvement.
We now have a lead who is unashamedly comfortable in his male skin and has turned Bond from being a caricature and laughing stock back to the proud centrepiece he once was. The Babs haters are complaining about the emasculation of Bond which I find rather amusing since the loud shouts for the return of the accoutrements and the androgynous Henry Cavill type will only yet again relegate Bond to the icing on the cake which to me is in itself emasculating the character.
Moore, Brosnan although pleasing to the eye qualify as the nice chaps mom and dad would like. A peck on the cheek after a cup of tea and cucumber sandwiches is as far as their appeal lies with me.
Lazenby and Dalton handsome yes, sex appeal, a step up from Moore and Brosnan.
Connery and Craig are in another league they have the extra ingredient of dessert will be uninhibited, bed breaking orgasmic sex.
I think the response to Craig has reminded some of us what the difference is between the genders. The gasps weren’t so much for the blue trunks but the raw unadulterated frisson of an alpha male to which we’ve somehow lost sight of in the melee of diluting testosterone and replacing it with moisturised eunuchs.
"Nic Nac was a clever little fellow, but he could never quite measure up."
He then precedes to have sex, and the film ends. A much better ending. Not PG-13, but a good ending nonetheless. Now @DC007, you ask why don't some like Moore? Besides all I listed above, they are all most likely fans of Connery and Craig , or even equally likely the serious Dalton. A good laugh in a Bond film is great, but more than a few take you out of the thrill of the film and turn the experience stale. In this regard of staleness, the Moore Bond films are the crusty and aged bread you take and feed to ducks, but to your surprise, not even they want to eat it.
Well at least someone burned Craig's baby blue bathing briefs in time for the QoS shoot.
It does seem that girls in bikinis have been banned from the new pc Babs Bonds.
What's next? Bond in a dress? Never mind.

Then in that great red dress with the ribbons across the back (hint of bondage):

And that's just the beginning of the film! Then there's Vesper:

Pretty gratuitous butt shot as she's walking away...then there's the very sexy shot of her getting dressed, including some "side boobage" from behind, and this subtle but very sexy shot:

Far more sexy IMHO than, say, Britt Ekland standing around in a bikini.
And so what if Craig is shown in short trunks? So was Connery in both GF and TB (and blue, to boot!). And Brosnan was in a bathing suit in GE, so it's not like this is a new development - how many shirtless Bond shots have there been in all the films in every decade? And there *are* women in the audience, too. Why should they not get eye candy as well? Aren't their $10 for a ticket as valid as mine or yours? I don't see why women went gaga over Connery in the early 60s but they aren't supposed to react to Craig in the same way now...

Here, take a look at this advert, produced by EON :
Craig and Dench should have been fired on the spot for making this, and EON should have lost the Bond rights.
