    Craig had a sort of Tintin vibe going on there.

    No, not really. There were lots of positive tweets - much more then negative all day. I think, from what I saw and read, he did ok with it and those, who liked it appreciated his take on doing humor, which was the idea, I assume.

    I read 3 articles, that were negative and 2 better ones so far...personally I enjoyed the promo clip best and those inbetween skit bits with him.

A friend of mine was at the rehearsals and said, he was very nervous, as was to be expected. He is the guy, who almost throws up when having to present at the Oscars. Sad, they haven't done any better writing for this episode. They could have made better use of him.

    When did he almost do that??

    Well, I was exaggerating a bit, but rewatch his two presentings and you will see, how he speaks very fast and in 2009 he is messing with his text 3 times and forgets one time, that he is due to speak and SJP had to do it for him. This is what I call "almost throwing up or wetting his pants" Mind you, I love his courage to do it nevertheless and this SNL took probably more nerve to do then any stunt he ever did.

    The full episode will be shown Oct. 10 here

    That is heavily exaggerated. Just because someone is nervous doesn't mean they are spouting a leak or upchucking. Regardless, I agree that this was probably tough for him, and that is why I admire him so much.

    Thanks for the intro and the whole episode. Not too bad and from what I hear a mixed bag was to be expected.

    I'll watch it later today.

    It worked for me! I'm watching it right now. Not exactly the kind of humour I'm used to but Craig's doing good!

    That is heavily exaggerated. Just because someone is nervous doesn't mean they are spouting a leak or upchucking. Regardless, I agree that this was probably tough for him, and that is why I admire him so much.

    One of the things that I admire about Craig is that his Bond is so supremely confident, yet it's all acting.

    With Connery's Bond you get the feeling that, well, he's just being Connery. Yet Craig in real life is apparently very different than his Bond, which makes the performance all the more impressive. For example, some actors try to portray a character who is tough and confident and they come across as trying too hard, like a little boy trying act act tough. Yet Craig has the conviction to make it real.

    A reporter who has interviewed Craig was surprised at how "regular guy" he was, but also that he seemed a little vulnerable. Reading his body language she could see how nervous he was on the red carpet, and then when she interviewed him she noted how open and honest he was and that he wasn't the uber-macho guy she expected to see. The two things she said she was surprised by was that he was taller than she expected ("reassuringly tall" she said) and that he had a nervous giggle! I think that this side of Craig was on display during his opening monologue on SNL - he's speaking rather fast and there are a lot of superfluous arm gestures.

    Just watched it (thanks for the download link @GermanLady, great quality!) and it was OK, some funny parts, but a little bland. I mostly liked the part that Craig wasn't in I'm afraid (not because of him, but because the sketches with him where rather dull), I laughed my @ss off during the painter bit, the political sketches where funny, I liked the Bond 50 bit, and the bit with the British stereotypes was alright. And Big Bird was funny in an unnecessary way.

    Are there any streaming links online? If not, I'll just wait until the 10th to see it, although the episode doesn't seem to be that great.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I was, but my girlfriend and I had a huge 'The Walking Dead' marathon, and it was 11:40 PM by the time I realized I missed it, and I hate jumping into things late.

    Plus, season two of 'The Walking Dead' is getting great, and I want to finish it so I can introduce her to the lovely world of Cumberbatch's 'Sherlock.'

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, on second thought, I may skip out on having her join me in 'Sherlock;' I haven't seen any of the second season, and she is eerily skilled at guessing twists and endings to films, TV shows, and mini series. I can't count how many things her and I have watched together that she has called the big twist on in the past. I'll have to give her something mind-blowing, like 'The Prestige.'
