As If We Needed Pursuading

A few seconds new footage but, really, is there anyone who isn't going to see 'Skyfall'.

Smart Writing Avoids Being Too Smart

Easy to watch. They're tough yet vulnerable. Need each other but won't admit it even to themselves. Nicely cut.

Minimalist, Good

Nice grainy 35mm look.

Skyfall/Omega Watch Commercial

Yes. Looks very nice.

Let's have a look at the watch itself, shall we. On the front, very tastefully done, is the 007 logo with a diamond at the 7 o'clock position.

And, see, on the back there's the rifling from the opening sequence along with what looks like the back of a center-fire round.

Still from 'Skyfall'

Javier Bardem in full Chigurh as Silva.

As we know, the protagonist can only be as good as the antagonist is bad. Weak bad guy, lame good guy. As such, if they can sell Silva as someone so dangerous he has to be held in a special cell, well, Bond will have to rise to the occasion, and we'll have a story we can sink our teeth into.

'No Country for Old Men' proved how intense a portrayal Bardem is capable of. The guy brings it. So, I have high hopes for his turn as Silva. I mean, why would an actor with that kind of track record accept a role as a half-assed politically correct bad guy?

It follows that Daniel Craig's Bond will be swinging for the fences.

The writers certainly have pedigree. Patrick Marber (Notes on a Scandal, Closer). John Logan (Hugo, Rango, Gladiator, The Last Samurai). Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Quantum of Solace, Casino Royale, Die Another Day).

Then, of course, there's the direction by Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and the transcendental cinematography by Roger Deakins.

'Skyfall' is looking like the best Bond yet.

Glorious Trailer for 'Skyfall'

Glorious? Yeah. Every bit. And, I hate Bond.

A blond Javier Bardem -- devastating. Daniel Craig looking sharp. And, that picture courtesy Roger Deakins -- just plain beautiful.

Oh, by the way...this looks close to redefining the franchise. 

Check the wink at 2:20.

Man, the cinematography in this.

Visually Stunning Trailer for 'Skyfall'

I don't care for Bond. Never have. The sexism always made James come off a tad insecure. Never liked the look, either. Camera work has always been perfunctory. Here, though, we've got an entirely new ball game with Sam Mendes helming and Roger Deakins behind the camera. This trailer is cut. Very easy on the eyes.

Don't know if Craig's Bond will seem insecure or not but whatever he does he'll look good.

Try it without sound.
