My Name Is Craig. Daniel Craig.

Way to busy to do a proper quizzlet today. Meetings, dentist, interns and the like. But as always I'll get to it over the weekend. In the meantime, please discuss the hot topic of the day - and no, it has nothing to do with a bombing, Nicole Richie or a natural disaster. Although these are often synonymous. I'm here all week - try the martinis.

Since my #1 choice didn't want the role, I am now quite happy with the selection of Daniel Craig as the next ("grittier and darker") 007. If you've seen Layer Cake, you know this guy can pull of some serious action. His rugged fugliness is also a departure from the poofiness of Brosnan, Moore and Dalton - and a bit of a throwback to the tougher, more mean-spirited and thuggish Bond that Sean Connery brought to the screen.

This publicity photo, the first of Craig as Bond, really says it all. "The actor said he was not looking to redefine the role, but added: "It's a question of taking it somewhere maybe where it's never gone before." Oh, James.
