Bond Premiere

Posted December 4th, 2006 by jhuny

Managed to score a couple of tickets to tonight's premiere of Casino Royale at the State Theatre. Woo hoo! I got to flash my magic pass and walk down the red carpet with DB. None of the photographers bothered to take a picture of us, despite me positively glowing from my morning facial and DB looking stunning in her slinky black dress. Oh well... Bondy was rather late, which wasn't very surprising - Sydney traffic is crap and Market Street was reduced to a slow crawl. But we did get to see his arrival (luckily I know all the right people!) despite the ushers shepherding everyone into the theatre so that he wouldn't have to deal with us plebs.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

The movie was pretty good and Daniel Craig really is hot as James Bond. The incredible first action scene had JB running after scarface monkey-man as he effortlessly jumped up and over a construction site. Even the mid-movie card game kept us on the edge. You get to see alot of Sony products in the movie, by the way, not to mention a Ford car (before JB develops a penchant for Aston Martin) and JB falling in love, of all things. If anything, it's slightly too long but still pretty exciting.
