[bond] seems to be thumbs up all round

Papers report: On Tuesday night, it was a premium Bond who stepped out into a damp Leicester Square for the world premiere of Casino Royale in front of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Hailed as a worthy successor to Sean Connery, Craig, the publican's son from near Liverpool, seemed resigned to his fate: years of reckless driving, ruthless womanising and brutal killing for Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service — not to mention the odd few million in box office takings.

Craig, 38, who was accompanied by his American girlfriend, Satsaki Mitchell, 29, wasn't smiling much as he entered the Odeon cinema and didn't linger too long. He offered: "This is pretty good, I can't explain how this feels."

Just what is it with Bond? The Queen's a devotee, you probably are too, I certainly am. Why? The bulk of those Bond films were duds anyway and even the good ones had their weak points - so why do we keep coming back for more? I'm waiting for it to open to shell out the hard-earned to watch some guy get his goolies minced. Strange.
