Craig's Cries

John Towers The Crying Game

The constant complaining, griping, whining, and general whinging being displayed
by Craig is most unbecoming of James Bond, another one of his facets that has
proven incompatible with the iconic role. None of current Bond’s predecessors ever
had to stoop to such lows.

Now as for the contents of his complaints, they are completely spurious and I
dismiss them. Tho not without merit nor reasons. And I never do anything without
due thought or consideration.
As for reserving judgment, Craig’s judgment has waited too long as it is. We have
watched his films, read his biography, studied his photos, watched the teaser trailer
and read every press clipping published. We know Craig better than he knows
himself. We have witnessed at a distance the desecration of our beloved hero at the
hands of those who were supposed to know him best, with protecting him and his
image supposedly in their hearts.

I’m amazed at the audacity to demand people see his movie. This is a blatant
attempt, not to win fans, but to con chumps. No different for a circus barker
promising you wonders and amazement beyond you wildest dreams, only to find a
jar of putrid jelly that was supposed to be the 8th wonder of the world. They will not
offer your money back after being duped, only sneer with distain.
That is what Craig is asking us to do, pony up the exorbitant ticket price adding to
the coffers of EON. I am thinking now of all those people who will give Craig a
chance but only find disappointment walking out of the theater before the movies
ends shaking their heads in disbelief. There will be no recourse for them.
It would be different if EON was offering a money back guarantee or free preview
showings to win over those disaffected. But they are not, instead they offer more
contempt and an audacious demand for compliance.

Craig has been talking out of both sides of his mouth, promising one group certain
things and another other things. To those of us who doubt him, he promises the
same Bond we have loved, we know this is not true because they have changed the
fundamental nature of Bond. Changing him from a hero to a man who is almost
indistinguishable from the villain. The charm and the wit has been cut out, the
sophistication has been bludgeoned. This new Bond is not the same character
known from the movies nor even from the depths of the darkest folds of Ian Fleming’
s imagination.

For those who tentatively are supportive of him he boasts of the fundamental
changes in Bond to brutal, bloody, clumsy, ogre. Gritty and realism are his
keywords for ugly and unabashedly violent. The bloody pummeling of mans head
into a urinal for instance.
He has turned Bond from seasoned professional to inept amateur. Besmirching the
reputations of our men and women in the Special Forces. No wonder the Royal
Marines gave Craig a boat ride he would never forget.

Craig asserts in Casino Royale we get to watch Bond “becoming the man we love
to hate.” Who among us actually feels that way about Bond and can sill be
considered a Bond fan?
Daniel also asserts “We're discovering him and he's got rough edges,” There is
always room for growth in a character especially when you go from younger to
older incarnation, however the metamorphosis we are expected to buy, from a
complete cretin to distinguished man is too incredible for words.

Craig braggadociously goes on “Certain things he does should be questionable. I
think you should go, 'F**k, that's not nice,” Here again Craig shows his complete
incomprehension of the character. Yes, Bond does have some darker moments,
especially in the books, but he was never indistinguishable from the bad guys and
he was never a malicious person or acted maliciously without want.

If the rumors are true they have also changed Bond from a Navy man to an Army
man. Yes, I’m sure that’s exactly what Commander Ian Fleming of the Royal Navy
had in mind when he penned Casino Royale.

The evidence is in; there are plenty of reasons to reject this man and this
interpretation of a remedial Bond.
The Public should have been settling down, resigning themselves to a mediocre
cinematic foray. They have not, every time Daniel Craig appears in a public venue
more people join the number of those of us calling for a boycott. People care too
much about Bond to let this happen quietly. A mockery is being made of one of the
most recognizable figures of the modern age. And the world is lucky enough to
have a plethora of people who will speak out against Craig’s abysmal interpretation
in order to save the memory of a much cherished ideal, so future generations might
also have the chance to come to appreciate this uniquely engrossing phenomenon.

Daniel Craig claims to have watched every Bond movie 3-4 times, then he says he
threw it all out. Guess what, we can tell the difference.
Too bad he didn’t hold on to those past movies a little longer, absorbing their
essence; he would have noticed something different about them, the heart. All of
the old movies had heart, and so did all of the Bonds for that matter. This new Bond
and this ill-conceived reboot are an abomination.

Daniel Craig, you have been judged and found wanting, lacking, and utterly
unsuitable. Please submit your resignation now and apologies to the fans for your
selfish, myopic view of things and your contribution to the horrendous desecration
of a worldwide treasure.
Boycott Casino Roayle!
