Oh. My. Word. Matt Damon move over. Seriously. Get out of my closet.

Last week I saw Casino Royale. I’ve never been a James Bond fan. Everyone said, "It doesn’t matter. This is the one you should see. You’ll love the James Bond franchise after this one."
Well, they were partially right. I’m still not a fan of the 007 movies. However, I’m now a HUGE fan of Daniel Craig. He’s exactly the right mix of totally hot and completely hot for me.
I will be watching him paint his living room and brush his teeth just as soon as that unauthorized DVD is released to the public.
In other news, Leonardo DiCaprio has finally grown up and started to act. I’ve been listening to the hype since Titanic and waiting for it to happen in reality. I’ll grant that he was pretty good in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, but since then I haven’t seen much to impress me. Gangs of New York was not great, The Aviator was only interesting because of the subject matter–I didn’t completely buy him as Howard Hughes, but I wanted to hear the story.
That’s all changed. Little Leo’s all grown up as Danny Archer in Blood Diamond. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. I was blown away. (However, I’m not in the ‘Leo-is-hot’ camp. He looks a little like Eddie Munster to me.)
And did I mention you should buy Casino Royale just for the eye candy? Because Daniel Craig does not look like Eddie Munster. Oh my word, ladies. Just look at him. I don’t know if I’ll get anything at all done today.

Oh, I so agree on both counts! Daniel Craig—- HOT—- Let me know about the teeth brushing video, I’m interested. DiCaprio has definitely grown into a fine actor, (although I do not find him hot) loved both of those movies. Youur blog always provides a laugh and a smile, thanks.
Hahaha! I don’t typically go for blonds, but if that picture is any indication… YUM.
What a lovely way to start the morning… a cup of strong coffee and that picture. Hot,hot,hot.
“He’s exactly the right mix of totally hot and completely hot for me.”
You NUT.
He’s AAAAch OOOOh Teeeee. HOT. I don’t usually comment on the “hotness” of men, but even my husband thinks he’s hot after seeing “casino royale”…so that gives me permission to rave about his heat factor. We must have watched that movie 5 times when we rented it. He’s got three other movies out I plan on renting too!
Blood Diamond is a wonderful movie in spite of the fact that Leo is in it. I have never understood the hype over him either!
I’m a big fan of the right mixture of “hot and totally hot” men. And while I usually don’t like blondes, he works it.
I totally agree with you for acting Leonardo has totally grown up.
But for hotness…

You can thank me later.
Maybe I need to see the movie, but I just don’t find him hot. And I totally agre about Leo. I was just thinking about that yesterday (because I’m that deep) how it’s like “old Hollywood” again with so many handsome leading men actually turning out to be really good actors — like Clooney, Pitt and Leo. The Holy Trinity if you ask me

NoNoNo! Shannon STOLE my line!! I even have it “cut” right now, ready to paste, dang it! That line got me giggling out loud. Yes, you have piqued my curiosity enough to rent it. Tad will appreciate it, because he IS a fan of Bond movies.
and was plum worn out after it was over. There was NO redemption in the end, and when a movie like that wins the Oscar…well, it makes me realize I am WAAAYYY out of the Hollywood loop…as if I were ever “in” lol.
.
Oh, and the Leo thing. The night the Academy Awards was on, I coincidentally rented “The Departed” w/him, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and others. Geezaree, I lost count on the f-bombs
Anyhoo, I’ve wanted to see “Blood Diamond” and almost chose it that night instead of “The Departed”…now I wish I had of, thanks to your little posty-poo.
Still crushed on you, though
Holy COW you’re right. The Boyfriend and I just watched Casino Royale a couple of days ago. The scene with him coming out of the ocean? OH. MY. LORD. I think I drooled a little.
Good call. He was delicious in this. I think I’ll buy myself…I mean…The Boyfriend a copy of this DVD for myself…I mean…for him because I know he likes James Bond.
Ahem.
So I’m going to have to rent that one now… I’m usually a “It’s a Bond movie? Oh then no thanks” kind of gal because I’ve not been impressed by any of them. I may see it, but only because it is a good flick.
And I’m sorry, I just can’t get Leo’s well-earned name out of my head to give him another chance: Leo DiCrappio. And he does nothing for me. And why should he when I’m already married to the hottest/most romantic/best-in-bed man on earth. At least he is to me, and that’s all that matters in the whole scheme of things. And I’ll take THAT over eye candy anyday!
Oooh, he is definitely hot! I’ve been wanting to see that movie.
You totally crack me up.
Okay, if you’re now a Daniel Craig fan you must see Layer Cake. Just watched it a few nights ago and found myself marveling on my own ability to look past those ears and see total hotness.
Also, Blood Diamond WAS a terrific example that Leo is finally an actor. I think he did a great job in The Departed as well. I also think he’s growing into his reputation as a pin-up. Like Daniel Craig there is something inherently suave and handsome in a well seasoned actor.
He’s scrumptious.
T. knows I totally dig Daniel Craig and that’s OK because he got to buy the movie and I’ll sit and watch it with him anytime. As long as I don’t pant too loud that is…
I deserve at least one drool-boy ‘cuz he’s got: Kate Beckensdale, Rene Russo, Amy Lee from Evanessence, Keira Knightly, Julianne Moore, yadda, yadda, yadda.
(PS – Ask him about Mandy Moore sometime, hehe)
OMIGOSH! I’m so in lust with Daniel Craig after seeing Casino Royale, too! I’m glad I’m not the only one!
MMm……delicioso! (Think ‘Dora’). Yes, I am sad.
Since we’re all in lust with Daniel I have a YouTube Video to pass on. It was made in the UK for Comic Relief ‘07. Great cause! But the concept of this story is WAY too funny ! Enjoy everyone…hope it works for me to link here. If not, just cut and paste
I guess.

Speaking of eye candy, Laylee is in love with your picture on the site. As I was putting her to bed for the night, she said, “If you go on the computer and see a lady with a crazy nose, that’s named chilihead!” And she laughed and laughed.
yummy!
I first saw Daniel Craig in “Enduring Love,” where he plays a super-wimpy professor who is being stalked. I can’t believe he’s the same guy in your photo. He’s also going to be in “His Dark Materials,” my number one most anticipated film of the year.
I am agree with all of you that Daniel Craig is so hot and yummy. i have always been a james bond fan, but WOW what a bod. i watched my copy of Casino Royal twice today and didn’t get any of my house work done.
Speaking of hot, peep THIS guy! Also a James Bond alum: http://www.compleatseanbean.com/
