Finally got around to watching The Hobbit last night.
Finally watched Casino Royale. Possibly my favorite Bond movie.
Craig is good...and now very likely my favorite 007. Never thought there would be anyone as good as Connery.

Craig brought back "menace" to Bond. Connery always made me believe he had a "license to kill". In "Doctor No" he shoots the guy in his room stone cold dead without blinking an eye. None of the rest of the Bonds ever made me feel I couldn't take em in a fair fight till Daniel Craig came along. I would never dream of tussling with either Connery nor Craig... ever! They'd eat me alive. Brosnan, Dalton and especially Moore... pheh... no fear, no time no way. Craig's a bad man.... a REALLY bad man!

Watched the first fifteen minutes of it on Syfy last night. Saw it in the theatre when it came out and was wowed by the first fifteen or so minutes. From the start the tone was set that Bond is back in force. After that movie, I felt that finally there was a Bond somewhere close in stature to Connery's Bond.
Not so sure Craig eludes quite the 'elegance' as Connery seemed to portray along with the flip side of brutishness..but his rugged convincing strutting confidence brings something that has been lacking in the role for some time for me.

Well put. Exactly what I thought of it.
The Dark Knight Rises.
http://www.toxichotseatmovie.com/Chemical flame retardants are everywhere. Our furniture. Our homes. Our bodies. But do they work as promised? And are they making us sick?
The three chemical companies producing flame retardants would prefer that we not ask these questions, and they've spent millions of dollars on lobbyists, publicists and influencers to ensure that we don't. It might remind you of the Big Tobacco cover-up. Which makes sense, since Big Tobacco has had a hand in this, too.
Set against the backdrop of the award-winning 2012 Chicago Tribune investigative series "Playing With Fire," TOXIC HOT SEAT threads together an intricate story of manipulation that details how Big Tobacco skillfully convinced fire safety officials to back a standard that, in effect, requires all furniture to be filled with toxic flame retardants. The film continues to untangle how the chemical companies obscure the risks to public health and misrepresent chemical safety data by paying "experts" to alarm legislators and the public about the deadly risk of removing chemical flame retardants from our homes.
Through the personal stories of a cancer-surviving firefighter, a renowned chemist whose work helped remove fire retardants from kid's pajamas in the 1970s, and a brave and determined young Maine legislator and mom, TOXIC HOT SEAT reveals the courage of brave citizens willing to fight for the truth against a shadowy nexus of money and politics.
