James Bond Casino Royale 2006

I’ve just watched CNN’s report on the brand new Casino Royale (old version released on 1967). Hala Gorani, CNN’s anchor, makes some interviews with key figures of the film including the new 007 star Daniel Craig, the film director Martin Campbell and some film analyst. Many controversies in the run-up of the making process of this film especially on the rationale of picking Daniel Craig as the actor.

For those who have been the zealot followers of James Bond movies with all its images the film (and the novel from which it emanate), the director’s pick of actor Daniel Craig is questionable. Craig is, frankly speaking, not an attractive looking guy to be able to attract a woman attention in the first sight; nor has he got a flamboyant, elegant and/or cool look as his most predecessors have that successfully drives many women fans around the world. I’ve never read any survey on how many percent of James Bond fans from the gender perspective; but I dare to say, most of them are women.

And if it’s true, the new James Bond’s Casino Royale will lost its most fanatic fans.

Despite having received many appreciations– dubbed as one of the best James Bond 007 movies ever–there are sceptical voices on whether it could make it a box office. Just to refresh your memory, the Pierce Brosnan’s Die Another Day gained USD 500 million. Afterall, film-making is about making money. Daniel Craig might have licence to kill and to act marvellously in the film. But, wheter he has the licence to sell remains to be seen.

To any fanatic fan of James Bond, especially woman, are you going to watch Daniel Craig, I mean, James Bond’s Casino Royale 2006?

    You’re making the mistake of trying to speak for all women. Since the release of “CASINO ROYALE”, Daniel Craig has become something of a sex symbol . . . especially for women. He may not be amongst the most handsome of men, but he is good looking and charasmatic enough to attract the attention of a lot of females.

    CNN’s Arab Propagandist Hala Gorani introduces us to a western-type Arab singer ‘Caramel’ as if that’s a ‘normal Arab today’.

    11/2/07

    The Arab Hala Gorani http://edition.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/gorani.hala.html introduces us on http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/ywt/ to a western-type Arab singer ‘Caramel’ as if that’s a ‘normal Arab today’.

    The Arab Hala Gorani has a long history on CNN to ‘glorify Middle east cultures’ on her show ‘Inside the Middle east’ http://edition.cnn.com/CNNI/Programs/middle.east/, she’s a master on picking & selecting the rare and never on the mainstream. In other words, not showing reality but being a propaganda tool for the Arab world, when no one speaks [really] for the west in that wild jungle of hatred.

    In this age of “multiculturalism” that is nothing but a tool by Islamists, it’s not the time to lie and be a propaganda machine instead of showing what’s most important, what most Arab Muslims have by in large, intolerant mostly that is, from their burning venomous mainstream media to the ‘guy on the Arab street’, the dark cult of the ‘angry Arab’ from their native world onto Paris or Amsterdam or Sydney, etc. is being cheered and boosted by Arab journalists and leadership.

    Until the Arab Muslim leadership & media will not change, this cult will only keep growing no matter what “excuse” they try so hard to sell us.

    A suggestion to Her ‘Inside the middle east’, Like to select postivity in that world? start showing us [exactly] how many in that world like the west [no matter what ‘policy’ we take].

    This is another [from 2006] example of that Arab Hala Gorani

    This is just such powerful proof of how lame the Media-Left have become. The CNN interview of Abdurahmen Jafar of the Muslim Council of Britain conducted by Hala Gorani is just too aggravating. Especially when the rotten twit compares the 12 cartoons to anti-Semitic cartoons during the Nazi era in Germany as an indication that Europe is now 60 years on “re-learning to hate”. Yeah right - he might as well have said in the middle of the night, the sun is up, let’s switch off the lights with Hala obligently replying “Your right, it’s practically glaring in here. Someone switch the lights of pleeease”. How can she let him get away wih this blatant distortion; as CNN’s hostess of ‘Inside the Middle East’, a half-hour programme featuring stories on the “most important social and cultural issues in the region”, surely she must be aware of the daily plethora of precisely such Nazi style hate cartoons published unabatedly THROUGHOUT the last 60 years.
