But he has become more of an unemotional killer in the shape of Daniel Craig, even though I quite like him as an actor. I feel a bit sorry for him somehow, because behind his tough stoneface, I can see that he's not in harmony or happy at all. Poor chap. Bitterness all over his face and he has to make strong efforts to express himself verbally. Well, he's after revenge for the girl that was killed in Casino Royale.

It's another character all together than the one that Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan played, where the elegance and humour existed. Still, like most of us old Bond fans, persist to say, the real James Bond was of course Sean Connery and that will never change. I rank Daniel Craig as number 3, behind Roger Moore.

One early Sunday morning in the outskirts of London 1990, when I was out for a longer run along the Thames, I actuall ran into Roger, during a shooting of the film "Bullseye".

I was almost back home at Kew after 20 km's around Richmond Park and along the river, when I spotted a film crew and 2 older gentlemen in Scottish kelts, sitting waiting in chairs all by themselves. Roger Moore & Michael Caine. It felt unreal, because there were only the film crew, Roger & Michael and me there. So I hurried back home to have a quick shower and change, then back to the film shooting with some friends. I had a short talk with Roger, who was very polite and took some interested in me because I was from Sweden. I didn't know then that he had a Swedish wife. A funny memory that I have was that, I noticed that Michael Caine felt a bit bypassed/ignored/bored during our conversation. It's also easy to read the different attitude towards us on the photos that we took together. Roger Moore & Pelle smiling happily together, next to Michael Caine with an apathetic look on his face. The movie was really really bad. Perhaps my fault, who put Michael Caine in a sour mode. Check this review http://www.leninimports.com/michael_winner_bullseye.html I agree fully.

It was a big pleasure tonight anyhow, to watch the 22nd Bond movie in a big theatre (Bergakungen), sitting on the front row, feeling the explosions and action scenes through vibrations in the chairs. I recommend you to see it, likewise I recommended to see the latest Rocky & Rambo movies. Films of no importance what so ever, but still ... Boys are still boys.
