Bond, James Bond

Bus to the movie theater: $2

Two tickets to see Quantum of Solace on Saturday: $12 (love those matinees!)

Actually seeing James Bond at the theater: Priceless

So I went to buy some advance tickets to Quantum of Solace and accidentally stumbled onto the New York premiere. I saw Jamie Hector go in (oh Marlo) as well as Julia Stiles and Debra Messing (yawn) and Jeffrey Wright who I am looking forward to seeing in the movie. There was a crowd forming by the door so I decided to give it a few minutes and lo and behold Daniel Craig and his girlfriend made their quick exit into a large SUV (hybrid of course). He completely ignored a group of fans who had been waiting awhile for autographs which prompted a chorus of boos. The SUV got stuck at the light at the end of the block so some intrepid fans ran up to the window but Craig held his ground. I let the SUV turn in front of me as I crossed the street so I could get one last peek of him through the window. Autographs or no, Craig still makes one great Bond - I'm so excited to see the film!
