Three Cheers For Babs!

I would like to take a moment and praise Barbara B.
Everyone and his brother thought Babs had lost her mind when she hired the rugged-looking Daniel Craig.
Consider this: Craig is absolutely 100% her choice and, as such, we should give her a well-deserved pat on the back.
More than that, look at the circumstances: an unpopular initial choice turns out to be a sensational Bond, CR is respected by the critics and the film is breaking box-office records. The guys think Craig rocks and the ladies...when was the last time a 007 was making the ladies flock to the theater?
Credit Babs for that. Craig seemed right to her as a producer AND as a woman. (Do not underestimate this factor: in 1961, Cubby asks his wife Dana her opinion of rough-diamond Connery. "Thats our Bond" she replies. Like mother, like daughter?)
(Can you imagine Cubby and Harry taking a chance on someone who looks like Craig? I think not.)
And lets not forget: after DAD there were a lot of people who had lost confidence in Bond. Not only did Barbara and Michael G. rejuvenate the series...it was done without Cubby. (Pierce was always Cubby's choice)
For the first time since Cubby died I feel the series is back on track... the future looks exciting and the possibilties are endless...and all this was done by a woman who had to overcome the pressure of intense expectations.
Barbara is not just Cubby's daughter anymore, folks.
She is now the boss...and all power to her.
"World domination, Same old dream."

My wife has always obliged me by attending Bond films when they get released. She could always take him or leave him but she always went because she knew I enjoyed the films.
This particular film was antother story entirely. I have heard her tell several of her friends that they really should see the film, and how incredibly hot Daniel Craig is as Bond.
Did BB know what she was doing when she cast Craig in the role? In a word...absolutely.
