Daniel Craig Gets Rugged in Russia

Looking sharp!

3rd!!! The quickest I’ve been… at least he’s out of the more bulkier sling.

:)

Now for the Scandanavian ones!

is that sats on the far left???

He’s not entirely handsome, but I can’t figure it out…
why does he make me weak in the knees???
He’s so offbeat, tough, nonchalant sexy!!! IMO.
I’d like to kiss his boo-boo!

Dear Sats,

I really wish you wouldn’t use my photobucket link to post pictures here. I’m breaking the link just because you are to lazy to find your own photos.

Take care,

Jonijoni.

Sorry, but he ain’t cutting it…

aw, poor Joni. Flattery, know it when you see it,dear

I’m sorry, I was just sharing them, didn’t realize it wasn’t allowed. Do you have exclusive rights on them? Just asking then I won’t do it.

FYI: someone sent these to me..so I apologize but I mean, dont you want people to see the pics?

To JoniJoni… I hope you’re getting on other sites too, because others on the ‘net are posting the links (unless you’ve cut them).

Where did you get them? Are you a professional photog?

that doesnt make a person lazy! they just wanted to share that’s all!

i agree, unless you own those pics then they can be shared if not then why post them on d2d? i have seen those before they were posted here on another place

we are all here for one thing and that is to look at Daniel, no-one has rights over him (except Sats!!!..lol)

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/film/article1801847.ece

could be her yes..she has the skin tone

I don’t go on websites and search for pics of him, I just come on here!

I guess that does make me lazy but I appreciate the pics whoever they come from. :)

I have to agree though the man looks rough, I read somewhere that he has been ordered to take it easy by the doctors. The Sun I think posted a story.

How is this resting? Strange time to get an operation done.

Poor bloke.

Hi Kitty, where’s Tiger?

That’s my prate.

saw other photos of him on another sites and they all apart from one or two, look not so good of him

he look so bad and hurting he looks better when he smiles

She’s stunning and he’s very handsome. He has a gentleman/roughneck quality that I like. I don’t like pretty boys :)

Welcome back, Lou! :D !!!

Dan quoted at the
Moscow conference

“I have very good relationship with alcohol. Vodka is wonderful”

1 video
http://news.ntv.ru/142223/

The Moscow pics are all over the other websites as well as the Stockholm ones, none of the the gf

nice to see pics of just him for a change and olga

this is what it should be about, just the cast not anyone else!

nice to see a beautiful woman on his arm for a change

but Halloween candy will be out soon

Lou Over ..i mean Lou lOver nice to hear from you!! I thought you’re girlfriend banned you from coming on here till you found her that handbag!! lol! ;)

Daniel looks as gorgeous as ever on the Stockholm pics!! I can’t seem to stop drooling…no wait maybe that’s my age!! lol!

The pics in Stockholm look much better probably because it’s sunny. Olga still looks incredible! :D

Yeah, get a bib, Tiger! (we need to keep the JJ website neat and tidy)

;)

olga is a beautiful girl; even more so than eva. then there’s satsuki. compared to these women, olga and eva, daniel’s girlfriend is plain jane ordinary. hate to say it but that’s how i see it.

I wouldn’t call Satsuki a plain jane at all. She has a very unique look which i think is quite striking. I think Satsuki would turn heads as she walked in a room, she’s the sort of girl you wouldn’t be able to stop looking at, in a good way if you know what i mean!! And she has a fantastic pair of legs on her too!!

no sorry, tigerlily, i saw her up close when they were here in oregon. satsuki has a good figure i’ll grant you. hate to disappoint you but she is ordinary looking. believe when i tell you, the only reason people were turning their heads in the resturant was to look at daniel craig. if she had come in alone no one would have given her a second glance. i heard people muttering ” i thought she’d be more beautiful than that” under their breath.

you saw Daniel, you lucky girl!

what was Satsuki wearing and what did they do?

To theresa in #54. How did Daniel and Satsuki act in the resturant?
What was their body language like? Did they act like they were in love is what we all want to know?

I’m amazed to think that the majority of people in the restaurant cared really.

I would bet that Daniel and Satsuki acted with a little restraint there as they don’t strike me as being very demonstrative in public.

To Theresa… I wouldn’t expect them to call attention to themselves by cuddling and kissing in a public place - but that’s just me…

have they ever been seen kissing in public at all?

of the hundreds of pictures out there, not one of them kissing.

amazing restraint that.

you know Kitty, maybe she has an enlarged thyroid or something or just high in testerone or it runs in the family? She has looked more feminine though a few years ago, her weigh loss doesn’t become her really.

I read though, on another topic, of a paparazzi film that followed Daniel into a restaurant when he was meeting Sienna and then camped outside her flat, which he was in for the night, but they never saw him leave.

Very interesting and a bit naive to think that he didnt bonk her.

no that was the b/w pic of them one the day he was presented to the world as bond.

it was taken in a friends house before the press conference

that link isnt opening

69/70… it takes a while to open because of all the pics on the thread - give it time - it opened for me after a few seconds.

:)

to 72

which means one thing..

sats not leaving his side for a moment…

thanks kitty! that’ll prevent other complaints

i think he’ll take a long long holiday after this….we may not see him for a bit

nothing planned for next year..what do you think he’ll do?

has it been halted due to his Bond promotion/injury or what? this film it taking along time and that does not bode well plus he has his defiance promotion too

award season early next year too so he’ll probably be up for something or another..

seems like daniel will be busy for awhile..how can he possibly rest?

i think the oscar talk is for his co star Liev Schrieber to be honest, that’s the talk around tinseltown, not Daniel.

I think it might be up for best film/cinematogrophy maybe (and Tuvia’s widow is on the Oscar nom panel), but QoS, not best actor but special effects, editing, cinematography I think.

He may get a Bafta nod again for both films i think

If he isnt nominated for either film at the oscar’s i doubt he’ll be there

to #80

i think he was superb in many of his earlier films and Infamous recently but i have to agree on the self-concious part..he seems to have stiffened up in front of the camera a bit…Bond has made too much of dent in him i think.

Flashbacks was more than disappointing, lets hope he isnt turning into a parody of himself…and he needs to watch that pout and focus on depth rather than anticipation of himself in a scene.

many actors suffer from the same thing though, b-list into a-list and they are out of their depth in many ways..he needs to stick to Indie films with maybe a supporting role in high budget ones to prevent overexposure..

to 81 and 82

I agree!

He needs to stay away from the muscleman roles and stripping off, THAT is not doing him any good.

I was told by someone in Hollywood, an agent, that Daniel Craig is not really considered a great talent and that taking Bond was really a “crazy” move for him. The irony, they told me, was that the more successful he becomes a Bond, the harder it is for him to obtain credibilty elsewhere.

He does need another non Bond role to propel him past Bond, and (apparently) he (Daniel) has placed tremendous hopes in Defiance and getting awards for it.

the man’s falling apart slowly, everyone can see that

The injury is a labral tear - a rip in the tissues around the shoulder joint. And yes there will be physiotherapy. Because of doctor’s orders, he’s been forced to take a long break from work. Well if he needs looking after me and Kitty are willing and very able!! lol! ;)

i see madonna announced officially they are divorcing and pity about Sam Taylor Wood and husband too..

marriage is only for poets and film makers..no one can be in love forever..can they?

i dont think Daniel will get married again

you right the talk here in LA is oscar nominations for liev schrieber for best supporting actor, ed zwick for best director - maybe, defiance for best picture-maybe. but unless daniel is absolutely brilliant dont even count on best actor nomination for him. dont forget; defiance will come out after QOS. many of those on the nominating/voting committee may not be able to get past the james bond image.
the problem for ed zwick is the spike lee factor.
although the film miracle at st anna has failed miserably there are those in hollywood who feel that spike is owed. a black director has never won best director and it’s past time. they may give him the oscar for his past work more so than miracle at st anna. i hear things and i listen to what people here are saying.

even if he is not nominated, i think that daniel craig will show up at the oscars if for no other reason than to honor the memory of tuvia bielski. many in the jewish community here would be very upset if he did not attend the oscars.

I hear “WAR” movies are not doing so well at this time. People want happy movies. I certainly hope Daniel does well in this movie. He deserves it.

Yes I did hear it from many people her in LA avout Liev, Daniel’s performance is less than a knockout according to people who have seen it.
What with atrocious Cruise movie coming out too, the war aspect is not the greatest seller at the moment especially at Christmas although the Bielski story is very uplifting but not a real shoo-in due to the “Zwick” factor. It could be his time though. Every dog and all that….

I think he will be at the Oscars maybe to support the film as well as the cast/story.
His lack of presence would be noticed.

#92 - you can go to rexfeatures.com and search daniel craig and the pics come up.

:)

#98 - I think Judi’s is excellent - actually had me fooled for a second. Daniel’s is good as well!

Eva Mendes..that spells trouble..lol………..Naomi Watts too but she with Liev

Sometimes I dont envy Satsuki

to 102:

Working in small budget/indie films was is bread and butter and not something he should think of as “been there and done that’…his talent resonates in these types of films. He supports the BFI and there are many talented directors out there and he should back up what he professes.
He needs to keep his eye on the ball and not to focus entirely on becoming a “major leading man”..does he have the scope and indeed the talent?

If he is being advised soley by Satsuki, then he needs to widen that curve.
He does have an agent, (and a great one at that!) so I think he runs scripts by Satsuki (indeed I have hears she scouts for him) rather than lean 100% on her experiences.

If he isn’t then he is a fool.

What do you mean “lean on Satsuki’s experience” What experience? As far as I know she does not have a talented bone in her body and from those photos she seems to have alot of bones.

Would he be foolish enough to jeopardize his career on the gf’s wacko advice. That seems very buttdumb Why is she an authority?

to 108

Thanks for the link and for sharing!

ooohhhh Eva Mendez and Daniel Craig..now that’s a hot couple!!!

I could see him fallling for her big time…

If Madame Tussauds did Daniel in his swimming suit, it would be too much for the fans and there would be some wax melting.

daniel’s lack of acting skills is why my agent friend thinks he should look for a supporting part in an eastwood, scorsese, or some other top director’s film. there he could learn from the best teachers in the business. some of the actors who’ve worked with these directors have gone on to win oscars-which is what daniel wants to do. mind you, in hindsight, it was a good idea he got out of blindness. that film hasn’t done well. he’ll have more exposure in defiance. and it is true that ed zwick is establishing himself as a major director.

as for the girl friend, maybe satsuki should step aside and let a professional agent do the work. gene hackman, on the great actors in the business, has always said the best advice he can give to to actors new to the business is to “find a good agent and work together to find good projects”,

Clearly he values her opinion and feels she is capable of choosing good scripts for him or he would not have her in that role. Many wives are involved in their husbands jobs. I think he is so besotted with her that his judgement is off and he may take her advice regardless of what he may think becasue he feels she has significant industry experience.

If anyone thinks that Satsuki is troubled whether she is liked or dislked in the industry (and I’m sure she has contact with many rude people herself, as there are many many of them in the business) and whether she is voted the most elegant, beautiful or ugliest woman in the world……..think again.

She has a job, well paid and does have a say and impact on his choices (as well as the personal side)…to be in that industry, any form of it, you must have tough skin.

To #124

How do you know she’ll make stupid choices?? As i said before no one knows what she is capable off or how talented and knowledgeable she is. I think it’s about time people gave Satsuki a chance and a break.

She is involved in many meetings of his and does “listen in” so I gather.

As for Daniel dumping Satsuki and finding someone who “further’s his interests” then I would disagree slightly. He isn’t Madonna..lol…he is not the casting couch type.

As for “dumping” Heike, I wouldn’t be that cavalier, I think they both agreed on that “unnattainable” situation in their relationship although it was a very sudden split.

there are people in the industry who more than know what exactly what satsuki is capable of. and the people that i have spoken to have made it clear, that so far, she HAS NOT DONE daniel any favors in the career department. nor do they expect her to do so. these people, one of whom is a casting agent who’s been in the business for 20 years, do not believe that she has either the capability or is up to the challenge. remeber some of the people have had dealings with her. just so we’re clear; satsuki did not help daniel get james bond. he got that all on his own.

On the Bond note: she did encourage him to go for the role (when he was approached) and then to accept it, as did many other people.

But of course, he and he alone clinched the deal.

Her “directing” abilities may not reflect her “scouting” abilities or “advice”.

I really don’t think Daniel would have her if she wasn’t up to the task although maybe their personal relationship might hamper him having a “clear” head regarding this?

Tricky situation when you work and “play” with the same person.

Well I don’t know, I don’t have tangible proof of that just professional third party hearsay.

I very much doubt she conducts herself like that.

Even though she is in a professional world doing a very high stressed “job”, there are many people who dislike the fact that she is considered a “runner in”, that is, many people work hard many many years to get a “job” like her but as she is his g/f, she has “walked into” the position somewhat.

Professional jealousy and hate to say it, personal jealousy too from some quarters. She does deal with many women who give her a hard time no doubt.

To #133 Trickly situation when you work and “play” with the same person. I agree. Daniel should stick to advice from his agent and just have her as a gf. She could be nagging him all day long about her point of view and have lots of arguments if he does not agree with her. Maybe that is why they don’t look happy at times. Stick to the advise from his paid agents and manager and let her “manage” herself.

At the end of the day, Daniel is aware of where he wants his career to go and Satsuki is helping him with that while getting experience that is highly sought after and taking pelasure in helping him realize his goals.

I’m sure she is doing it well as I don’t think for one minute he would have her conduct herself in any other fashion than being knowledgeable and professional.

Whether or not she is liked or disliked y other people/fans, I think she really doesn’t care.

To 141:

“Whether or not she is liked or disliked y other people/fans, I think she really doesn’t care.”

And why should she? She has him and as long as Daniel will come back to her, she will be by his side for a long time. She has it too good. ;)

BTW, I’ve seen some video of the Stockholm shoot (which looked really short) but I couldn’t find Sats at all around Daniel - well not within 5 feet of him anyways. It was mostly “minders”.

Yes, I can concur with the “rumour”. She was there but not near any photocall’s etc.
Now if this is anything to do with a new PR viewpoint/fans etc probably, and some of the dynamics are different from the CR time.

I believe they (the powers that be at Sony/EoN) are trying to keep her at a lower profile but of course, she will be there at the premieres.

All to do with his image and the maintaining of that I think.

It has been said time and time again, that the g/f-CR circuit relationship was overkill and they will not tolerate that again.

Yes, I did hear that.

The photocalls, press conferences and indeed the premiers should spotlight one thing and one thing only..the CAST and the FILM.

Keep the relationship factor at a minimum not a maximum like the CR circuit. That was extreme to say the least. PR and promotional c**k up.

I know a few people who said “Whose the star of this, Daniel or the gf?”.

——————————————————————————————-
Then that was Daniel’s fault per and simple on the CR circuit. I find it laughable now because he’s refuses to talk about their relationship to the press. He’s was the one talking her up then and during the filming of CR (IIRC at the time), she’s was everywhere with him, she’s starts wearing a ring on the left hand, etc.

But now this is the way it SHOULD be… Hopefully we’ll see some of Gemma on the promo tours. He has two beautiful co-stars in this film - he needs to show them off. :D

Well spotted, she did indeed wear that ring on the right hand on/off then it appeared after Xmas 2006 on the left.

:) I’m listening to an Internet oldies station and they just played “You Got What It Takes” by The Dave Clark Five (they covered the original). I wonder if Dan ever sings that to Sats???

#156…

She’s rarely mentioned now for the QOS interviews and if she is it’s as “his girlfriend”.

can someone be downgraded from fiancee to gf?

does he think we are that gullible?

unless she wasnt in the first place and he wants to recorrect that down play it as the press assumed?

the world is not going to stop on its axis if he did say fiancee..

does he think that? lol…..

he wanted to show his gf off to the world during CR then why stall at “fiancee?”…the press are going to assume anyway regardless.

come to think of it, i’ve never read in any interview that daniel has called satsuki his fiance either. you think may the press jumped the gun. about the ring on her left hand, i could be wrong but in england i always thought the engagement ring is worn on the right hand.

Interesting insight on the character by Marc:
‘It was very intense,’ he said of the situation. ‘It wasn’t so much that the release date was set and that I had very little time in post-production. The main thing was there was no script in place when we started [filming]. That was the key issue.’

‘There was not really a story that I felt 100% confident and good about. When there was the writers’ strike, I knew that by April, we would run out of story. In February, I brought in another writer, Josh Zetumer, to do a few polishes, rewrites and ideas between Danny, me and him.’

The eventual screenwriting credits ended up going to Haggis, Purvis and Wade for the film.

The next challenge for Forster was no simple task either: how to follow up one of the most financially and critically successful Bond films of all time?

‘So many people loved [Casino Royale]. To live up to that in Quantum Of Solace and to be up to par with that is another added pressure.’

In approaching this challenge, Forster focused on the character of Bond and worked with Craig to develop this in the final performance. ‘The character has this hard shell outside but still ultimately has this vulnerability,’ Forster says. ‘There is this isolation and this pain.’

‘But one of the successes of Bond is his mystery,’ the director is quick to add. ‘You don’t want to have Bond explain himself emotionally or analyse [himself] too much. So I created Camille [portrayed by Olga Kurylenko] as one of the Bond girls, who is a mirror image of him. She’s an assassin and has a revenge motive.’

Finally, Forster had to come to terms with was the incorporation of product placement in the James Bond films. He states: ‘It was at the beginning a little tricky, but what I said was I was not willing to shoot a shot that was featuring a product just for the purpose of featuring the product unless it happens to be part of the story. I feel this has been overdone in the past and it takes you out of the movie.’

After a grueling production schedule and endless hours of editing, it appears that he’s met his goal with Quantum of Solace: ‘I feel very positive because I love the movie. I feel the movie really works.’

Before concluding the interview, however, the topic of Bond 23 came up, despite his earlier statements that he’s not planning on returning. ‘No, it’s something Barbara and Michael asked me about but I’m not really interested … but never say never!’

Remember tomorrow night DC will be on the Tonight Show here in the States. I’m sure NBC’s website will probably have a complete video of the show after it airs, and it will no doubt be on youtube as well in a few days.

IIRC the show is taped earlier in the day - maybe about 4pm PT - that’s 7pm ET - so maybe JJ or another site might have some photos of DC arriving for the show?

Please? :D

oh well…cant believe he said that in an interview considering he’s so guarded…

like her company? i love my dog’s company too…

she sounds more like a loved companion rather than wife material to him.

…….unless she gets preggers……

how is he covering his ****, you think its a red herring to put them off?

II doubt he ever said that really..he is so adamant about not talking about his relationship.

personally i dont think they are even engaged but if he so staunch against saying they arent engaged why say anything about marriage at all?

conflicting statement if you think about it.

http://simplysatsi.livejournal.com/

have you seen this?

(if i think he was totally in love whatever, he would have said it somewhere and it would have gotten out that he was engaged..like a marriage)

too many people are in ahurry to marry these two off….I dont think he’s in a hurry.

To 179… that website is pretty interesting - but “she” needs to update it! ; I guess travelling around she doesn’t have the time!

paramount delay release of Defiance until Dec 31st then not for wide release until Jan

To Tiger…

Can’t ask for more than that…can you??

——————————————————————————————-

Yeah, MARRIAGE, but maybe that asking TOO MUCH - and maybe Sats has and it’s been put on hold… :(

——————————————————————————————-

I went to bed last night and thought about the last answer in the interview… and how vague it was - still a lot of info but still very guarded:

“Yes, our relationship has been going on for a long time. I like her company very much. She is very talented and intelligent. She helps me at various stages of my films. We both tune well. Though one never knows, I don’t think marriage will happen soon.”

Daniel mentions “relationship” then lists all the reasons why it works and why it has lasted - but obviously missing is the word “love”. IMHO, it’s there but his answer wasn’t going to give it away - because he wants to keep it private.

Also, IMHO, this “relationship” with Sats has totally consumed the fans and the press (well DUH!). He is now realizing that we are hungry for every detail.

Unfortunately, Dan, there is no turning back :( ….either marry her (either done or will be soon) to put the matter to rest and she can be with you 24/7, AND NO ONE will care (well at least I don’t), or put her in the background (which is what is sort of happening with the QOS promo tours). Notice, the two pics that lainey had on the her website do not show her (but she is probably around).

Just my 2 cents…

:D

http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=6866&t=mi6&s=news

Daniel confirms he has signed on for 4 movies but I think he has contractual freedom if one doesn’t turn out ok. Three, option for the fourth.

Also, talking about love and such, he may not have used the word love in the same sentence as “Satsuki” but does he have to? I still cant think as to why he said that to a newspaper, about marriage, doesnt compute with his “privacy” thing.

He did talk about Heike openly a few times in interviews but he’s at a different spot now and realizes that the press are hungry for every morsel on him and Satsuki and feeds them with the odd nugget. Maybe they have rethought their formula on their “public” relationship..maybe it was her idea to be less visible apart from red carpets?

As for the backlash well, I would say it was obvious as to why some people won’t like her.

To 190: IMHO, FOAF was not Sats’ doing, though she might had said “sure, why not?”… DC involvement in the movie was a personal favor to a friend - not really a career move at all.

Now, on the other hand, if starts to get good reviews then it was a career move… ;)

I wouldnt think so but he may mention it on The Tonight Show as a plug.

Its on limited release.

I dont think they would spend the money on another red carpet for that.

hopefully see pics of him arriving at the studios..i wouldnt plug foaf if i were him anyway..stay clear of it

so nothing is different then from the CR time..didnt expect so..i think we will see he and satsuki just as close on the red carpet

Canadian interview

KittyDuran @ 10/17/2008 at 6:03 am

Yes, our relationship has been going on for a long time. I like her company very much. She is very talented and intelligent. She helps me at various stages of my films. We both tune well. Though one never knows, I don’t think marriage will happen soon.”
____________________________________________________

i read this in the interview as well. i wonder if the reason daniel said this is not only to send a message to the press but also to send a message to satsuki. i say this, because i rememer that when brad pitt and jennifer were married brad did the exact same thing. brad used the press to tell jennifer that he wanted to have a child right away. but jennifer used the press to say the opposite; a child later on.
anyone reading what they were saying could tell that marriage was in trouble.

satsuki could be pushing for marriage and this may be daniel’s way of telling her that he’s not ready yet. he likes things the way they are. if i’m right the ball is now in satsuki’s court.

shotgun probably..it’ll turn out like that…(again)

I think it was quite simply to have the press back off about the marriage questions as it was probably getting to them, especially her. Can you imagine reading stories that you will marry soon in the press but know it isn’t happening?
Had to be awkward for them maybe concerning their family and friends too.
I think it was probably a planned constructed answer to tell everyone to back off not to “warn” Satsuki.

Strange he used the word “like” instead of “love”. It couldn’t have hurt him too much to use it. There are always reasons why people use certain words, always. Nothing is ever superficial.

he’s used the word love in relation to her before, i just think he is being very careful what he says as he knows people are mentioning marriage at every turn
as i think like a few other people here, i think he is trying to draw the attention away now

erm…because satsuki has been wearing an engagement ring on the red carpet therefore fueling the media to write about marriage rumours
if she did not want the attention it was very dumb of her to wear the ring to a public event

Who say’s it’s an engagement ring?? My sister wears a ring on her ring finger on her left hand, a present from her boyfriend but she’s not engaged. It’s a sign of love thats all. Has anyone confirmed or said that Daniel and Satsuki are engaged??? No.. everyone just jumped to conclusions.

diamond ring…..engagement…..marriage
these are obvious conclusions
if they did not want media/public speculation around their relationship satsuki should not have delibrately worn the ring to the golden compass red carpet

Satsuki did not delibrately wear the ring to cause public and media speculation. She wore it because it was a gift of love from the man she loves. You’re making out that these two are calculating, shallow and fame hungry. Desperate for attention. And i don’t believe that’s the case at all.

IMHO, Daniel (not so much Sats) miscalculated the impact of being the new James Bond would have on his private life. Whereas before being a supporting b-list actor might have landed a few interviews and a couple walks down the red carpet - not too many in the press where paying attention - he wasn’t the star(s). For such a private man this was a piece of cake and it paid the bills.

But even if CR was a flop the media would still be abuzz over the change in the Bond films. But as fate would have it - CR was not only a major reboot of the franchise but a blockbuster hit. Now everything, even the most minor aspect of his life is probed. In the most recent interviews he’s pretty candid about the filming, being an actor, doing interviews, etc. But when approached (if he is approached) about his private life, the guard goes up - the answers being wooden to signal to move on and ask another question. So the answer in the Indian paper was revealing but not revealing - or as someone else said conflicting. It’s, IMHO, to get the media off his and Sats private life by throwing a little tidbit their way that can be interpreted anyway. (just like we’re doing now on this thread)…

DANIEL CRAIG (2006-)

There was a storm of protest from diehard Bond fans towards Daniel Craig taking over the role. Websites like http://www.danielcraigisnotbond.com mobilised protest, calling on fans to boycott the film.

It wasn’t just his ugliness fans objected to and his lack of height – at 6ft he is the shortest ever Bond – but that he was, outrageously, blond.

But all was forgiven when Casino Royale, an updated version of Fleming’s first 1953 Bond novel, premiered in 2006. Here was perhaps the most complex Bond yet – cruel and macho, but also flawed and vulnerable.

Critics hailed a return to form for the series, seeing a raw sexuality beyond the 37-year old Craig’s rough looks. His performance took centre stage, with the gimmicks and gadgets of previous eras pushed to the sidelines.

The Times’ Wendy Ide wrote: “Craig’s face is endlessly fascinating. It’s brutishly ugly — he looks like he’d stab you in the eye if you crossed him, and would probably enjoy doing it. But his sex appeal is off the scale. He even makes his first assassination (shown in grainy black and white) an unsettlingly erotic experience. His Bond bleeds, bruises, makes fatal mistakes.”

Casino Royale, the 21st film in the series, was also a hit with audiences, taking more than £13 million at the box office in its opening weekend, 40 per cent better than its predecessor Die Another Day .

In the yet to be released Quantum of Solace, Craig will build on this success, further exploring Bond’s psychological complexity.

A leaked memo from Eon Productions, owner of the Bond franchise explained why they had chosen Craig over the competition: “Eric Bana was deemed not handsome enough. Hugh Jackman was too fey, Colin Farrell too sleazy and Ewan McGregor too short.”

Craig’s on-screen image has been complemented by real-life romances. Gossip has included the suggestions that he was involved with Sienna Miller while she was still with his friend Jude Law.

another review

all of the reviews are the same really…Craig acts well maybe deserving of awards but just a degree less exciting than CR

To #216
Because those who are fame hungry and desperate for attention usually go to all the celeb hangouts where they know the paparazzi will be. Attend all the parties, premieres and openings to get their faces in magazines. Talk openly and go into detail about their private lives to draw attention to themselves. And thet usually have their faces splashed

I can be so bloody blonde sometimes!! lol! ;)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1078708/I-bought-bottle-vodka-got-smashed–Daniel-Craig-reveals-celebrated-new-James-Bond.html

you could see his adrenaline was pumping on that show…

http://www.express.co.uk/features/view/66735/Fleming-didn-t-want-me-to-be-Bond-Connery

Daniel says that he still gets sexy notes sent to him.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/you/article-1077844/Actress-Eva-Green-The-art-darkness.html

Eva is so stunning..she talks about how Daniel “protected” her..is this the closeness people read into too?

Nevertheless, she is drop dead gorgeous..what a great couple they would make..

btw, she has lived in Primrose Hill for the last THREE years.

He has made a comment to the media that he might not be back for a third Bond..”we’ll see how it goes”…I think he’s pissed over QoS and feels it won’t be a popular as CR..maybe covering his backside but I think it’s a warning to EoN that he can and will walk away when HE sees fit. He may signed for three, option for four but I really don’t forsee it myself.

I think Daniel is no-one’s puppet, especially Barbara’s…

To 237…

IMHO Dan’s just covering his backside… just in case QOS flops. I don’t really see that happening, but I don’t see it eclipsing CR in terms of profits or ratings, either.

It seems that Daniel likes to send mixed messages. An engagment ring that is not really an engagement ring perhaps or making it seem that he won’t return for another bond, buying a house without Satsuki knowing. All this is just speculation it could be the flipside who knows.

The ring could be genuine and really and engament ring they just want something for themselves and not have to share it with the world.
His Bond contracts could be tight as ever and he has not choice to but to do a third.
The house in Regents Park could have been a suprise for Satsuki thats why he never told her.

You never know its all speculation,

Talking about contradictions…I think he’s a private man but has a part of him that craves adoration of some kind or another. Usually these types of people are, in fact, very insecure and lonely.

BTW, this house in R Park, why is everyone assuming that Satsuki didn’t know about it? I highly doubt she doesn’t have a say in every aspect of where they live. I think the press might have meant surprised her with the renovations and their progress. I’m sure she even has a lot of imput into those too.

i see satsuki as someone who was searching for an easy life without having to work particularly hard, with dan she got lucky.

i see dan as someone who is searching for both security/independance within one relationship.

i don’t think he has found it yet, with satsuki it feels like he is staying with her until he finds someone “better”

here is my rambling explanation:

someone said that satsuki was working in the film industry in order to ‘hook’ an actor, since she has not produced any of her own work since 2005, it seems reasonable that she is riding on daniels fame/talent.

daniel has revealed himself in interviews, he wants both security/independance in relationships, he wants a gf at home and wants to be able to out on the town with the lads.
he craves the idea of marriage but he has already repeated the mistakes of his parents and divorced.
i think he will either repeat the same mistake, another shootgun marriage, or never marry.
he has chased relationships with women who are unlikely to settle down, kate moss, sienna miller
he has ended a relationship that was heading into a direction he did not want to go with heike - so no more children or marriage.
(heike is married now with a daughter. i wonder what dan feels about that?)

sats and dan. i think they both like and fancy each other. she meets his needs provides security, looks after him, travels with him everywhere, allows him to pursue all his own interests. they enjoy each others company.
but some of the vibes between satsuki and dan feel wrong, its difficult to describe but it feels as if they are not quite there as a couple, something is just off. there is none of the physical laughing, joking, flirting, kissing having fun stuff you usually see with couples. maybe the emotional intimacy died in their relationship and they are still together just out of habit?

what do you think?

I wasn’t aware that heike was not married. Dan must still have been gutted when her child was born, he must of felt that he had been replaced in her affections. She had just wiped the slate clean with him and had started another life.

Sats was in the right place at the right time, when he was lonely after his fling with kate moss and did not want to be on his own. You are right their relationship will not last. It seems as if the two have already reached an emotional deadend. I think it is simply habit/laziness/fear of dating again that is keeping them together. Dan is also scared of dealing with fame on his own, in an old interview he said that he was grateful to have a gf. I guess he sees relationships as a cocoon to protect himself.

i think dan is an insecure, lonely indvidual who constantly craves affirmation and wants to be liked.

satsuki plays games with him? what type of games?

Daniel Craig’s fan dismissal:

Here’s the article to prevent misquoting but again, it is from a very unreputable source so I wouldn’t think it is verbatim.

Sunday, 19 October 2008

Daniel Craig says female fans “don’t have much relevance” to his life.

The actor - who reprises his role as James Bond in new movie ‘Quantum of Solace’ - enjoys the attention he receives from admirers but doesn’t take it seriously.

He said: “I’m very touched by the attention I get from women. I have to have a sense of humour about it though, because on the one hand it’s very nice and on the other hand it doesn’t have much relevance to my life because I live with my girlfriend, Satsuki Mitchell.”

Daniel also said the sex scene he shot with co-star Gemma Arterton, who plays Agent Fields in the movie, wasn’t difficult because it is part of his job.

He added to Britain’s Hello magazine: “I’m an actor and I have been an exhibitionist since as long as I can remember, so that makes it a bit easier. If I stopped to think about it, it would probably be very embarrassing. But it’s what I do.”

The reviews are mixed on QoS but more good than bad…
Bond is back with the balls the size of an elephant..

:)

From Radio 1’s James King.

Quote:
First things first - if you’re gonna check out Quantum Of Solace when it releases on 31st October, you could do worse than spinning through 007’s previous outing, Casino Royale, beforehand. QOS takes no prisoners when it comes to carrying on the story of Vesper Lynd, Mr White and Le Chiffre, the action kicking off just an hour after the last pic ended.

That made me love it all the more. This Bond flick is a lean, mean fighting machine. Crap dad gags are kept to a minimum in favour of ruthless, brutal action, globetrotting from London to Haiti, from Switzerland to Bolivia whilst a poutier-than-ever Daniel Craig relentlessly tries to track down the mysterious bad guys that killed the woman he loved.

Audacious highlights include a high tension action scene with an operatic backdrop, Bond’s masterful seduction of posh civil servant Fields (Gemma Arterton) and, of course, the drama packed opening titles, Jack and Alicia’s “Another Way To Die” ripping up the speakers when played at cinema level volume.

Mathieu Amalric is suitably slimy as yet another megalomaniac bad guy - although the panto days of cat-stroking baldies are long gone - whilst the sultry Olga Kurylenko smartly matches Bond when it comes to being a rogue player out for revenge. They sizzle, making the male/female duet of the theme tune even more relevant.

At 106 minutes this is streamlined, super slick action - yes, even more Bourne-like than ever but with a panache that manages to both hark back to 007’s 60s heritage at the same time as being slap bang on target with its onslaught of bling gadgets. A slam dunk then, Bond squaring up to his cinematic rivals with balls the size of an elephant and making a case for the the super spy’s best movie ever.

By emotional deadend i mean that this relationship should have ended a long time ago. They do not look like a couple who are in love and happy with each other for the rest of their lives. Don’t you get the feeling that their love/lust relationship has slowly unravelled and come to the end of its natural life but they are still trying to continue a friends/business/companions type of relationship.

Like an arranged marriage where there is no deep intimate love or lust but the couple have decided to make a go of it as they are good friends.

a good metaphor would be two desperate shipwrecked individuals clinging on to each other for the following reasons: safety/security/loneliness/needing physical intimacy and warmth/isolation/fear of the unknown, outside world/money

I think their relationship is mainly companionship, friends and business partners.

I think with the ‘my fans have no relevance on my life’ comment he is just stating the facts: he lives with his gf and he is aware that he is a mirror for people’s fantasies which he is not interested in living out.

So by games you mean that she lets him go out and sleep with other women? Maybe they do have that arrangement. He seems the type who is sexually curious and experimental. I think he did the threesome in FoaF from personal experience. He seems too comfortable in that scene and he did date Kate lets have an orgy Moss. lol

I agree, I think the only really convincing thing in FOAF was the orgy.

After all it isn’t call “Promiscuous Hill” for nothing!!!!

to 255 rather

Interesting that you think she will leave him after all it was heike who ended his last longterm relationship. He was dumped by kate moss for being too clingy, making too many plans and expecting too much when they had only been together 3 months.

I’ve read an old interview where he says he doesn’t like the fuss at the beg. of a relationship i.e. dating, hotel rooms, flowers. He prefers it when the dating has got to a comfortable stage and he can take his gf grocery shopping.

He sounds insecure in his dating abilities, social interactions with women and can’t wait to settle down into the comfort stage (eating junk food in bed together.)
It sounds like he latches(a breastfeeding term) onto women for a long as he can before they get sick and tired of him clinging on and dump him.

You maybe right with the flirting thing - he has far too much chemistry with Nicole Kidman and Eva Green for there to be nothing going on. He may have clicked with Eva on a physical/intellectual level and on an emotional/physical level with Nicole.

Watch the red carpet arrivals golden compass london vid.
when nicole kidman arrives dan looks like an excited, embarrassed, giggly schoolboy waiting for his fav. teacher - he can’t stop looking at her and admiring her, its clear he fancies her.
Watch satsuki’s facial impressions she has to keep on smiling, what else can she do? The best part is when he does a double take at nicole walking past - whilst he is still holding satsuki’s hand.

Is that the time the gf wore no bra undereath that grey dress? saggy t*ts…i’m not surprised he looked the other way and i remember that photo session he did with Nicole, the pics of them in bed together?

i dont think it was physical even with eva…although funny she moved to around the corner from him (not literally) in P Hill three years ago..of all places..

http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/craig%20picking%20bond%20girls%20is%20weird_1083961

imagine having the power to make someone a star? maybe he gets involved with them because of that?

although i did hear he got close to Olga too but i dont believe that as much as eva

To Clara
Having read your comments and views on Daniel and Satsuki’s relationship, i’m interested to know if they are just based on photo’s, interviews, body language or personal information??
I don’t think anyone really knows what goes on in people’s relationships behind closed doors. You could be right then again you could be totally wrong, who knows?? And to be honest i don’t think we will ever get to find out!!

wouldnt be surprised to see them on a beach somewhere before next week’s premieres

Clara sez….

i see satsuki as someone who was searching for an easy life without having to work particularly hard, with dan she got lucky.

i see dan as someone who is searching for both security/independance within one relationship.

———————————————————————————————–

So shouldn’t we be happy that they found one another???

;)

My favorite thing DC ever said was that his fugface gf is a Bond girl. PLEASE She has a 0.0 chance of that

I don’t think Dan ever said “Bond” girl, the press mentioned it at his first press conference and at various stages throughout..sometimes at a couple of premieres.

Oops spelt daughter wrong..d’oh!!

And here is the article… can’t bring up the pic tho…

http://www.hellomagazine.com/film/2007/07/02/daniel-craig-satsuki/

———————————————————————————————-
Daniel shows close bond to girlfriend Satsuki at celeb baptismSEND TO A FRIEND2 JULY 2007

Their hands firmly clasped together, Daniel Craig and his producer girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell were the epitome of romance as they arrived at the christening of Jessie, the daughter of artist Sam Taylor Wood and art dealer Jay Jopling on Saturday. And there was no mistaking Satsuki’s feelings for her man as she gazed tenderly at the actor, every inch an undercover agent in dark shades and newly grown beard.

The couple were joined at the House of Commons crypt by fellow celebrity guests Little Britain star David Walliams, Janet Street-Porter and Sir Elton John. Daniel, 39, who has a daughter from his marriage to Fiona Loudon, was first seen out in public with Satsuki last year during the publicity rounds for his first outing as James Bond in Casino Royale. When asked who’d be his perfect Bond girl, he simply pointed to Satsuki at his side and said “This one here.”

While love blossoms off screen, his on-screen leading lady of the moment is Nicole Kidman. The Aussie actress stars alongside the 007 actor in two upcoming releases, alien flick The Invasion and fantasy thriller His Dark Materials: Northern Lights.

There was a time, however, when Daniel wasn’t featuring alongside A-list talents and being feted by Hollywood. Then he earned his keep through rather more humble means at a Reading supermarket. “I was Mr Marmite. That’s how I got my equity card,” he recently revealed of his stint advertising the yeast-based spread. And, according to the award-winning actor, he still has it on his toast in the mornings - a reminder of life before he got his “OO” status.

Q: These days, women are falling over themselves to meet Daniel Craig. How do you find the attention?
“I’m very touched by it. I have to have a sense of humour about it, because on the one hand it’s very nice and on the other hand it doesn’t have much relevance to my life, because I live with somebody.”
Q: You’ve pumped up your physique for the Bond role. Do you enjoy showing off?
“I don’t feel particularly comfortable with it. Obviously, it’s nice to get fit and be in good shape, but it’s a by-product.
Q: It must make you very proud to have so many people say you’re the best Bond since Sean Connery…
“Obviously, I am very proud of that and it is very nice of them to say that. But not everybody thinks that. Believe me, I know that.
Q: What has been your most memorable encounter with fans since you became Bond?
“Getting out of the car at the premiere of Casino Royale in London is something I’m never going to forget - I’m not sure how many thousands of fans were standing there in Leicester Square.”

[From Hello! Magazine, print edition, October 21, 2008]

DC in Men’s Vogue commenting on his private life. Note the last sentence with “current RUMORS of an engagement to Satsuki Mitchell, an American film producer. What??? it’s just rumors??? What about the ring??? ;)

http://www.mensvogue.com/arts/movies/articles/2008/11/daniel-craig?currentPage=3
———————————————————————————————
Actually, Craig did say that to me, in so many words. I’d asked him what it was like to raise a teenager — his sixteen-year-old daughter, Ella, from a brief marriage to the Scottish actress Fiona Loudon in the early nineties — and he leaned back, set his eyes in a typical Double-Oh I’ll-never-break-under-torture look, and after the slightest but most pointed of pauses, said: “It’s exactly as you can imagine. It’s fabulous having a teenage daughter, but she’ll grow up, and she needs to be protected. It’s as simple as that.” The delivery was dry and diplomatic, and just like that the entire subject of his private life — earlier flings with Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, current rumors of an engagement to Satsuki Mitchell, an American film producer — closed forever.

It looks as though getting Defiance to open on 12/31 (limited release) barely gets the movie (and the actors) in for an oscar nomination. What will hurt Daniel will probably be other actors getting nominations with Robert Downey Jr. (”Soloist”) and Jamie Foxx (”Soloist”) out of the running.

http://www.hollywood.com/news/James_Bond_23_Daniel_Craig_Trilogy/5331867

Dan talks about Bond 23 but maybe not a fourth film

you’re right, the december 31st opening date could hurt danie’s chances for an oscar nomination. but you have to remember the subject matter. this is a true story; it actually happened. also be aware that the lives of 5 members of the voting committee-the people who decided who gets the oscars - were saved by tuvia bielski and his brothers. they have a lot of friends who also vote; i think you get the idea. these people may want to honor tuvia by giving daniel the nomination and possibly even the oscar.

http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/music/features/Worst+James+Bond+Themes-6164.html

i would have to agree with the list

To Clara, don’t know if Satsuki persauded him to take on Defiance but I think Daniel makes up his own mind about his films. No one has seen Defiance yet and he may be deserving of a Oscar nomination because of his great acting not because 5 members of the voting committee knew Tuvia in real life. I think it is a shame they pushed back Defiance (because I can’t wait to see it) and I wish him success with both his movies.

to 292
daniel turned down blindness because the script was terrible. my friend’s father in LA, a casting agent for over 20 years , says that in his opinion blindess is one the worst scripts ever written. it has nothing do to with the film being an “art house”. daniel saw the writing on the wall and got out. want evidence? see how badly blindness has done.
to 290
of course, the oscars should be given out on merit to the actors who deserve the award. but guess what, often times they are not. you would not belive all the politics that take place in LA when it comes time to nominate films etc. it would astound you. for example; there are a large group of people trying to convince the voting committee to nominate spike lee for miracle at st anna.
the film was not well received by the critics. but these people say spike’s nomination and win are over due. he is owed by the academy; that’s all there is to it whether or not he actually deserves the award for this film or not. don’t forget that the tuvia and his brothers saved over 1,000 jews from the nazis. there are a lot of people with jewish backgrounds on the voting committee. that’s just the way it is.

he’s wrong paul verhoeven’s showgirls is the worst script ever written

Well, I checked my local theater and Defiance will open 1/16/09 and The Soloist will open 3/13/09.

:(

Tomorrow Never Dies comes close as does The Invasion

it seems then as if Daniel is chasing an oscar then..after all he apparently is desperate for one..i guess he knows how to play the game also

BTW… if you do purchased the perfume - a little goes a long way! I just squirted a little on my wrist this morning and it’s still pretty strong. No bad comments yet, either! :)

Actually Tiger, it’s you, Hello Magazine, and Lainey (Lainey Gossip) cheering! - tho’ Lainey is not completely on Sats’ side - finds her striking in person but not photogenic (IIRC) on the website.

i think she is beautiful..i havent seen her but a friend of mine saw her at the Ian Fleming gala..she looked gorgeous but didnt smile a lot really

my friend says she is very very slim and would make you look twice

she is a very lucky girl i think though

Yeahhhhhh!! At last people who agree with me!! Where have you people been hiding??? :)
I just really wish i could understand why so many dislike her, i really don’t understand what she did so wrong.( Well except bag herself the very gorgeous and very sexy Mr. Craig.)
I think Satsuki is beautiful, if you really look at her in photo’s ( i agree that she’s not always photogenic) she definitely has her own unique look which is both alluring and striking, you just can’t seem to stop staring at her. There’s no wonder Daniel’s always clinging to her hand!!

Dan talks about the filming and going to Itlay with Sats after filming..also saying he would kill for his family.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2008-10/22/content_7129887.htm

I see the marriage questions are still being asked.

http://screenrant.com/daniel-craig-turns-thor-rob-4024/

The marriage statement somewhat contradicts what he said earlier about marriage…so I would think the only thing that is clarified is that he isnt married at the moment which is what I thought all along..if they were then a marriage license would have been obtained..you cant keep a thing like that quiet..
he didnt say marriage was even it was on the cards even in china daily article..so..has he even proposed?

http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2008/10/bond_extra_raw_bond.php

here’s the interview..

contradicting himself again..talking about why he should keep a marriage private like in Beatlemania in case it upsets fans..but then he is cagey about saying whether he is engaged??? and of course the media has jumped to the most obvious conclusion that he is going to propose to Satsuki

look at his body language though, looked away to the left when talking about it..

looks great in black though :)

This is a prime example of the media getting things wrong which makes me not believe anything unless he says it himself.

The press (dumbf*cks) that they are, thought he proposed last year in Siena as they just woke up and noticed the ring..now they are assuming he’s about to propose (again) because of this statement.

So thinking about it, maybe the “marriage not happening anytime soon” thing might have actually been said to stop these questions..????

I agree though, he’s not giving anything away at this point but if he was married now, what he just said would come back to haunt him a bit.

The only thing we can obtain from this ET segment is that he would keep a marriage quiet but not deliberately so because of the fans.

believe me the media are on marriage watch with him so as soon as it happens, the whole world will know..the man can’t break wind without them knowing

marrying her with the Bond glare on him right now would be unwise, if anything then maybe next year after it all dies down

personally i think we will have a long wait before he gets married

To #323… I agree with you 100% about the press being real pains… but they’re in this to get a story and when you give them any (ANY!) reason for a story you’ll have to take this crap from them. That’s their bread and butter.

To # 328

Alot of people on here mention both Satsuki’s and Daniel’s body language and say it’s a bit strange or off. I myself don’t have a clue about body language.
And as these people don’t explain themselves, i find it all a bit confusing. Maybe you can help me??
So What is it your friend thinks is not quite right and how did she come to that conclusion??

I can say this, the real reason Satsuki turned up instead of his Mom at the Fleming Gala night was that his PR was inundated with calls seeing this as a “break up” even though they premptied it with a statement release.

The people as Sony/EoN did not want any unnecessary attention on his relationship during the junket time (remember that the Fleming thing was the last public event they would be seen at until the Royal Premiere and after junket) so he was “advised” to bring her instead of his Mom.

The point is, he very well knows even by saying the littliest thing about his private life will cause a stir so yes, why not just blankly say “no comment?”…and also their (Daniel and Satsuki) lives are somewhat ruled by his PR dept.

Not too sure whether to feel sad for them…

As for body language, you can tell it’s changed since CR time..whether THAT has been commented on by his PR people, who knows (to tone it down) as it might affect his Bond image..but then again, he just commented on it not affecting it in the ET interview.

It’s certainly confusing.

Strange that he hasn’t given her a pucker or two on the carpet..maybe he might let his guard down during the QoS time?

..or is it indifference…can’t quite tell as he looks that way the majority of the time

http://www.newkerala.com/mn/a-1565.htm

China Daily have a lot to answer for on their assumption..it’s all over the place.

the man needs to keep his silence over things like this to prevent extra attention although I think he didn’t think it would be blown out of proportion again

you would think by now, the discretion he shows over his daughter should be one he uses towards his relationship

he’s a professional interviewee by now and should think before he talks

i think you can read a lot by his eyes, that’s why he looks away..doesnt want to give any more of his feelings out than necessary

I clicked on the tammy faye baker link without thinking….big mistake.
ghoulish, terrifying
its close to halloween and this woman’s face could send the four horseman of the apocalypse screaming back to their mothers apron strings.

I think its odd that there are no paparazzi pics of dan and sats kissing (unaware of camera)
it seems so natural for couples to kiss - without thinking and not caring that they are in a public place.

think you might be overreacting a bit there..I dont think she is hiding anything, she’s probably shy and fed up at the cameras. I mean Daniel does the same thing..look at the ET interview or have your friend look at it and tell us why he looks away when he talks about marriage
__________________________________________________

sorry, asked my friend and one of his professors same question. any person who turns away during police questioning, the way that daniel did in the et interview, is AUTOMATICALLY SUSPECT . it’s a drop dead give away the either the person being questioned is lying or has something to hide. that is one of the ways the police use to determine if the suspect is guilty of something.
if daniel did not have anything to hide he would have looked directly at the person asking the question and answered flat out. you’ve got to understand this professor used to work for the FBI as a criminal profiler. he can tell when someone is lying or hiding something just by his/her body language.

Thanks for answering my question #336.

sorry, if you love someone then you wouldnt care..i have only seen dan kissing sats hand twice in pictures

he looked away in the Et interview then he is lying i guess or not omitting that maybe he is already married or he doesnt agree that it wouldnt matter if he does get married being Bond

I think thats a pic of Daniel in the wind tunnel

my friend and his professor both agree that the dynamic of the relationship has changed. my friends thinks that after the whirlwind of the QOS premieres in various place something dramatic will happen. either satsuki and daniel will get married or they will part ways. he thinks something has happened in the relationship.

his prof thinks the same but adds that daniel, in his opinion. has sent more than subtle hints of his reluctance and/or lack of desire to get married. the problem with body language is that many people have difficulty reading it. that’s why the universities and police agencies spend a lot time instructing their students/police officers on how to do it.

I think they’ll get married after all, it seems like they are planning a future together after buying another house and showing her around…why take her on QoS then if they are not good?

Your views are very interesting though..what else can you and your friend deduce?

Why does your friend state that something has changed?

I do agree with the other couples though, they are all over each other in public…even Daniel was with Heike..

You’re only going by the premiere pics..maybe you should show the pics of both of them on holiday in Italy recently to your friend and professor? They were both laughing and holding hands then.

If you’re going to make judgment calls then take in the whole picture not just the red carpet ones and use those as a visual synecdoche for their whole personal dynamic.

To 357… how recent was the holiday in Italy - and where are the pics? Thanks!!!

:D

if he is so good and he thinks their dynamic has changed, cant he tell whether its going to end or what?

If he told that Brad and Jennifer’s was over ahead of time..then what is his educated guess?

Photos and actions are two different things..why show her a house in Regents park,,you think for one minute that those are actions of a person who isnt in love?

I bet that by this time next year, he’ll be married with a kid on the way or not married with a kid on the way..one or the other.

in my honest opinion…IMHO

btw, what would you do if you saw this man on the beach?

Er, no, even if I HAD b*lls!!! ;)

To #360 this is very interesting. Can’t wait to hear more after his students give their input.

To 373: I cant’ wait either for the results..I think they would get a kick of they knew they were being studied.

To 374: I did mean Sats.

Jack White wont play the MTV European Awards next month in Liverpool.

Daniel is slated to appear apparently.

http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2008/08/herve-hotties.html

Looks like Satsuki know’s more about fashion than some of you give her credit for, she was on the ball with this dress!!

Satsuki Mitchell dress is available from Net-A-Porter for $1,250.

I bet his credit card got a work out that day at Saks.

You need breasts for Herve Leger..as it is a bandage dress, they have at tendency to flatten you out as it is..that dress does not flatter her at all. She needs to re-assess what looks good on her instead of popping on something because it’s a famous label etc.

THAT is where a good stylist comes in, not just going into a shop and buying a dress a couple of hours before a premiere (if that is what she did). She does not wear that dress with any style of confidence.

THAT is style!

I’ll bet Daniel was just sitting there drinking his Big Gulp while this was going on.

Yes, I agree..they had curves..Heike was and still is one of the most gorgeous creatures alive.

Beautiful skin too… and such a happy radiant aura about her.
