[Christopher Anderson]

Official and confirmed directly by the man himself, Daniel Craig will return as James Bond in the film franchise's 25th film due out sometime in 2019. Great news, I knew there were reports he had agreed to comeback, but never confirmed by Craig until last night on the Late Show.

Excellent! He's the best Bond ever, better than Connery even.

Rumors that Christopher Nolan may direct the next one as well.

Do you think he can keep his cameras still?

I was just thinking about that (and how much you like the shaky fight cam). His most recent work seems to move away from it, but than again, there are no hand to hand scenes. I'm just worried it will be 160 minutes long with 10 minutes of dialogue that is muffled by a Hans Zimmer score.

Shaky cam or no... Nolan directing means I can get my wife on board... this is a good thing.

[David Mitchell]

Excellent! He's the best Bond ever, better than Connery even.

Is he? Or are they just better movies with better scripts?

The camera shaking couldn't possibly be worse than in Quantum of Solace. Which I pretend doesn't exist.

One the plus side, if the Daniel Craig bond movies continue alternating between great and mediocre, this next one should be pretty good.

In that vein, who did you like better in the two True Grits? Bridges or Wayne? I sadly had to concede Bridges. If nothing else, on the strength of his court testimony scene, "Shot? Or killt!?"

I'm deeply conflicted over Connery and Craig. I'd give the edge to Connery for his fight scene on the Orient Express with Shaw in From Russia With Love along with all the Eastern ooga-booga he did in You Only Live Twice. But then I'm more than a little biased for obvious reasons.

Craig is certainly a better actor. His portrayal of Paul Newman's psycho son Connor in Road to Perdition (another excellent movie) was incredible.

I like him in the role better.
