Will Skyfall (2012) Let Us Down in the Visual Pleasure Department?

Skyfall (2012) promises to be packed with action...and not much else.

 Skyfall (2012) is well on it's way to being released and the big question on everyone's mind is just how much pussy is Blonde Bond going to get this time around, and how hot will the pussy be? Every Bond installment, aside from the initial 'what the fuck' moment we all have when we realize who the new Bond will be and how he couldn't possibly compare to the Bonds before him, the next thought to enter our minds is 'I really need to rub one out to that hot chick, whatever her name is'. And that's truly the staple of the Bond franchise; the Bond girl. And not only has she been getting more and more exotic, and more and more ridiculous in terms of her ethereal superiority aesthetically speaking, but this time, I think they dropped the ball. It's bland meets bland, and Eve Moneypenny's legacy is totally going down the crapper and fast.

My favorite contemporary Bond girl has to be Eva Green. She's a hugely unconventional choice for this, and perhaps one of the most photogenic human beings on the planet. Also her accent is hot. Winning!

In Quantum of Solace (2008), I really think they reached their zenith by casting not only Eva Green reprising her role from Casino Royale (2006) but Olga Kurylenko as well, I mean that's a hot sandwich that any guy would kill to be in the middle of.

Eva Green has perhaps the best rack this side of pretentious French actresses, and Olga Kurylenko has that Ukranian supermodel thing going for her, so as Bond girls, they are just as iconic as someone like Ursula Andress.

Naomie Harris, the newest Bond girl. Looks like she just walked off the set of Glee.

This new franchise has clearly been about the masculinity of Bond on an action level rather than a womanizing level. How much testosterone he produces is in direct correlation with how many things he blows up rather than how much pussy he gets. What was always great about Bond was that he was a brilliant confluence of the two. Even Batman had his leanings, such as he was great as saving the world from demented creatures but really shitty at long-term relationships. 

Maybe it's just me but I don't consider the new Bond girls any kind of boner worthy; they are pretty, sure, but keep in mind the insane level of aptitude they are competing with. This isn't Junior Varsity Flag Team, this is Bond Girl status. That's pretty immortal to me, and I'm just thinking, this time around, with Naomie Harris, it's going to be a little blah with a dash of whatever. But at least we'll have Adele's beatiful voice over the whole thing, ask me we could have done with her beautiful face in it too. Just because the girl's packing some junk in the trunk doesn't mean the Bond Girl title should be exclusive of her am I right? Why is it that the skinny bitch has always got to do it? Anyway, beats me.

Seductress Pick: Olga Kurylenko

Olga Kurylenko at this year's Venice Film Festival.

This might be the first time in Filth Screen history that I've done two consecutive Seductress Picks in a row, but I'm really excited about Terrence Malick's new film To the Wonder (2012) (wow, that's a sentence I never thought I'd say) and I wanted to write about its lead Olga Kurlylenko who is easily one of the hottest young actresses in the business right now. 

You might say I'm biased because she's one of my people from the good ol' USSR, but she's actually Ukrainian so we really don't have all that much in common...sorry, not a big fan of the Ukraine, but let's stay focused. 

Kurylenko is a Bond girl, so you would think this is an easy post to do, Bond girl on Filth Screen, the blog writes itself, but it's more complicated then that. Only because I choose to make it so but whatever. Miss Olga was definitely blessed to be born in the high end of the gene pool. Beautiful brunette locks of thick hair, enormous bright green eyes, and a body built for sin, and close to being a solid 6 feet tall, she was practically a shoe-in for Bond girl status...or a porn star trajectory so she clearly made the right choice.

She doesn't seem like one that would be cast in a Terrence Malick film. He's kind of a snob. He goes for Charlotte Rampling or Jessica Chastain types. He's not big on conventionally hot models. But apparently to her, he 'hypnotized' her so maybe there's our answer.

Anyway, I don't have too much to say about her other than she's beautiful and I think she has a bright future ahead of her outside of cocaine parties and downward spirals leading to an unimaginable abyss of unhappiness despair and rehab that usually accounts for being the young, hot, new Hollywood thing, but she seems like she has a good head on her shoulders, and in 3 years went from Quantum of Solace (2008) eye and penis candy to distinguished Film Festival fodder, so she's going to be just fine. I've never really seen her 'perform', I mean it doesn't take formal acting training at RADA to be a bond girl, but I'm guessing in To the Wonder (2012) she's very profound and serious and made-under. And when she speaks she's actually pretty coherent and interesting, who'd have thunk? It's usually impossible to be that physically stunning and to have more than air blowing between the two ears, but she's managing to prove that fake statistic wrong. She's got potential, and is probably the only reason why I'll be buying a ticket to To the Wonder (2012). She has a Yvonne De Calro/Sophia Loren vibe about her and brings back a sense of Old Hollywood glamour nostalgia to the big screen. She's not unconventional or strange which is highly popular right now, and even though she takes brazen photographs and always looks like she's in the middle of seducing you, she's actually pretty seemingly mellow and down to earth. Na Zdrovya Olga!
