Life comes at you fast and we've got a lot to discuss this week, people, so #Letsgo. 10.07.21 Daniel Craig reflects on his final Bond role in 'No Time to Die' All good things must come to an end — be it seasons, TV shows or even relationships. Daniel Craig gets it because he's got a real big ending, which gets us into: 'No Time to Die'
Barring a miracle, it looks like the 25th James Bond film marks the last time we shall see Daniel Craig in the role he has played over the past 15 years.
I talked to Craig, some of his cast members, and the film's director, Cary Joji Fukunaga, about the experience of working on Craig's final Bond film.
"It's going to take me 15 years to unpack it all I think," Craig told me. "I've had so many incredible experiences. ... I'll need to think about them. I'm just massively grateful and fortunate to have had such a wonderful experience."
The latest film is action packed and hits theaters Friday.

'It'll All Make Sense in the End' by James Arthur
From his 2012 win on "The X Factor," James Arthur rose to international acclaim. Now, he's releasing his fourth album.
"It'll All Make Sense in the End" comes after Arthur had some rough times, including a battle with crippling anxiety and a controversy over lyrics criticized as homophobic that derailed his career.
The singer apologized and told The Irish Times that the pandemic influenced his recent work.
"With the pandemic, and being isolated, I suffered (because of his anxiety)," he said. "In the end it forced me to do what I loved doing, which is make music. And to try to put that anxiety into songwriting."
The new album drops Friday.

There has been lots of attention paid to how the use of "beauty" filters on social media apps like Instagram are affecting young people.
But what about the older ones?
Jamie Lee Curtis, who has said she got hooked on prescription pain pills years ago following plastic surgery, is not a fan of filters and cosmetic procedures.
"The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty," she told Fast Company in an interview.
The obsession with youth and looking good in our culture has intensified thanks to social media. But, at the end of the day, we all have to find the beauty within.
