If it was me, I would be wanting to work out what makes him tick and respond so as to get that special photo that no-one else can get.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

I think, the Haiti pics are so gorgeous, because he didn´t know at which moment they would get him. The cameras must have been around all the time, so he was caught being himself and concentrating on doing a good job on the phone.

I think because we care about DC we always want to defend him against anyone who tries to bad mouth him, but I personally think Daniel in choosing how to conduct his private and public life has separated the wheat from the chaff and doesn’t waste his time trying to be all things to all men.Germangirl wrote:But these guys are not willing to invest time and their few brain cells - that´s the problem.

There will always be detractors, and debasing yourself to stay in favour ultimately changes nothing he knows from experience that the media will just as easily praise you today and crap on you tomorrow.
If we look at things objectively Daniel isn’t jumping through hoops and still gets to work with the likes of Spielberg and the chaff have the Katie Price of this world. Hugh and Gerald may be more popular and grab more headlines but here’s the thing, for all that media attention how much bigger are their careers.
Truth, wisdom, love, seek reasons; malice only seeks causes.

I think Hugh and Gerard's careers are a lot bigger then DC's . They play the game and smooze . Add the grosses of their films or even just films in which he was the major star in the film . he has only been first billing in Bond and Defiance films ...I don't think I would even count the british leads in films except for Layercake which had a small splash in the states . Being the designated guy in flicks with Gwenie , Angie, and Nic didn't register him on the popularity scale .
I'll even concede he is a A lister now , bu it's not doing much for him . I don't see long lists of movies in pre production on his IMDB listinging . Hollywood is giving all it's money to the same proven money makers and he is'nt one of them yet , except for Bond , Definance did ok , better then some latley .
