The whole Daniel Craig thing was puzzling. First they said they wanted to reboot Bond, tell his origin, with a young actor. Then they hire a 37 year old who looks a little, uh, lived in, and then they have to adjust the story accordingly. So, it sounds like they have no clear vision at all, which does not bode well. Never a huge fan really, I just read too much entertainment news. I liked the first two Brosnan pictures. Do we need Bond anymore? He just hasn't been as much fun since the Cold War ended.

I really really loathed Roger Moore as Bond. For some reason, he never struck me as dangerous or suave, just kind of lumpy. The next guy (was it Timothy Dalton?) was, I thought, not terribly bad because he seemed slightly evil. This guy though...I may have to just wait for RuPaul's turn.

I think Julian McMahon (Dr. Christian on nip/tuck) would make a good Bond. Craig is so fugly to me.

Clive Owen too.

I ♥ Clive Owen.

Dalton was a great Bond. He seemed more than a little sociopathic and a lot of the time Connery's Bond did as well. Although he usually covered it with charm and Dalton's didn't always bother.

I don't care who they use. I just want Bond to never again say "Shaken not stirred". It's tother way round.

I still can't believe they snubbed Ewan McGregor. Even Clive Owen would have been better than Daniel Craig.

I love Timothy Dalton, I think he was a bit intense for Bond though, he couldn't seem to dial it down to casual, but that very well may have been the director. He was great as Neville Sinclair in The Rocketeer, which is one of those, "feel like a kid again movies" that I find it useful to indulge in sometimes.

It is also a lust after Jennifer Connelly movie, which is also useful to indulge in sometimes.

Clive Owen would have been the best Bond since Connery. The man is a total hardass and makes both sexes swoon, how could he fail? Unfortunately he's said outright that he's not interested in the role and would rather not be tied to a franchise so he could have more freedom in choosing film roles. What, like "Derailed"? C'mon, Clive.

I have mixed feelings about Craig. The only film I've seen him was "Road to Perdition" where he played kind of a weak wuss, but that's who the character was. I've heard he's good in "Layer Cake", but I've yet to see it, so I can't judge his performance. He may not look like a movie Bond, but who knows? Maybe he has the presence to pull it off.

Plus, this film is probably going to suck regardless of Craig, considering that shooting started before the villain and the female lead had even been cast, which is rarely a good sign. The last two Bond films sucked ass despite the fact that Brosnan was good in the role.

That said, I find the web page amusing. From the tone of the site you'd think that the Bond producers were going back and digitally pasting Craig into the older movies.

(And iconomy, I think McMahon would make an awesome Bond villain, rather than Bond.)

I'll take "the penis mightier" for a thousand, Alex.

Another reason why I love you all. I, too, have always like Dalton's Bond, enjoying the darkness he brought to the role, but most places, that tar and feather you for saying so.

Viva le mecha!

Why can't they give the poor guy a chance? At least see the movie before breaking out the tar and feathers, people.

My understanding was that they wanted a tougher, more physical Bond - someone who looked like they'd actually been in a few fights rather than just walked out of a cocktail bar. A gritier Bond without the gadgets. I don't think that's a bad idea and Craig is a really good actor.

The problem is most likely going to be the script and, if they follow the same trajectory of the last Bond, the bloody awful cgi. For a start I don't believe that substantial cgi belongs in a Bond film, it's all about real, live stunts. In fact, talking of Die Another Day, when I saw it in the cinema, many of the audience were bored out of their minds, playing with their phones, walking in and out constantly and leaving before the end. A bit rude but I can't say I blame them.

I think Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond often let down by patchy material. I liked TWINE and Goldeneye but they don't quite capitalise on their great starts and just gradually peter out.

Dalton, for me, was a bit meh. A bit of a nice boy, a bit ineffectual, a bit dull. And what the hell was going on with License To Kill?

And no love for George Lazenby? Maybe not the very best Bond but certainly one of the best Bond films.

Bond movies are tired, silly, and anachronistic now. Who cares who plays him? BO-RING! and there are no postcards.
