    Personally I think whoever picked him has lost the plot, to coin a phrase "he's pants!!" :rolleyes:

    The actor maybe good in certain films I have seen but in the roll or James Bond, British SPY he's not got the look, style, Joie de Vivre etc

    Question: who would you have picked for the roll?

    Pierce Brosnan was pretty fast paced. :cool:
    Roger Moore had a Glass Jaw. :(
    Sean Connery set the tone... were there other Bond's :confused:

    It'll take some getting used to but this new guy better not suck... :rolleyes:

    I was kiddin' around...my son's a James Bond Freak, he's got the Bond Encyclopedia, and we always have the same agrument of who was (is) the best Bond... ;)

    So I always say the same thing when the subject comes up... "Were there Other Bonds?" :)

    Connery set the standard. Brosnan is only one who came close, since.

    The worst was Woody Allen in the Original spoof of Casino Royale - stinko. Funny, typical Allen movie, but not James Bond.

    I think Clive Owen would have been OK.

    GK, you didn't like Casino Royale? It was hilarious, in a sixties sort-of-way :D

    I only saw it once, when it first came out. At the time, I was SERIOUSLY into reading every Bond book 3-4 times, and didn't really appreciate Woody's talent for what it was/is. Now I realize it was a classic spoof, but it pissed me off at the time.

    I'm interested in seeing what they will do with the new Casino Royale.

    Well, as is usually the deal with most classic movie remakes, it will probably be a joke ;)

    These are his answers to the press briefing yesterday...........

    Q: How do you feel about getting the job?
    A: I can't tell you really. I'm speechless. [wonder if he actually knew what job he got!]

    Q: Why do you want to play Bond?
    A: Why not? [I'm in it for the money]

    Q: Who's your ideal Bond girl?
    A: I've got my ideal Bond girl. [I hate it when hacks ask a tough question]

    Q: Why are you the ideal 21st century Bond?
    A: I can't answer that. I don't know. [I have no passion to play Bond]

    Q: What are the reasons for Bond's enduring popularity?
    A: I don't know the answer to that. [Mmmmm whats this Bond they are all refering to?]

    Q: Are you looking forward to becoming a legend?
    A: I don't know about that. [Well on this wooden interniew DONT THINK SO sonny]

    Q: What will you bring to the character?
    A: I would love to give you a long convoluted answer but I don't have one. [eeer quick where's the script writer when you need them]

    Q: How are you going to make your James Bond different?
    A: It's really difficult to answer just yet and we're going to have wait until I've done it. I want to make the best Bond I can. [think he was talking about glueing an IKEA chair together]

    Q: (Referring to yesterday's exclusive Mirror story) Who'd have thought the greatest spy's own worst enemy would be his mum who told everybody you were going to be the new James Bond. How did you react to that?
    A: I'd rather not say. Hey ho.

    Q: Are you going to be the first blond Bond? What kind of changes will you be making?
    A: Not that many. [some charisma may be a good start!]

    Q: Are you going to be dyeing your hair? It looks darker in the publicity photos.
    A: It's just the lighting, that's all.

    Q: So you're going to be blond?
    A: I think so. [yes or no .... simple answers will suffice]

    my thoughts are on[xxxxx]

    Think Star has hit it bang on the money after the above

    Connery was the best and Brosnan a good runner-up.

    This new guy...eh...hope he can act 'cause he sure doesn't even come close to the look.
