The rumor now is that Daniel Craig may be the next James Bond. i thought Pierce Brosnan had a few more movies left in him, but what do i know. Daniel Craig is not someone whose name i recognize and
he appears blonde. IMDb says
in Sylvia, that depressing Sylvia Plath biography with Gwynneth Paltrow. i thought he was good in that role, and Hughes being such a controversial figure he must have had to walk a fine line. Craig was also in the first Tomb Raider, but i can't remember his character.

The Bonds always change... The ones they pick are never 'choice' but they always turn out good

Apparently Cubby Broccoli's wife didn't like Brosnan, so she had him axed. He was willing to do at least two more movies.
Thanks for the poetry today, btw. Even if it's been raining like hell for the past week in New England, at least Frost can make me think it's a lovely fall.

It will be interesting to see who is picked, though, IMHO, Sean Connery is the standard by whom everyone is judged, he still is the very definition of the the James Bond for movies.

From the pictures, I'm not a fan. It's the eyes. They look too... innocent? Youthful? James Bond needs slightly squinty, wisened, piercing eyes. I was holding out hope for Clive Owen, personally.

What about the SNL guy who imitates Sean Connery? Could he portray Bond as a slutty buffoon?

I'm a Brosnan fan. Next to Connery, he is the best of the rest. But I saw Craig in Layer Cake and thought he was excellent. So, if it's true, at least they are picking a good actor.

I'm a big Brosnan fan too. Hopefully the new guy won't let anyone down.

He was a little nancy boy.

I thought Pierce had hung up his PPK. Speaking of PPKs, have you considered the Bersa .380 Thunder? Just bought one for my wife, perfect for her, and I expect to find it handy as well. Not a cannon, but more than adequate.

i'm looking for a place that will rent the Walther P99. Or maybe a P38. i'll have to look into that Bersa idea.

Hey Lazenby wasn't that bad.

i'd rank Lazenby right after Connery, actually. i loved On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

That one also has a great theme song. But Lazenby's biggest problem was he came after Connery (ignoring Never Say Never Again, which technically ISN'T a Bond Film). Moore was probably my fourth favorite, Dalton as the fifth, but I found his films horrid.
