Yup...Confused & Stirred as James Bond *Confirmed*

Last I heard...Bond was (still) a billion dollar franchise...so why are they putting in the hands of a greasy looking, "I look like I used to beat people up for money", "What's a martini again?", "How do you knot a tie properly?", "My face is a complete mess...but in a soccer-thug way...not a sexily rugged way", "Sprechen sie deutsch?" guy? Daniel Craig is about as dark, suave and irresistable as the percentage of organic materials present in Jessica Simpson's body. Surely banging Sienna Miller doesn't give you that much currency in Hollywood....

*sigh*...another Bond film I'll never watch.

The whole Bond franchise is headed right down the toilet. Craig is going to piss himself when he realizes just how much the public hates him as the new Bond. I thought that James Bond was supposed to be tall, dark, and handsome; none of which apply to Danny boy. There will be no Bond without Brosnan!

I think even Kenneth Branagh would be a better choice than this guy. He's just not good looking enough (for Siena Miller maybe but not for every woman in the world).

I can't get over this! I mean look at him! Totally inappropriate and a complete insult to the Bond legacy. What the fuck were they thinking? Robbie Williams and Eric Bana lost to this shrivelled up door-to-door salesman! I want a brunet Bond dammnit!

Aw,come on now. He's not THAT bad looking. I bet he can clean up well for 007. Besides, remember, when they traded Connery for Roger Moore back in the '70's, everyone hated him too, but he grew into the role rather well........

hey WWJDD...I was just thinking...since you mentioned boxer...what about Daniel Day Lewis....he's not my type of Bond...but since they're looking for someone with 'acting skills'...that would have been better.
Yeah Jack...I fell in LUV w/ Kenneth Branagh after watching the lovely 'Much Ado About Nothing'
:)
Not sure if he could hack it as bond though...but wouldn't Emma Thompson make a fantabulous Bond-villain???

All good points but thank christ they didn't pick Robbie Williams. Then casting agents would have to die.
My money's on Danny goin the same way as George Lazenby ie Too ugly to be bond, gets too big for his boots thinkin he's the only one for the following film and they fire him.
That slightly less ugly guy from Closer and the Bourne Identity would have been better.

NealK ....you always make me laugh :)
yeah...Robbie looks like Bond's wayward illegitemate son...not actually Bond...but anyway
hmm...I hate blog spam as well...ATM it's low enough to manage manually...I would put that comment verification...but I find the verification to be practically as annoying as the spam...

He was hot in Sylvia and that accent drives me up the wall. I must admit, he doesnt seem to fit the physique of a Bond, (perhaps he should stick to playing introspective poets, but surely he cant be all that bad.

The good thing about him is, he looks quite good and icy cool from a far away angle. But a blonde Bond? Nah.

I agree with Clive Owen. When I first saw him years and years ago, I said: "That guy is going to be the next Bond. Mark my words."
Guess I was wrong. :(

Elisita said...

hey Dawn...you still might be right...I down Craig will last more than 1 movie...

hmm...does anyone else think that Clive Owen looks like Ross from friends? *shudder* Granted...I've never seen him in a movie...just judging by stills.

Yeah that good looking in an ugly sort of way thing. Except David Schwimmer is just plain ugly.

Nadie said...

omg. He looks like he's more suited to dress up in green and guard the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Why would anyone in their right mind cast a leprechaun as Bond???

Elisita said...

Leprechaun as Bond! Classic!
