It's a bit weird that the picture of Brosnan had to be photoshopped to make him look old; yet the picture of Craig - an actual picture of Craig from a film where he was purportedly playing a "young" James Bond - makes Craig look about 58! What a strange world we live in! Will people look back on thi...

New avatars are up now!

Here in the UK it's on nearly every afternoon, so I normally record it. Possibly one of the strangest and most enterntaining television programmes ever made.

Happy Birthday!

I'm watching Heroes as well. I'm watching Lost (not on Sky - so there Sky); and Diagnosis Murder.

cheer up BondFan007!

Blowfeld wrote CR was not produced by Eon and was not billed as Bond 21 would you have recognized the character? I agree; CR was a generic action/spy film and certainly not a "James Bond" film. I think Owen and Jackman are too big for Bond. Bale is Batman so is not available and is probably also to...

No of course I don't wear a tux everyday! You misunderstood my "joke".

Casino Royale was about early Bond

But Craig was 38 in CR. Arrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh! I think The Sweeney, BondFan007 and that man on IMDB are going to have to put white coats on and drag me off......

How often do you put on a tux and not check yourself out in a mirror?

Every day!

What was your favourite Brosnan Bond entry?

I thought Arnold Vosloo would have been a fun Bond. There goes any credibilty I had....

Many of the Bond fans have taken leave fo their senses (:lol: )and now say that Craig is better than the usual Bond favourite Sean Connery.

Which do you prefer?

I think Craig is the shortest to play Bond isn't he?

I think that is why Barbara Broccoli did not like Brosnan that much (apart from him wanting $50 million for his next film or something :lol: ).Brosnan was always vocal about wanting to change Bond and bring in some new writers and directors; this must have annoyed Broccoli. And as The Sweeney said, ...

I feel that Roger Moore's fight scenes are underrated due to the "camp" stereotype which surrounds his films. It's obvious that Sir Roger was a karate expert in real life....

Of course Bond and Bond are both from the same genre, and therefore Bourne copied lots from Bond. But you must admit that CR did copy a lot from the two recent Bourne films?

The tux bit would have been stupid with Clive Owen or another actor of a similar age in the role. A 38 year old James Bond trying on a tux as though he hasn't ever worn one and like it's James Bond's "superhero" costume. Quite bizarre.

I do think that people will tire a little of the Craig "Bond" character and there will be a return to the stereotype Bond sooner rather than later. Bond was radically different here: I thought that's why many people liked him. It's a bit difficult to suddenly suggest he is "much the same as he's alw...

The Sony Bond dossier was tweaked to fit the Craig interpretation of Bond. Fleming's Bond backstory (although it did evolve in Fleming's Bond novels) is different and maybe points to Bond joining the 00 section much earlier than age 38. I think Craig is more Royal Naval caterer than Royal Navy Comma...
