This is not a proper Q: http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image ... 435038.jpg He looks more like someone who belongs at Hogwarts :!: This film is shaping up to be an utter disgrace all the way around with horrific castings, a plot tangential to Bond's presence emphasized on M, and a clueless director who believes Bond looks better as a pale, unshaven miscreant.

As for McQueen, he was the king of cool. There is a passing resemblence between the two actors, but I agree Craig doesn't have the same swagger and coolness that McQueen naturally exuded.
:lol: I'm sorry, didn't mean to wear you down :lol: but yes we definitely agree on swagger and coolness, that's the thing for me. I swear I really try and find a way not to dislike Craig at times (I have nothing against him per se, and if he does other things I'm fine with it, I just don't want him as Bond! LOL) but then these things are said and I lose hope :lol: I do think the way he married Weisz was great in terms of keeping it private (Both obvs cheating on previous girlfriend and husband is not equally great LOL but hey, can't have perfection.) AND I agree with him COMPLETELY about the Kardashians.. There. That's about it. :lol:

American Idol's ratings are WAY down to "under 20 million" watching. They averaged 25 million in the past years. Most people seem to think The Voice is better to watch because the singers are already somewhat established and there is no BS with the horrific ones that Idol struts out for effect. It will be interesting to see if The Voice out does the ratings Idol is now doing ,after the Superbowl in 10 days. IF The Voice does not lose too much of their Superbowl lead in audience, Idol will be in big trouble and Tyler, Jackson, and J-Lo can hit the road once and for all with their show. Cowell's X-Factors tanked on both sides of the ocean. Will Smash and The Voice be the new "it" tv shows? Will Ale finally interview Henry Cavill on the set of The Man Of Steel? Will Sweeney finally become one of us and detest DC as Bond? Will FBF be successful in stopping SPITEFUL from being nominated for any Oscars? Will MP enjoy her cruise to Alaska? Will I bump into Danielle on the streets of NYC and tell him what I think of him? Will Djokovic win the grand slam? These are things of interest in 2012 :!: :lol:

I would hate to stop any of you and ask you about your day job. :shock: I might be stabbed :lol:

I will not bother to deny Craig can be prickly at times other times he is charming as Bond should be. Those interviews somehow fail to find their way here.......... wonder why? While Daniel Craig is no McQueen he does exude the same macho quality.

Probably should not have come back after four years. Time to hand it off for the good of the franchise.

You find Cr-egg charming at times as Bond? Pray tell, where? Pinpoint the exact moment Jack. He stepped off the small boat in 2005, wearing a life preserver, after clutching on to the sides of the boat with a death grip from fright, and his first words uttered to the media were: "that scared the s--t out of me!" Charming intro Jack? Find me ONE interview where he does not use profanity in his mumbled speech to ANY reporter at a lengthy exchange.

The cruise is to Alaska, but it's not 'till August. I went on a cruise(to the Caribbean 8) ) almost a year ago.

He was great on the Stephen Colbert Show. It was about six weeks ago, when TGWTDT opened. Warm, funny, articulate. When asked, he turned on the Bond persona and it was amazing to watch the instant transformation. I only saw it because I watch Colbert's show. I don't care about actor interviews generally.

http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colber ... niel-craig Here is the Colbert interview Gala. I see nothing of him being funny, warm or articulate. He is carried by Colbert the entire interview. He said very little and laughed at Colbert's jokes about him. He scratched his face too much and looked like the inane drone he is. Where did he turn on the Bond charm, while talking, upon request, about washing his sweater vests?

I watched the Colbert interview. Craig seemed a LOT less a$$holish than he usually does. Maybe someone is trying to work with him on that.He's already done a lot of damage to his image by being p!ssy with interviewers. It remains to be seen if it helps.

*The half-hour breakdown, not reflected in the numbers below, is as follows: From 8 to 8:30 p.m., "Big Bang" drew 16 million viewers and a 5.4 in adults 18-49 to 15.5 million and 4.8 for "Idol." It appears American Idol has had it's run and people are tired of it. The Voice awaits?

I do not believe people can curse on Colbert, unless I am wrong, for I never watch him, so that is why no expletives were hurled.

His interview with Jon Favreau. He was warm and funny came across as a guy most people would like to know. Some times he can smile and talk cordially other times he give one word answers as happened on the red carpet. Plenty of good examples out there and I sure you can find plenty of bad examples to. I think Robert Pattinson is actually worse at interviews than Craig, it tends to be a first impression with most people I saw a bad interview with Pattinson so I think of him as a bad interview subject, Craig's first interviews many of them were without a doubt bad, but he got better at them as he got more comfortable in the role.
