See a seal. We had training and one of the picture part of the presentation looked like spilled ink to most what they were looking for nobody saw until the pointed it out. Which was the point of the exercise, once you know what to look for you see it every time

Cavill is starring in the upcoming Matthew Vaughn movie Argylle about the world's greatest spy with the world's worst haircut.

Could this be his final push towards Bond? Or could it actually diminish his chances?

Pierce Brosnan has expressed a number of times over the years that he didn’t think he actually did a great service to the James Bond character. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly (via CheatSheet), Brosnan had said that there were a number of different things that bothered him about playing James Bond at the time. For starters, he said he “loathed” the “one-liners” that the character was known for. Pierce Brosnan expressed that he doesn’t like looking back on his time as James Bond. Though he said that it afforded him other opportunities, later on, namely the name recognition and financial benefits, he can’t necessarily enjoy the time as the character. He said, “I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. ‘Cause it’s just never good enough…It’s a horrible feeling.”-------another malcontent Bond. Get lost :!:

The writing on the tombstone should be changed to 1962-2002 as Broccoli herself buried the franchise long before this was fabricated: Image I sense a DB rant on this matter :!:

Lots of actors hate watching themselves on screen after the fact. I don't think we should hold it against Pierce.

No offense Broz but what absolute tosh.

Here's a man who needs to accept he was far better than he believes. :007:

Unfortunately Pierce has fallen victim to the "universal truth" that his Bond is lesser than his successor, the tragedy is he's doing this as his renaissance is starting to come upon us.

Sorry BJ, just a cheap attempt at visitor boosting from this island's tourism board, no need for a rant.

Something needs to be done, but IMHO I think films need to dial back run times to solve the problem, why is a vapid film with with no real story to tell a la NTTD running as long as an epic like The Ten Commandments, a film telling the story of the book of Exodus?!

LOL, it kind of reminds me of the trip I took to the Bahamas a few years back, we stopped at the resort featured in Casino Royal. I winced at the prospect of all the fanboys parading about showing off their officially licensed Omega watches in Craig polos, or worse tiny blue swim shorts! However, thankfully such was not the case, despite this being ground zero for the Craig era, you know the greatest bond to ever live, nary a whimper was spoken of him. There was, I believe, one photo of his greatness on a piano surrounded by 10-12 pictures of Connery some from films that didn't even take place on the island! Such is the state of Craig based tourism.

During a taxi ride in Rome our cab driver pointed out several Bond-related sites.
