Urgh, I fell for the clickbait. If you see a story in your news feed about a "James Bond actor" being found dead, complete with lurid details about his sex life, be warned that this "James Bond actor" turned out to be some guy who had a Third Spear Carrier role in Skyfall.

Image It's almost as believable as these 2 hooking up in real life on any mission whatsoever. Just call Cr-egg 'fingers' and tell him to keep his palms off her body when the cameras stop rolling :!: Just like George Bush Sr.'s favorite book, Cr-egg loves to read "David Cop-A-Feel" while on the set too :!: I wonder what Rachel thinks?

Did anyone post this?

That scene perfectly describes my feelings about Daniel Craig finally bidding adieu to the James Bond franchise as production on the 25th movie begins this week: It’s the happiest funeral ever. After all, over the past 13 years this guy has ruined Bond.
Since Craig first donned the spy’s tuxedo in 2006’s “Casino Royale,” the franchise has turned increasingly homogeneous, dreary and frankly skippable. The granddaddy of super-spy films is now one of the most mediocre action series out there — and Craig is largely to blame for it.
During his reign, 007 has become a bitter curmudgeon who jets ‘round the world pouting and going rogue in seemingly every film. Huh, kinda sounds like Craig himself.

The 51-year-old actor complains ad nauseam about how the role has him in a creative headlock, and that he’d rather take on more challenging parts. He once said he’d prefer to “slash my wrists” rather than be paid millions of dollars to play an internationally beloved character again. Fine. He’s not the first Bond to air such grievances. But when the infinitely better Roger Moore wanted a raise, he didn’t carry the toxicity of negotiations into the scene. Craig does, and it shatters the mood.

Daniel Craig set to undergo SURGERY after injuring his ankle while filming Bond 25 in Jamaica

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/a ... maica.html

Daniel will need to have two weeks of rehabilitation after surgery
Production will continue while Craig is recovering from the operation

The comments are interesting with people having a snipe -"saying he's leaving every year always does one more film" "Can't resist the £0££y!" "He's too old to be Bond." "too old and too grumpy and too arrogant." etc

In the past there would have been many positive comments from Craig fans and fake Eon posters, but I don't think they can bothered now.

It’s odd that nobody criticizing the series now hasn’t put together how much time Craig is actually not on set or on camera. bulk of the filming is the guy in a mask

The healing time for ligaments will be more than 2 weeks and IF the dolt returns prematurely he will either damage it again or be limited in his action sequences for the duration of the filming of this mess. You cannot run fast on any surgically treated ankle after only 2 weeks. The healing alone could take a month. This film should be scrapped, from the lack of a title and plot, to a boring leading lady, to a ridiculous Grace Jones cameo, and a 5 year hiatus :!:

I suspect EON are contractually obliged to deliver some sort of Bond movie on April 20th. Whether the contract specifies that it has to be any good is a matter for the lawyers.

It looks like the mask man will be busy. Looks better than Craig anyway.

How odd looking do you have to be that they can't find a stunt man who looks sufficiently enough like you that he has to wear a Halloween mask?!

That was my initial thought, between the useless promotional video, lack of title and the fact he's hurt so early in production that relatively little has been spent thus far you have to wonder.

Harrison Ford Says He's the Only One Who Gets to Play Indiana Jones: 'When I'm Gone, He's Gone'-----Indiana Jones will die when Harrison Ford dies, if the actor has his way.

Appearing on NBC’s Today on Friday, Ford spoke about playing the legendary archaeologist and insisted nobody else will fill the role going forward.

“Don’t you get it? I’m Indiana Jones,” Ford, 76, said. “When I’m gone, he’s gone. It’s easy.”

I had heard of them but not their accounts. I doubt many who casually read it understand the risk they took not participating. It’s not the nice 21st century where they can file complaints, these men disobeyed orders and it was against the official government position for their story to get out. I think the fact they survived this mean higher up generals agreed with them and block punitive actions.

What bothers me about the 19th century America is the brutality the Indians suffered at the hands of us army, the reason for the army’s actions was corruption in government directing policy that enriched business interests. Most of the westward development, and reason treaties were broken were monetary. But the us government, politicians, media, and organized religions sold it as some sort of moral obligation to subjugate the heathens.

James Bond actor Daniel Craig is back in the UK after sustaining an injury to his ankle while shooting the next installment of the spy series. Spotted at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, Daniel looked to be struggling with his injury and appeared to hold on to the door of a trailer for stability........this is going well. Cr-egg looks awful. It will take TIME for this to heal. Get the masked stunt double ready to do 90% of the action scenes now :!: Image Image

Maybe they need to cast someone more suave and dynamic, like Nick Nolte.
