Craig has'nt got any of these qualities & has only made one offical Bond movie (that is one too many for me !). Comparing Connery to Moore or Brosnan is a better debate.The Sweeney wrote:Connery has been my fav Bond ever since I was 2 minutes old.
I guess it all depends on how Craig's next film is.
If it is as good as CR, then he may well pip my all-time fav No. 1 spot......
Those are all weak points in agruing that Daniel Craig is not a worthy Bond. I don't think he's a better Bond than Connery. But he hasn't been given a fair go by alot of people, who come across as alot of kiddies whinning that smarmy army Boresnan got dropped. This idea that his height is wrong is frankly pathetic mate. The thing with the character of Bond is that he's so different to alot of people that he has a different appeal to many. Fans of the books. Fans of the 6 different Bond actors...and the style they each played the character. I like all about Bond. Every aspect. And have a like of all the Bond actors. Though DAD was the biggest pile of c r a p in the franchise's history. How anyone can argue about CR after that fiasco is beyond me.

Patient gurgles going in to a seizure.

So other than being a House fan (not that there's anything wrong with that) what was the point of this again?Harvey Wallbanger wrote:Dr House on Connery Vs. Craig.

Not necessarily, but being amusing is sufficient reason for a post's existence, I feel.Captain Nash wrote:So should most posts be amusing?

This goes shows the American consciousness of 007 and the actors that play him. One of the only American shows to mention Daniel by name. Intriguingly while it does not "bash" Daniel, neither does it fall in line with the Hype.Captain Nash wrote:So should most posts be amusing?Kristatos wrote:Well, it was amusing.

In the last few weeks there were 007 references on top rated shows that never broach the subject of Daniel concentrating on the classic, enjoyable Bond.
"Those were the days when we still associated Bond with suave, old school actors such as Sean Connery and Roger Moore,"
"Daniel didn't have a hint of suave about him," - Patsy Palmer

Apparently there's no such thing as bad press.

There must be a whole school of acting dedicated to hospital acting seizures, spasms, how to mimic various conditions.
