Yet another Bond celeb says Craig is not Bond....HONOR BLACKMAN SLAMS LATEST 007 DANIEL CRAIG
Saturday September 11,2010
AFTER George Lazenby declared he doesn’t care if the Bond franchise ends, former Bond girl Honor Blackman has criticised current 007 actor Daniel Craig.
Honor, 85, who played Pussy Galore alongside Sean Connery in Goldfinger in 1964, doesn’t think original Bond author Ian Fleming would be so keen either.
“I don’t think Fleming would approve,” she tells benhealth magazine. “Bond was someone who could bed a lady then kill her, and then have a cocktail and move on.
But they don’t allow that sort of thing now. It isn’t the character that Ian wrote about. It’s not Bond is all I can say.”

Re: Honor Blackman slams Craig
Actually a little bit damning. Not that i think eon cares. They gave up on Bond when Daniel was hired,
Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

They gave up on the traditional Bond and decide to twist the franchise into their own image.Dr. No wrote:Actually a little bit damning. Not that i think eon cares. They gave up on Bond when Daniel was hired,

I'd thought they would go for at death's door, demented maybe.

Re: Honor Blackman slams Craig
Sophie Marceau, Honor Blackman, Edward Fox.....lots of celebs have said they don't like Craig and the reboot.
Bring back Bond!
Re: Honor Blackman slams Craig
Fanboys: "Kill the infidel!!" Sadly, that's not an exaggeration. There are probably a lot of them that would like Honor Blackman to be stoned to death in a public square.

Re: Honor Blackman slams Craig
OK, OK, it IS an exaggeration. But speaking out against the Bond films(especially when you have a "popular with the masses"-HA! That a good one!- Bond like Craig) is frowned upon and will definitely make you unpopular with Bond fanb..I mean fans.

I thought there were a few more. Doesn't matter, if we could prove without a doubt 3 or4 million really don't like Craig it still wouldn't matter to some or Eon come to think of it.carl stromberg wrote:Sophie Marceau, Honor Blackman, Edward Fox.....lots of celebs have said they don't like Craig and the reboot.
I get why Moore and Dalton do it, they were heavily criticized and they will without question defend who ever is being attacked. Actors are thin skinned and since they were criticized they well a duty to hold up the line. They do not stop of one moment to consider what or why fan like us were up set they jumped on board a blame wagon and chastised us for not being open or understanding enough, it not like were were blocking Craig's right to build a mosque or anything. We thought he was inappropriate for James Bond, we didn't want him dead just successfully working elsewhere. Which looks like that last part may be happening right now.

Re: Honor Blackman slams Craig
No surprise there. I doubt any of the old iconic Bond girls would look at Craig and see James Bond.

The iconic Bond girls' opinions about Craig go over about as well as a fart in church at the fan websites.
