Why is Craig's hair not dyed black for Bond?

Post by Powder Puff »

If you want to know why Daniel Craig does not dye his hair black for Bond watch The Jacket.

But really, any Bond film with Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton or Brosnan is fine.

Good God! [insert puking emoticon here] Now he looks like a morose, sociopathic pedophile, rather than just a morose sociopath.

His hair colour isn't a problem for me. If they hired an actor that could be charming when needed and then convincingly play it tough but just happened to be blonde, then I couldn't complain.

It is always makes me laugh when someone says " in 2006 some people opposed Craig's casting because he has blond hair".

The look on his face in that picture of him with the dyed hair makes him look even stranger than he always does.

It annoys me. It is just a way of minimising the objections to Craig's casting by reducing them to a simple case of nerd rage over something relatively trivial, like the Dredd fans complaining that the shoulder pads are the wrong size in the trailer for the new movie.

I think that's precisely what the EON crowd wanted. They framed the debate as one over whether or not Bond could be blonde, whereas the real complaints of fans went well beyond that. But in framing the debate that way, the Craig-heads can try to make us look infantile (never mind that they are the ones who look infantile - especially if you try actually reading the agrammatical crap they write on their boards . . .).

I can think of plenty of blond actors who would be good as Bond. I can think of one balding actor with a haircut belonging to a middle school coach who sucks at it.

Most are Eon shills paid to do that. I bet they have one person making believe they are fifty people on the Eon master "stealth ISP address" computers.

You mock Sir Daniel Craig's acting ability, but I ask you Thunders: could anyone else have wobbled that drink in the mirror in CR like Daniel Craig? That took great acting ability, the pace of that wobbling was exquisite. :twisted:

I could've done a better torture scene in My sleep, hell craig almost acted like he was getting off on it (shudders), yes, yes, hit me, hit me, yeah I like it etc is what I almost thought I was gonna hear.

Had that been Brosnan or the older bonds they would've shown pain (like in the book) and bond would've passed out not got off on it.

Macaulay culkin when he was in home alone showed more emotion then cregg.

If Brosnan had been in the torture scene in CR his detractors would have been tediously joking about his "pain face"; but when Daniel Craig has a basic action/ thriller film torture scene it's a great piece of acting. :wink:
