Skyfall the movie coming soon!

Aside from he name it doesn't seem as bad as the rumors were leading up to the presser. Harris would be fine as an agent, MP takes a little something more probably better for younger actress, of whatever skin tone far as I am concerned.
I hope they leave Q and MP out of the story until criag leave he set the tone of not having those characters so it would be better to finish without them.

I'm looking for a video of the presser just to see what it looked like.

12:12pm: Will Javier and Daniel be taking their shirts off? Barbara: "d**n right!"

And Craig can now sue her as soon as he is done working for her. If this were a male producer saying this about a female star, no way it is appropriated behavior.


Trying to find a pic from today, this one is from CvA and Craig look like he is going to lose it.

Craig does look very odd with almost nonexistent hair, obviously they are going to some sort of beard thing, those two look like "oh god is he touching me", keep the pose, keep the pose, freeze the smile.

Yeah, not trying to sound sexist (and no offense to female viewers here) but this is the same sad crap some female (some not all) get away with on UK tv getting a guy to strip down, point at them or in interviews ask them to do that..a male presenter wouldn't say to a woman show us your...etc love why because it's sexist but yet it can be done for this and seriously wtf why is bond and the villain shirtless? if it's a scene where bonds seducing a woman, getting changed or going to the beach I can understand, but this?, this is meant to be bond ffs not a fighting film where that's expected, christ we've already lost the sauveness, class, cool villains, gadgets, hot bond women, q, moneypenny and bond now we've got this and if craig grew a pair he should retaliate to babs comment because regardless of hating craig she's being bloody sexist.

I tend to treat women with respect and hate when we get that crap on tv where we aren't treated with it and get what we shouldn't, I probably sound stupid saying this but not all of us guys like to show off like that, I like dressing smart and having class.

Hope what I said didn't sound like crap but wth what she said is what's expected in a typical action film, not a bond film even if it has action , may as well call it bond 23: ultimate fighter, beep this bond I'm out, sooner he sods off with babs the better.

The video is worse mate.Although it was tongue and cheek for the most part. Danno should object to this because it reinforces what everyone already thinks they know, he didn't get the job because of skill or merit if you take my meaning.

The bond franchise may as well be called twilight now, any other actor would've reacted to babs comment, but since craig seems to like being babs pet he wont say anything, but I guess like this bond (no balls) it's expected, it just really ticks Me off that this is meant to be more of an equel society for everyone but now it seems more like it's gone the opposite way and ..yeah if I was an actor and someone only wanted Me in a film for the opposite and not My skills I'd ask why the hell am I here then, if that's what danielle wants so much along with babs go be a bloody male model not james bond, bond always had style and class now he's bile and crass, then again most daytime tv shows seem to do that if a guys on, sometimes before they're on they don't talk about their acting skills and say when he's there we basically don't care what you have to say, take your clothes off, again maybe it's just Me and getting the wrong impression here but what the hell's happening to this world?, I would've said pardon and questioned them, I don't treat women like sex objects and I don't understand why we have to be treated like that as well, I want to hear what said actors films about because it sounds interesting but said female presenter only wants them there for exact same reason babs wants craig in the bond films..again it's an insult and I don't know if it's just Me that feels like that sometimes.

I'll give the video a miss, I guess it was expected, afterall babs put craigs bond in womens clothing and he didn't seem to object, what a spineless actor, I sorta feel sorry for craig but if he isn't gonna say anything then it's his own fault.

Sorry for the long rant.

I think one of the twists in Skyfall is Albert Finney is to drag up and Be Bond's scottish housemaid May.
Hence the "Emotional scottish Connection "

[007]

I started watching it on Sky but they cut out to cover the Greek debt crisis. I suppose anything is better than listening to Sam Mendes and Barbara Broccoli. Daniel Craig looked like he could barely stay awake as usual. What a fascinating and witty man he is.

[Omega]

The video is weirder than the transcripts what I could watch of it.

[CaptainLewis]

Skyfall? After making such a fuss claiming to be Fleming's TRUE creation, it didn't take them long to deviate from the source material.

Ho-hum, maybe Ralph Fiennes can save this film.

[FormerBondFan]

Ho-hum, maybe Ralph Fiennes can save this film.

I think you're wasting your time hoping anything good for this movie, and I'm sure BJ will agree with me on this.

[Dr. No]

In SKYFALL, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

Sounds like a Lifetime movie of the week.

It's all so boring. A new James Bond is needed.
