I don't think anyone can replace Bob Hoskins as Super Mario.

I used to watch every now and again as a kid when it would come on after Saturday morning cartoons in the days of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage. I was referring more towards the Super Mario show with Lou Albano as Mario.

I’ve heard this rumor on the radio , I saw him in bullet train , yes his role was goofy to a pint but he was good at it, if they write him decent movies he could be ok.
He is a much better actor than Craig

That interesting because he was told by WB to announce it and he turned down roles to be Superman again. I think WB had more trouble with their dc brand than they let on, there’s a batgirl movie in the can, done , not going to be released, wonder woman three canceled.
I’m not sure if they are still pushing flashpoint , i I can’t think of the flash actors name right now, but he’s a creepy guy.

Well, I think Henry Cavill looks like bond I’m not sure he’s right either. He’s better at playing bad guys or rolls like the Witcher.

Big O, Wonder Woman 2 was an abomination of a trash film. The ONLY good scenes were the opening ones of her as a young girl. After that, it was all :down: :!:

James Bond, a muggle's perspective: https://mediachomp.com/list-of-things-i ... nd-novels/

Some of this is the usual faux-outrage that books written in the 1950s display the attitudes of the 1950s (though written with enough humour that it doesn't get too annoying), but other entries remind you that Fleming's books could be wonderfully bonkers at times, and weren't as po-faced as the Craigskis like to pretend.

I normally try to avoid posting clickbait, but I think this one deserves some sort of award for sheer chutzpah: https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/n ... named.html

Here's more clickbait.

https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/a ... -bond.html

Exclusive: Aaron Taylor-Johnson In Final Talks For James Bond

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is close to securing the role of James Bond in the latest iteration of the character after three intense meetings and a successful screen test. According to our trusted and proven sources, the Bullet Train actor is at the penultimate step of becoming the next 007 after months of speculation and increasing reports that he is in high contention for the role. If Aaron Taylor-Johnson does become James Bond, this will make him the seventh (official) actor to take on the part and the tied for second youngest.

At age 32, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is right square in the appropriate age bracket to play James Bond for at least the foreseeable future. He also has the action credentials to convincingly play the globetrotting spy, first breaking out to audiences in the gritty superhero films Kick-Ass (2010) and Kick-Ass 2 (2013), in which he proved he can convincingly take a beating on screen. After that, Aaron Taylor-Johnson took on the role of Pietro Maximoff for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though he only stuck around for 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron before being killed off.

Since then, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has appeared in a range of action-oriented films including the Brad Pitt-led ensemble film Bullet Train and Christopher Nolan’s Tenet alongside John David Washington and Robert Pattinson. The role of 007 is simultaneously one of the most coveted and problematic roles in Hollywood, in that it instantly launches an actor into the upper stratosphere of fame and also causes their entire career to be focused on a single role. If Aaron Taylor-Johnson takes on the role of James Bond, hopefully, he is prepared for the consequences.

For now, we will have to wait for confirmation from EON Productions and Barbara Broccoli that the waiting is over and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is our new James Bond. He certainly seems to be closing in on it.

"New Bond selected... by George Lazenby."

Given the history of Bond actor announcements, no matter what the story or the source I for one am not believing any of it until Babz herself comes out and and says so!

Yes, the disconnect between the headline and the actual story genuinely made me laugh.

Lisa Marie Presley reportedly was rushed to a hospital Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest. EMTs responded to a call reporting a possible cardiac arrest at Presley’s home in Calabasas, Calif., and upon arrival, paramedics performed CPR on the 54-year-old and administered epinephrine, TMZ reported, citing sources. The outlet noted that first responders were able to find a pulse before Presley was transported to a nearby hospital.
