If QOS is anything remotely like a Brosnan flick, then you will have the biggest anti-Bond fan on here from now on...... :evil:
I agree................but even if QOS is action laden like DAD, i dont think for one moment that the script for QOS will let us down as it did in DAD.

Despite what some people have said here............i think the first teaser trailer due in the summer, will give us an essense of how QOS will be.

Then in your case, Eon can NEVER return to their Bond roots, or else you will become me. :lol: Do you really believe this 'new' conceptual commodity will remain the gold standard from now until the saga ends, if it ever does?

I'd say not, but it was popular in CR and still is.

I think Graham Rye summed it up when he said;

“Craig is going to fall into two camps, ... There's going to be one set of people who will throw their hands up in the air and say, 'Oh my God, not this guy. Please, anybody but him.' And a second group will say, 'This is just what these films need, a harder edge.”

Pretty much spot on there, James.

Marmite? Never heard of it so, I looked it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite Perhaps, [Kryptonite:Superman] instead of [Marmite:Craig's Bond], in regards to comparison effect :lol:

You never heard of Marmite, bj? Maybe they don't sell it over in the US.

It's a love it or hate it kind of thing - hence the Craig comparison.

They do, but only in British shops, and places like World Market (a chain of supermarkets specialising in imported international goods).

Flashbacks of a Fool. I would be interested in checking it out but there's no release date for the US.

Stocks, do you look forward to watching all Daniel Craig's films, seeing as you enjoyed his portrayal as Bond?

Not all, but Flashbacks and Defiance have gotten me more interested in seeing them than last year's Golden Compass and The Invasion.

But I wouldn't use their box office takes against Craig's tenure as Bond. :wink:

Looks like another flaming gay musical to me. Married Life looks interesting, but it was only limited release. It seems Craig and Brosnan are the only active actors working today. I would love to see Dalton and Connery in film again though.

Dalton's The Rocketeer looks similar to Downey's Iron Man film due out shortly. Connery wanted big bucks to do Indy's Crystal Skull, and was turned down. Brosnan's Mama Mia might do well.

Dalton's last film wasn't that long ago. Did you see Hot Fuzz?

Yes I did. But he doesn't have anything planned after that which is why I would love to see him in film again.
