'BJ' you obviously like the Bond films....but is 'Craig' the be all and end all to you being unable to enjoy the future Bonds
starring him?
Does your passion for previous Bonds keeps you interested in the franchise?

It's quite obvious. BJ has been throwing around his Craig hating since day one and never once expressed hope out of him because he believes there aren't any. He predicted CR wouldn't pass $50 million and all sorts of stuff and I can see that because it was successful it fueled his hate for Craig while at the same time made him even more frustrated at the whole situation because he was extremely certain about Craig and his film being an utter failure in all aspects. At least that's how he's been coming off.

I am VERY interested in 20 of the first 21 films. Craig ruins the entire experience for me. The sooner he leaves, this website will cease to be required and we can all go back to being united in one common purpose.

'BJ'..................out of curiosity........have you ever expressed your views to 'EON'.

I predicted CR would do $50 million the first 4 weeks in the USA, and under $100 million in it's total USA run. I was off $67 million. Yet, TBM should easily do $50 million opening weekend in the USA, given the explosive revenues so far this year with other films. Anything less, and Craig is toast as Bond IMO. TBM should equal CR internationally which would be a slight decrease given ticket prices have risen over the past 2 years. Bottom line is Craig is offensive to the psyche of many long time Bond fans.

I called their California office when Craig was selected and emailed them as well. They could care less about any anti-Craig comments. The ONLY thing that matters is the box office revenue. When the world sees Craig as many here do, he will be toast. If the world agrees with those of the mindset of That Place That Cannot Be Named, this farce will continue.

Well.........your right in that the film world is all down to money?
From your point of view........for Craig to be dismissed from the Bond role, would require a massive BO flop.......
but even if the film was rubbish, the huge Bond fan base would guarantee a fair BO anyway!!
Mind you i'am sure when EON worked out the budget for QOS, they took into account all the financial revenues
they could collect for the film........and took into account if there would be a drop from the revenues gained from CR.
A $230 million budget means $460 million worldwide just to cover costs, excluding promotional and advertising costs;however, product placement helps them tremendously with covering their ridiculous budget for TBM. Have any products been mentioned outside of the cars yet? How's Federer doing in Wimbledon?

Not that i know of!!.............speak to you soon, when i've seen the trailer for QOS.

I'm sure EON are well aware of how a LOT of Bond die-hards feel about Daniel Craig-it's not a minority.Do they care?No.They would rather respect the wishes of the sort of Bond fan that posts at a place like The Place That Can't Be Named.
Favorite Bond Movie: Octopussy From Russia With Love The Living Daylights On Her Majestys Secret Service Doctor No .... Ah heck all of them

Darn straight you troll.
EON don't care about people like you k8'd. You're hardly even a fan as far as I can see. Flip flopping all over the place.
Typical katied: I love Craig, I hate Craig. I hate Craig to fit into a new forum, yet on my blog I love him.
Pathetic.

It's not a bad thing to NOT love everything in a certain movie genre.Only fanboys like everything and hold it over other people to make themselves seem like they're superior.And they get jobs as moderators at messageboards dedicated to said fandoms and then do a cr*ap job at it

Trolling trolling trolling, Katied is a trolling, gonna be flip flopping to the other side.
Katied, you're great.
ApparentlyI'm evil because I don't toe the "loving EON/Daniel Craig/every James Bond film/wanting Amy Crackhouse to do the theme" line? *shrug*
What amazes me are the fans who love every aspect of the Bond films and can't stand any sort of criticism of the Bond films.Talk about a lack of prioritites

I'm not sure you're evil. You are a very annoying troll though.
A pain in the a$$.
Maybe you are evil. You seem to only like causing trouble and whine and moan when you don't get your own way.
Thank god you're not a mod.

It takes two to tango. You and stocks seem to be very good at feeding the troll.
