One thing i do agree with Ingrid Pitt is how the Bond films have been infiltrated by other movies, and it does not need to be this.

I did chuckle when i saw that picture of Patsy Palmer..........i mean come on, shes hardly old enough to of seen half the Bond movies, so how can she be an expert on the subject!!! :shock:

btw: Ingrid Pitt was great in the Hammer horror films, and Where Eagles Dare, and she had a very nice pair :D

Oh yus. When I say I had a major crush on her as a horny teenager, it would probably be more accurate to say that I had a major crush on "the twins".

Edward Fox slams Craig as Bond

London : British actor Edward Fox has slammed Bond filmmakers for their latest instalment "Casino Royale" because he thinks Daniel Craig doesn't suit the role of the famous secret agent.

Fox, who has starred in hits like "The Day of the Jackal", is unhappy with the way Craig looks and says a blonde Bond would not have been approved by its creator Ian Fleming, reports contactmusic.com.

Speaking of Craig, he said: "So ugly! He is utterly wrong for Bond. The opposite of what Fleming intended, and I knew Fleming."
I wonder what poor old Eddie Fox thinks of Craig being more popular than Brozza after 2 outings.... :lol:

^Ticked off, no doubt.Inasmuch as these people are entitled to their opinion,people like Sophie Marceau really *are* b list. Plus, she was in a movie with David Spade.A BAD movie by the looks of the poster that was posted :shock:

She was B list 5 years ago. She hasn't even done an English language film since then.

Anyways, I'm starting to think about that "brosnan" and "owen" lying bit. Maybe a couple of you are Brozzo or Clive.

Also, where did the nick name "brozzo" come from? Sounds like something the British press would do.

Ingrid actually worked on Bond - she was a "looping" artiste on OP,
she's the voice of Octopussy's Barge Mistress, "Gwendoline" (played by the late, Suzanne Jerome).
Neither the name "Frosty" nor any other name
or character in this post is meant to portray
a real company of actual person

Likewise, you guys have your standard response too on actors praising Craig (`Well they have to say that don't they, they're luvvie-duvvies together, they won't dare admit they hate Craig' etc.)

This forum is one big spin-fest, on both sides.... :lol: :cheers:

Ingrid :mrgreen: What a classy lady.
She actually has little experience with Bond as opposed to some of the other ladies of her generation.

Think he was a wee bit confused, mixed up Brozza with Craig's handle on set which is Bozo. :lol:

How about Paul Morley? I remember him on telly when Casino Royale came out being dubious and declaring that Craig looks like someone who might have met the real James Bond in a corridor once at best.

You could add the infamous Maddox. Not a big fan of the new 007 series.

Ingrid has had an interesting life.

I'm surprised at the number of famous people who have criticized the new direction.
