What side are you on Admiral BJ?
In terms of what FBF, ST fan?
Are you on the side who wants Bond 23 to be COMPLETELY forgotten....a lot more than both CR and QOS combined?

If Craig is in it, Bond 23 should not be made. There is PLENTY of talent out there to replace him right now. The problem is, and has always been, Barbara Broccoli's fascination with Craig. Tom Cruise just signed on for MI IV. Excited? :up:

I'm more excited about MI4 than I am Bond 23. Is that wrong? :lol:

So you want to Bond 23 to be destroyed then?

Speaking of MI, the last installment made less at the box office than the first two.

I've just been watching Roger in The Saint. Why do some people suggest that Roger's Bond was not very tough? Roger's Simon Templar could beat up Craig's Bond easily. :wink:

Have you ever read The Hobbit FBF? It's one of the last books I've read recently so I'm more interested in the film now.

I was going to do a variation on it as my sig line, but couldn't get it short enough. It was going to be a riff on the famous quote from John Rogers:
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
but rewritten to make it about Bond 23 and The Hobbit. Something like:

"There are two films competing for your box office dollars in 2011. One is about a scrappy, pint-sized hero embodying the qualities of the English peasantry saving the world from evil despite his diminutive size The other, of course, involves orcs."

Johnny Depp as the Riddler? Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin? Great choices to follow Ledger?

Depp will beat Jim Carrey's riddler easy. Hoffman? Could go either way. He may be too much of a character actor.
