The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Ah, that 2005 press conference on the Thames.

Perfectly stated 007.

[The Sweeney]

He looks a lot less freaked out than Daniel Craig did

But he still has to wear a life-jacket though, see. Health and safety always comes first, even for apes.

[bjmdds]

Nice one Sweeney, but you can see their is a different facial expression with the chimp.

[Omega]

This will cheer everyone up:

The chip is much calmer

[bjmdds]

Correct. I bet he did not utter such trash talk as the new Bond did upon getting off the boat. BBC-A and G4 channels running Connery/Brosnan Bond marathons here today. Now THAT'S entertainment!

[Mazer Rackham]

Here we have young Craig circa 1996 10 years before the Botoxtm made his pout permanent. Ever wonder how much makeup and special filters are used to keep Craig's "youthful" vigor up well here you go.

[bjmdds]

He looks like Dwight Frye there and would be a PERFECT Renfield in Dracula. Sign him up. See, there is something to relate him to properly.

Sadly, Christopher Eccleston has aged a lot better than DC has(though Eccleston is playing John Lennon..and he's an interesting looking John Lennon. )

I think there is a Beatles film due out in October this year in the USA which bombed in the UK. I was at the Beatles Fest this past weekend in New Jersey and the MC said to check it out here. Anyone see it in the UK? Spenser Davis performed with Liverpool, the Beatles cover band, at the fest. Plenty were there from the UK.

I think Nowhere Boy is the movie you're thinking of. Coincidentally, the director is a good friend of Daniel Craig's.

[bjmdds]

That's the film. A friend of DC? Anyone in the UK see it? They showed a 3 minute clip of it at the fest.

Forget Kevin Bacon..seems like Daniel Craig is connectable to most of the actors currently working in the UK by only a few degrees!

[Kristatos]

That's the film. A friend of DC?

A friend of DC who obviously didn't feel the need to miscast him in a role just for the sake of using him in her movie. Now there's a novel concept.

Babs could learn well from DC's friend!

What's everyones feeling on Rachel Weisz taking the role as a the villain in Bond 23? As speculated by some sites.
Or the Lady GaGa rumour that the British tabloid The Sun ran a a day or two ago?

Rachel Weisz I could handle. She's a good actress who could actually bring something to a film.
Though Gaga is just this seasons Amy Winehouse in my opinion. Can't stand it.

[katied]

I so agree about GaGa basically being a flavor of the month. I don't think she has the staying power of say, Madonna(let's hope GaGa doesn't start dabbling in Kabbalah ).

Weisz is an OK actress. I think if they are going to go somewhere interesting with it and not having it be a rehash of something they've done before, then great.

[JackWade CIA]

Rachel Weisz is decent but not a powerhouse. She wouldn't be a bad choice a mixed as I am about Quantum I don't if know a Ernstna Stacy Blofeld is a sound idea.

I wonder if she's being lined up to play Nena Blofeld?
Whilst the Spectre storyline is still a grey area, I wonder if the Gardner creation of Blofelds daughter is allowed to be incorporated?
Could be an interesting twist to the Blofeld saga if it was.

[katied]

IIRC they don't have the rights to any of those books..doesn't mean they couldn't do it though..however,I think a legal battle thing is the *last* thing EON wants right now.

[The Sweeney]

Welcome back Nash!

I think the GaGa rumour is just what it is.....a rumour!
