The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

BJ is right they should not of cast her if her voice is not right.

[Thunderpussy]

Another Piece of miscasting, after DC.

[bjmdds]

Whoever is calling the casting shots for Bond 21-23 is out of HER mind I want to send Ale and MP into Sony and get the ball rolling on cleaning house at Eon and recast the entire film for Bond 24. FBF, you must undo the global Imperious curse on the minions.

I saw Haywire and loved it, M Fassbender with Dark hair would be a brilliant Bond.

Hell, NO. I have nothing against him as an actor but I have everything against casting ANOTHER actor who doesn't have the right face, hair or attitude as Bond. No and no. I've seen him with his real hair, the man is seriously unattractive for me. Definitely a good actor, but not James Bond material. And he's another one who isn't nearly classy enough to be Bond, I'm sorry. Very nice chap and all, good actor, but not Bond.

LOL BJ, it really is the billion dollar question... I can see why Babs does it and Pascal had a contract with him the minute Babs hired him, but WHY are others (who are straight and MEN) so stupid as to fall for it?? They must have seen by now that he clearly isn't a box office draw and that he can't exactly carry a movie as leading man. Make him be the CHARACTER ACTOR that he is. HE is not a leading man, never has been, never will be. It's not a difficult concept to grasp what the hell? What are they thinking!

http://www.youtube.com/user/NBC?v=ngpjq ... 6&kw=smash Is everyone ready for Mcphee-ver, as she proves she was heads above her Idol competition? http://www.youtube.com/user/NBC?v=ngpjq ... UaIP8cAek4 Idol's ratings are WAY down this year too Seacrust-----------OUT

I sure am VERY ready for McPhee-ver I have watched the pilot a half dozen times and EVERY time it seems better. They're doing a superb job with the show and I really hope it gets the ratings it deserves. Idol had a major downfall in ratings in its debut BUT it's too soon to tell...if they have good contestants it might go up again. I still think that after the great debut last season, The Voice is going to be the one to watch. I see more and more people saying they'll watch that and not Idol. It's not aimed at the same kind of public as the approach and type of music is very different, but it's still a talent show about music so close enough I guess for some to switch.

OMG the Naomi Harris stuff again. Dude, I don't need to be told she needs to change her voice, I've heard her in Pirates of the Caribbean like the rest of the world, she doesn't exactly have an alluring, sexy voice. And since when does Moneypenny have a husky voice??? Besides, we have had zero confirmation that she plays Moneypenny. Press conference says she'll play a field agent and I'll stick with that until I see evidence of the contrary. So far she was clearly being on the field with Bond in those photos so the field agent story holds. We'll see. I can't even see her as a Bond girl, let alone Moneypenny. These people are out of their freaking minds. Do they, I don't know, drink 24/7 to come up with such ideas??

[bjmdds]

Greeny and MGW think Mendes is the right director for this? Clueless. The Hunt For Red October will be more exciting than a Mendes Bond film.

She is not a very good Bond girl. As for feminist version of one I can name several from the last 20 years. I don't think the last 2 movies are good example of "new model Bond girls". Halle Berry was a good one. The Chinese agent in TND, Sophie Marceau in TWINE, GE had some great Bond Girls, TLK had an incredible Bond Girl, TLD um OK some might say she was too weak to be an icon but she was cute.

Fessbender is fun in First Class mainly because he is not Bond and he knows it but he also know how to play it. A Better Bond than Craig but not up to Connery, Brosnan or Layzenby, or Dalton.

Let's see what Pam Bouvier and Xenia Onatopp will have to say to this one... and all while being WAY more beautiful and WAY classier than her. A feminist version of a Bond girl, these people clearly have never watched a Bond movie in their life. And I'd also like to add that Ursula Andress in Dr No wasn't exactly a poor girl who didn't know what to do either. She was a highly scholared, competent person. I hate the cliché these people who have never watched Bond movies closely have. And if they want to be feminist? STOP PICKING SOMEONE WHO IS 15 to 20 years old YOUNGER than Daniel Craig as the Bond girl!! French girl could be his freaking daughter and she plays a Bond girl!!! Gemma Arterton said she felt he was her dad. NO WONDER! Why doesn't anyone pay attention to THIS instead? Bond girls before were always age appropriate for the leading man. Or in the majority of cases, anyway. Now? No way.

I like Fassbender-now-I've changed my mind about him-but not right for Bond.Sorry,

[oscartheman]

Fassbender is not Bond,he is a batter actor and classier guy than the toad ruining the 50th anniversary now.Would not mind a spin off series staring him but the main role should go to a Cavill or another young man with the right looks and charm.

[katied]

I dunno why Fassbender is such a fanboys' favorite.Great actor but will never be Bond.

I always thought it was a bit ropey, but it's nice to see the rumour officially denied. Though I'm sure it won't stop lazy journalists recycling months-old stories instead of, you know, doing some research.

[bjmdds]

http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a ... -role.html So now we know Berenice's character is named "Severine".

[bjmdds]

http://i1.cdnds.net/12/01/618x521/movie ... ures_3.jpg You think this bearded artsy director knows what a Bond film film should look like? Highly unlikely.

[bjmdds]

http://i1.cdnds.net/12/01/618x768/movie ... ures_2.jpg You wonder why Eon wants M out already?

[bjmdds]

http://truthdive.com/2012/01/23/James-B ... cenes.html Here is more negative publicity for Bond 23. These people claim Eon is CLUELESS about correct customs and they have offended them deeply. Morons surely have run amuck in the Eon castle with Mendes now the puppet of his masters.

[bjmdds]

"But in the upcoming James Bond movie Skyfall, 007 will be seen much closer to home, after producers were 'forced 'to cut budgets on the film." The timing of this statement coincides with the poor box office for DC's Tattoo film. I truly believe that Sony/MGM changed their minds after seeing not one, not two, but three Cr-egg films tank in the USA in 2011. Since when do Bond films lower the money they plan on spending once they have already started filming? FBF, this sounds like the eradication of the evil virus has begun. MGW should be fired for making his famous Cr-egg doing five more Bond films comment. No need for Steven, Jerry, or the Carrot

[bjmdds]

http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image ... 352068.jpg There is no chemistry here. The two women overpower DC. Denise Richards type role again I think.

That was a smart move on Naomi's part, to flat out shut down the rumors. Well done . Clearly she knows better than EON. At least she knows when it's necessary to just make people shut up about ridiculous gossip that would also damage the way her character is received (don't think many would have been happy with her as Moneypenny seen as she really doesn't look like Moneypenny at all). And YES, Moneypenny can come back when Henry is Bond. Rachel McAdams can play her!

So now we know Berenice's character is named "Severine".

With all the French names out there, THIS is what they came up with!? Might as well have called her "Brunette" or something as a homage to the dark spirit of the movie (Severine is a horrible name and it does derive from the word "severe". Seriously?!)
