It less than 11 months to DC and Oh-bama's last days as Bond and POTUS. Time sure flies when you are miserable about something, doesn't it? It is now 6 years that DC has been shoved down our collective throats by the vegetable in chief at Eon.

Well i can see Obama going, not sure about Cregg, i mean film will have to be a critical and commercial disaster for that to happen..........anyway world is due to end next December anyway! .............actually being serious now 2012 is gonna be an awful year for the world.

I don't think we'll ever see another roger Moore the world moves to fast for one actor to stay in the role for more than 4 movie maybe 3, Pierce wanted to go for 5 but they wouldn't let him no doubt it woudl have been a success. I think everything being the same CR with pierce would be a bigger hit.

I don't like the looks of 2012 from here we could be in another depression / recession.

Listened to a Roger Moore interview on a Radio station today........."he said it was right for Britain to stand its ground against Europe, he also said the reason for the banking crisis in Britain was because 'Sean Connery' had withdrawn all his money"

..Just get craig out of the bloody role already..the world's depressing enough as it is, reality tv rules eveything, tv's not worth watching anymore, a ever decreasing economy and death is all we hear most of the time now and this d**n stupid bloody uber realistic bond isn't helping, throw his spartan ass too the curb and bring back the reason I loved this series in the first place, bring back the man who can not the man who can't and by that I mean 007 not double 00 substitute.

What people need now is fun and escapism and bond used to have that in spades with some realism thrown in, now most things today have to be uber realistic and too violent to the point it's not watchable to Me, that's why I bloody love the ironman films they're what bond used to be and that's real escapism to Me, give Me awesome henchman like jaws, oddjob, and villains like blofelt, oo6 (Sean bean), evil femme fetales (over elvis presley and a guy who bleeds through one eye as if he was a reject from a bad halloween film, how the hell did a film all about a cardgame and bond getting hit in his manhood become so popular?, none of the other stuff happened in the real casino royale which is probably why Cubby Brocolli did doctor no in the first place).

Give Me underground lairs in volcanoes, ninjas, kung fu, great gadgets, hot women, flesh eating piranas these things were memorable, what's memorable about a guy who has about as much charisma as mr bean, and arrogance as vinny jones, anyone can play a thug, but only people with real talent can play bond.

Even though goldeneye was 15 or so years ago that film still feels brand new and one of the best bond films in decades, this was bond a man we didn't want to know too much about and someone that still looked cool, got the women, beat the villains and always got some kick out of it, the guy that guys like Me admired as a kid and adult but still got jealous of because we wanted to be that person, do we really need another film where bond isn't bond yet and has more layers then an onion and has to be angsty about everything, what happened to the guy who loved and lost, bond got on with it he knew the risks so cut this beep out, pull that stick out of this bonds ass and make him happy for a d**n change, the films are now more humourless then gavin and stacy and almost getting as annoying as justin bieber.

Daniel clayg in bond..clay bond: license to mould .

Cregg in goldfinger: do you expect me to talk (mumbles and pouts)
goldfinger: no mister clay I expect you to....mould

That clay Craig is frightening. Looks like a Ray Harryhausen monster.

DC's Tattoo film getting plenty of tv ad time here.

DC's Tattoo film getting plenty of tv ad time here.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo got a very good review in Variety. Says Craig "tamps down his leading man charisma."

Not so sure that is high praise. I don't think they'd say this about Will Smith. I expect the movie will be well like and make make some money but I am kind of rooting for Noomi Rapace and her new movie because of the snobbish Hollywood remake attitude. Although this movie looks like it could make Rooney Mara's career.

[bjmdds]

DC plays BLOMKVIST. That name suits him. It sounds latin for a 'disturbed turnip'. He will bring down the film with his inane portrayal.

[katied]

I might see GWTD..I'd go to a matinee so I wouldn't have to waste *too* much money on it.

[Omega]

It not my kind of movie. CvA was but...There is a new edit of CvA to try to save it. I don't think people cared after it wasn't comedy, RDJ could have pulled it off, Will Smith, Nathan Fillion too.

[FormerBondFan]

Pierce's Bag of Bones isn't rated very well, but at least it topped the Sunday cable.

Director Sam Mendes will pay homage to the Indiana Jones rope bridge battles. 007 will have it out with a villain on a rickety affair like in Temple Of Doom. - The Sun

[bjmdds]

"Craig is having more input on his third Bond adventure, 'Skyfall', which included getting to pick Sam Mendes as the director."

Oh look! There's a slippery slope!
