I didn't like MIB2 at first, but I enjoy it more now.

Anything is preferable over Bond these days.
I havnt seen MIB4.....but of the previous 3 films i liked MI3......MI1 was a travesty that Phelps was made a villain, and MI2 was a bit too over the top, but still enjoyable.
I think he meant Men In Black which MIB2 sucks no matter how you dress it, MIB3 , man its looks like $200 million dollar train wreck. I'd like it to be good but d**n I just can't trust it on name alone.

MI:4 is probably my favorite of the Mission Impossible series ,

EA, Phelps the villain was a disgrace and taking poetic license with that ruined it's greatness, ala Cr-egg and Bond.

Wasn't there a shaving scene mention? My wife reminded me this idea came from the movie Somersby.

I think the Bond faithful will be more tuned off by whatever this Skyfall becomes (killing M, old looking Bond, Ms past being compromised)and the average movie goers used to Bourne and other rmovies will probably be OK with it.

More details have emerged about the smoldering actress. Here's what we know so far:
* Sotiropoulou says on Facebook that she knows English, French, Greek, Ancient Greek and Cypriot Greek. :shock:
* She once played the Virgin Mary. :shock:
* She's performed standup comedy and children's theater. :shock:
* Her biggest role to date has been in a horror film called Berberian Sound Studio. :shock: :shock: :shock:
* In Greece, she appeared on a show called Golden Girls. Sotiropoulou will film her scenes later this month in Istanbul. :shock: :down:

Nothing shocking about that. English and Ancient Greek are compulsory subjects in Greek schools, and French is a pretty common optional subject. They're not like us stubbornly monolingual Brits.

If Greek was the official language in the US then Greeks would not have to learn foreign languages!

I was taught Latin in school which was absouletly useless to me ( can't remember any of it, as I hated it and didn't listen )
except now I make jokes about how I went to Hogwarts. :lol:
Still ( I know this will sound very Arogant ) But English is so common around the globe these days you hardly need an extra
language and it's spreading more amd more every year.
( I'd like to point out, That I can barely get by in English as well ) :lol:

This will please Ale :mrgreen:
I bought a copy of Immortals not completely sold on the idea of it, fully prepared not to like it. While it is not a great movie I do like it better than say 300 or Clash of the Titans (the one staring another pretender to the 007 mantel not the original Titans).

One thing I came away absolutely convinced of if Henry will be a smashing Superman. What a lamentable shame he was not anointed Bond in 2005, a few scenes he reminded me of the pulp Bond drawings years before movies established the character.

OH Ale is EXTREMELY pleased by this. Especially seen as you were prepared to fully dislike the movie and while the movie may not be exceptional, it left you an EXCELLENT impression of Henry, which is all that matters! I am not easy to please when it comes to picking an actor for a role, ever. And especially not for Bond! But I do think he can do action great and he has the PERFECT looks, charisma and style to play Bond. So I'm extremely pleased that you liked him! :mrgreen:

I can't even be bothered to comment on Skyfall. My main complaint is not even how Craig plays the character, because we all know that's bad already, but how they keep on going in the wrong direction and somehow manage to MAKE IT WORSE. Bloody hell, it takes some serious incompetence and flat-out ignorance to butcher a character and a film concept the way they are doing with Bond. WHY, I ask?? It's not like this is gonna make them gain more money! This is gonna be a disaster at the box office if anything they say in the interviews responds to truth.

About Greek Bond girl.
I speak: Italian, English, French FLUENTLY (written and spoken, and one is my native language). German at school level because I only studied it for three years. And Latin goes without saying since everyone going to high-level High Schools studies it here. So Greek Bond girl? Can eat Pam Bouvier's dust :lol: :lol: Let's also add Spanish because I understand all of it and can speak without too much hassle... Italian and Spanish are very similar. I will get to studying it appropriately, I haven't had time but it's something I want to do. Still for the time being, I understand it no problem and if I speak Italian to a Spanish person and they answer to me in Spanish we can carry on a conversation no problem. So there's THAT, too, Greek Bond girl. Pam Bouvier doesn't joke when there's Bond girl competition :lol: :lol: :lol:

This was last month, but from the looks of this, Pierce won't be in the Percy Jackson sequel.

Tonia Sotiropoulou's Facebook page is very odd. There's some speculation as to whether it's really her, but a commenter said that her casting agent's webpage links to it. Hmmm.
