The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[The Sweeney]

You forgot to add, she'll repeat herself often in a vain attempt to bait the pro-Craigs. Posting a similar style post over and over. Some may call it trolling.

Can you believe she actually had the nerve to PM me the other day and told me to stop trolling, after I was trying to get her to respond to a comment in some debate we were having.

I couldn't believe what I read...this coming from Queen Troller herself, the Master of Trolls.

Judging from BJ's report,sounds like a Steady Pain may have a short run.I'm not surprised. What's even more amazing to me is that they optioned the movie rights.Now *there* is a hit movie not about to happen

When has Eon EVER touted ANY other Bond actor outside of Bond like they are doing with Craig?

They're firm believers in nepotism!

I don't recall them touting any actor outside of Bond, but each had their own quirky, special relationship with EON at the time.

Connery - he hated EON, thinking they were short-changing him. However, they did all they could to lure him back after OHMSS, a massive fee, plus money going to his beloved Scotland.

Moore - he hung around waaay past his prime with Bond. They should have called it a day after MR, but Cubby still stuck faithful to his man, despite the age. FYEO, OP and AVTAK should never have been made with Moore in, IMO. It shows the blind loyalty EON had with their Bond.

Dalton - Only had a brief crack at the whip, but left on his own accord (or so we were led to believe).

Brosnan - probably had the toughest time as a long-term Bond with EON. Originally planned as Bond back in 85, then had it cruelly snatched from him. Once he finally became Bond, he was dismissed, revoked overnight after 4 films.

Craig - 2 movies in, and Babs is doing a Broadway show with her man in it. That is no big deal to anyone on planet earth except on here.

Babs' boy got first billing

Well maybe they've decided to get their moneys worth.
Granted their involvement outside of Bond has usually been sparse, but perhaps that's good business sense.
However, if you look at how many films EON made with the Bond actors during their tenure in the role things look different.
Sean Connery made five films between 1962 and 1968, then returned for DAF in 1970. That's a seven year relationship and six films.
George Lazenby as we all know made only one film. Though was offered a contract that would've seen him play Bond from 1969 till the mid eighties. I believe it was a twelve picture deal!

Roger Moore played Bond over twelve years and made seven films with EON
Timothy Dalton had a three picture contract. But due to ongoing legal issues was released from the deal after only two movies.
Pierce Brosnan also had a three picture deal, with an option for a fourth film. His contract was seen out, and the option taken to make the fourth picture. From 1994 till 2004 a period of ten years Brosnan made four Bond films with Eon.
Daniel Craig was given a four picture contract in 2005 and thus far has made two Bond films over the course of near on five years.
As he is contracted to EON, and they're also making use of him, I see no real problem with this.
Other than bj and katies somewhat unusual hatred of both parties.
Other than Connery, I don't think any of the other actors felt misused or underused by Eon.
Yet another case of clutching at straws I feel.

And Nash already pointed out yesterday that the names could have appeared alphabetically...........which you chose to ignore.

I think BJ will agree with me on this.....no Bond actor has had the sort of..closeness that Babs has had with Porn 'Stache. I mean come on..casting him in the move of A Steady Pain?

And...? Who cares?

No one cares, not even many of the members here, except for you and BJ. Get over it!

Too bad that Craig is probably not going to have a career after Bond..unless Babs gives him work in her vanity projects.

How do you know he won't have a career outside Bond? No other actor had a decent career during their time as Bond either, but they proved it could happen once they left Bond.

Craig's not exactly a box office success outside of Bond(that's putting it mildly!)

Was Connery, Moore, Brosnan or Dalton at the time either?

Crai's had his fair share of non- Bond bombs..that were only seen by a few Bond nerds

I'm sure Connery, Moore and Brozza had too during their time as Bond.

Are you going to add anything decent to this forum debate, or continue trolling at the highest level. You make a silly comment, I try to respond in a reasonable manner, then you choose to ignore the response and then go off on another random tangent.

I think even other members on here (except BJ) would like to give you a spray of this.....

Anyone else getting a sense of deja vu.

that last one is almost identical to this post from bj.

Sweenster, I suggest we move away from the darkside.
That leads to insanity and poorly formed so called argumets. Weak comebacks and trolling.
