Well that picture Chris posted is pretty bad.

In the Casino Royale book (the first Bond novel) a character describes Bond, who was then aged in his thirties, as looking like American singer Hoagy Carmichael. This Hoagy on the left, Craig on the right:



I kinda see it. :dunno:

 

layer cake was tight

 

I totally agree. Bond can't be blonde - blue eyed.. he's gotta look like me to be bond

Contract ran out? And he has been running as bond for awhile..

I agree.. but a special part of all bond movies has been bond's way of attracting women.. if he cant pull off the suave bond, he wont be a good bond.


eh.. if I were a girl, id say his chest were too hairy...

 

They should have picked Rowan Atkinson, him in a serious role would be something to watch. :chuckles:

 

Am I the only one that thinks the best Bond was Roger Moore??
But thats before all you young bucks were a gleam in your parents eye.

Did I say that right??

 

the pen is mightier!

 

Penis mightier!

 

Yeah you said it right but Moore was too old when he started as Bond and way too old by the time he got done. He wasn't even supposed to be around for Octopussy or View To A Kill--the producers were trying to get Dalton to sign on but he didn't want to do it yet.

I do find the Moore movies entertaining, but that's also when the franchise hit the height of its cheezyness. All but the first couple Connery movies were kinda cheezy too, but the Moore ones went too far over the top.

Personally I like the Dalton movies a bunch but they don't quite have modern production values. The Brosnan ones are okay but I'd say Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are the better two of his run. The World Is Not Enough is just kinda lame and Die Another Day was way too over the top with the CGI and wannabe stylish editing and directing techniques.

I really want to see Casino Royale be a smarter, tougher Bond without so many cheezy gimmicks and huge set pieces. And since Q and his gadgets aren't in the book that should hopefully be the case.
