Shrugs no one is perfect and yes that is the guy I want
If they could just announce that Rory has been binned as well I'd be so happy they could cast Elba and I wouldn't even mind.
Are stone cold crazy WizardOffice ????
I don't want no idris elbow as Bond.
Rory IS overrated that's for sure. He needs a reboot..... :))
And Bell could say "You've caught me with more than my hands up."
OK, I'm here to clarify that statement of Mirror which was quoted by one of the members: “Poldark star Aidan Turner is cashing in on his newfound fame by charging fans £25 to take a picture with him” (Meanwhile Turner is charging $25 per autograph. I'm not one to pass judgment on an actor I haven't seen in anything, but he comes off as a prick if true. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/aidan-turner-cashes-poldark-fame-7985607).
So Turner is not charging that money, the organizers of London Comic Con are doing so, and this is a common practice on such events throughout the world. There are a lot of other actors on this Comic Con (for example the stuff of Big Bang Theory, Jessie Eisenberg) and photos and autographs of many of them cost much more.
There were much talks about “charisma”, “screen presence”, etc. on this forum, and although I’m not going to convince anyone here of something, I’d like to tell some facts well known among admirers of AT’s talent: Peter Jackson saw Turner in “Being Human”, had a sort of man crush and invited him in “Hobbit” because of his charisma, screen presence and good looks; later, because of charisma, screen presence and good looks, he was invited in “Poldark” without preliminary casting.
And since I'm here, I want to express my appreciation of sir Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig, who are not only the best Bonds (imho, of course), but also the incredible actors and true, outstanding men, which have some sort of internal manhood, masculinity, courage… I don’t know how this could be expressed, it's hard to put into words, but Aidan Turner indee[img][/img]d has this sort of quality into himself too. And now I think I’ll go and add my voice to AT in Bond poll here (can it even affect anything?).
Thank you for attention.
On a seperate note ........ I still have a small supply of My autographed
Photos ( a tasteful Nude, Me with a bunch of balloons ) for only £10
a pop. ;)
..and we don't want any shadow cast over him, no would we? ;)
But in the end, I recognize another crazy fan, if I see one. Christina seems the Turner equivalent to my DC fangirl. But one thing, you should realize - as much as we might try to defend our men, its not really changing a thing. People believe, what they want and more often then not, its the negative, they feel compelled to believe. IF your man Turner gets a chance at Bond, he will find that out for sure and else. Its not a candy shop, this whole Bond universe. Its a crazy ride with lots of ups, but certainly lots of downs as well.
at events it was the done thing that the first autograph was free, the rest were
charged for as they'd most likely end up on ebay ?
I thought many actors charge for their autographs. Well, not when they're at premiers but at other places they charge. Helps pay the rent!
Mr Turner does look a lot different with a beard. Looks like he's doing a Brian Blessed impression. ;))
Not trying to reinvent the wheel over here.
Brilliant :))
Its ok somehow, if you are really collecting them, but otherwise? What do I do with such a thing of my favourite whatever? It doesn't mean a thing to him/her and that is, why its so uninteresting to me. A selfie is much better :D
Tastier than paper, probably.
Yeah, people collect all sorts of weird things... But I suppose most people asking for autographs aren't collectors, but either sell them (amazingly there are people willing to pay), or are fans and for some mysterious reason give value to their scribble. Indeed, what does one do with it? I wouldn't ask for a pic, either, but I can sort of understand why many fans would consider that nice.
As for either meaning anything to the famous person... that's an interesting point. In some ways obviously they don't, but it still takes a bit of effort and time - not much a single one, but they get requests from tons of people, so... all put together it's potentially quite a bit of time and effort. It means something in that some famous folks are very generous with autographs and pics, and some are not.
Yes, Bond is little bit like a soap opera at the moment. Each few days there is a new revelation.
No, the studio (or studios) pay for everything.
The next Bond is not who you expect according to Sam Mendes

I still think it was to throw us off the scent. We're getting too close.
Michael Bay and Danny DeVito confirmed for director and new Bond actor, respectively.
