Quantum Floral Arrangements: "We Have Petals Everywhere"
Here we have it. The final Biggest Fan category for the #2 best Bond, Daniel Craig! I love him to death, but there have to be some who have gone the whole nine and made shrines of him right? @Germanlady for sure, but like all these categories, if you feel you are worthy let your presence be known, and why you should be considered.

Duly noted Brady! I think it's because there are shadowed fans, and by that I mean that they haven't outwardly expressed there support for Craig in the likes of DC for Roger, you for Connery, me for Moore and Brosnan, etc.
Thought you were a Dalton man, @DoubleOhhSeven! Good to see we've got another nominee though, I thought this part of the awards were going down in flames quickly!
I like Dalton very much and before CR he was my guy. But I prefer Craig's interpretation as I view it as the perfect blend of Connery and Dalton. With just a pinch of Lazenby.
And a hint of Brosnan perhaps? Haha, just kidding, I know you'd cut me down before I said that!
No cutting if you nominate me. ;)
Thanks for mentioning @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7

..and thanks for your wonderful posts. Takes away my obligation to dwell on his amazing talent and his great personality. ;)
Oh and I have EVERY film he ever made including the very early ones and TV thingies he did. Now beat that...*makes a feisty face*
I've been Bond fan since I was a child when my friend's dad showed us an old VHS of MR. The rest was history and I was hooked. This was during the Brosnan era and as much as I loved all the older films, the newer ones being released during the 90s simply weren't clicking with me. I liked GE but every film after was a bigger letdown than the previous. But that wasn't going to damper my spirits for the big 40th anniversary and DAD. I went in with modest hopes thinking it doesn't need to be great but aslong as it's better than TWINE I'll be happy. Than I saw DAD. For the first time in my life I watched a Bond film for the first time and didn't feel pumped. I couldn't believe it but I thought to myself if they keep making them like this than I don't want anymore Bond films because there not living up to the high standards the series set. Or maybe it was me. Had I outgrown Bond? Was it time to move on? Either way I felt as if the good days were behind me. Afterall I’d seen all the good Bond films multiple times already. I was at home in 2005 watching Dr. No on AMC with this trivia box below. During the Crab Key dinner scene it listed the actors to have played Bond. It listed them and then changed to "...and just recently Bristish actor Daniel Craig had been cast as the 6th actor to play James Bond". Yep. I found out while watching the very first Bond film. I was already familiar with Craig's work and for the first time in a long while I was excited about the new Bond film. Leading up to CR I knew all the Craig-haters were eat their words once they saw the man in action. But even my expectations were exceeded.
As I sat in a cinema to watch CR on it's opening weekend, I can honestly say I was never more excited to about to watch a movie. Nothing else has come close since. As the film screened from beginning to end I sat in my seat and was a kid sitting on my couch watching the old VHSs again. My favorite character in all of movies was back. Better than ever. That’s why I love Craig as Bond. Not only because he's fantastic in the part but he saved James Bond from mediocrity and made the character mean something again.
In my humble opinion ofcourse. ;)
Until DC disowns those blue-snuggies though, don't anyone even think about nominating me. [-(
I am a Daltonator but have been a Craig fan since him playing the Jesuit spy in 'Elizabeth' and Geordie in 'Our Friends in the North'
I dont think anyone has had the charisma of Craig since Connery. When he walks through a crowd heads turn, when he fixes you with those steely blue eyes you turn to jelly and when he turns on the charm grown men go weak at the knees.
It was a casting which rescued the series which was beginning to lose its credibility and go down the sloppy route. But Craig took it by the scruff of the neck, shook it, and gave it back its dignity.
The factor that the actor is so proffessional has raised everyones game. The producers now know they have to keep him happy with the film rather then serve him any old rubbish.
Let Brosnan podders shake with fear. The man is a god.
Although, Germanlady should win. She's the torch carrier for all things related to Craig.
Consider yourself nominated.
May i know what DC did for you ?
Cheers
Germanlady goes on and on about Skyfall like it's the end all and be all, and obviously favors Craig in some capacity so It makes sense (for me) to nominate her/him for this particular accolade
Let's just say @marketto has the coolest girlfriend ever.
i do? I don't think, I am going ON and ON about SF and certainly not in the desperate way, you say. Just to make this clear.
I fell in love with his portrayal of bond after I saw CR for the 1st time , to this day I have been defending him to one of my best friends who thinks Brosnan is the man. All though I feel quantum is a bit of a letdown of a bond movie I think DC is the shining light and carries the film. He's deffinatly got the swagger and charm that bond should have and it comes across as if he's relishing the role. I beleve he is the denifinitive bond!
He's my favourite bond in my favourite bond movie CR and he gets to drive my favourite bond car (DBS) .
I also try and look like him as I have the short hairstyle and aviator sunglasses and I'm after one of those Harrington jackets he wears in QoS haha.
Also he supports liverpool fc which my user name try's to allude to which endears him even more as bond and lfc are very close to my heart and as my girlfriend said to me the other day when he came on BBC news "aww he's your idol babe" :D haha lot of love for DC.
or these....
my f/book profile pic..... ;-)
What DC stuff do I own? Well I own a very well worn copy of Layer Cake. It's the song that really makes it for me (the hot bedroom scene with Sienna Miller). OK and DC, natch. ;)
Pretty impressive, Commander :D But is that good enough to beat me to it?
Who has 4 Tix from A Steady Rain, I ask? ;)) - together with the memories...
But its nice to be challenged. The more DC fans the better.
Ooh, the one with the famous moustache.... I'm not saying that's a knockout blow Germanlady, but it's a solid left hook.... ;-)
