I don't know if any of our regular posters on this thread have actually seen the original UNCLE ...
If I was just getting into U.N.C.L.E why would I watch the newer (likely worse) film when I can see the original show? It wouldn't make sense to do otherwise. It is no secret that newer adaptions are often worse than the original, and for a whole host of reasons. Plus, newer films/shows don't interest me as much as the oldies and goodies. Modern filmmaking relies too much on retelling old stories instead of *gasp* doing something original.
For those of you not familiar with the new U.N.C.L.E. movie, here is a Facebook site that is growing by the day. Cavill plays Napoleon Solo (Named by Ian Fleming himself back when he was helping to create the TV series) and Hammer plays his partner, the mysterious Russian agent, Illya Kuryakin. The spy film takes place in the 60's and carries on the style of the Bond films of that era.

I am fine, thanks. Not much to say around here for me. ;) Hope you are well.
@Sandy thanks for posting that video of Gemma. I certainly prefer her as a redhead (but that's my fav. hair colour anyway) but she certainly knows how to behave as Betty. She's quite the actress, and it seems like she had lots of fun making the video.
Oh yeah he beat out Daniel Craig so keep an eye on the newest (re-imagined) secret agent on the block, Napoleon Solo.

4everbonded,
Glad to hear you were an U.N.C.L.E. fan back in the day. Hope to see you over at the "Man from UNCLE" thread.
My ex gf was more of a Jeremy Northam fan in that series though..

Cavill honestly doesn't do anything for me, but here's to hoping he has some real charisma playing Solo.
No, I haven't seen The Tudors, @CommanderRoss, even though I can rent it here; it doesn't appeal to me, even though I like history. It looks like a period piece soap opera. Be nice if I were wrong.
And as faithful to one partner as a rabbit? But he actually acts this out, not just fantasize about it (string of sexual conquests)
I still like his looks. But I wouldn't have thought he had that much going for him.
@CommanderRoss I'm with @4EverBonded, Cavill does nothing for me. Just another pretty Hollywood boy.
If I were you I'd try the first few episodes.
and yes, you know me... ;-) How's Dan?
The hubby is great. He's been seeing all the movies with me, some more reluctantly than others. :P
Well in that case I can only hope your Bondathon will have the same effect on him as it has on you ;-)
Great to have you back! And yes, I guess they're right, those co-workers of you. That's what makes places like this tick: people who are a bit nuts.
Personally, I'd go for the cashews and Pistacho's...
