With Brosnan his casting was more than just accepted, it was applauded. People had wanted him for the part since Moore left. He had lots of pressure because he had to live up to peoples high expectations and if he wasn't popular or any good it could've meant the end of the series.
Exactly my point.
If you think that fair enough but then what are you doing in this thread anyway?
Theres no need to get aggressive.
I don't see any aggression in his post, I'm just curious as to why someone would enter an appreciation thread to not appreciate the actor in question. Seems counter-intuitive.
I can enter any thread I want.
Go ahead. I'll wait.
Exactly. It's a perfectly good question and I'm not being aggressive at all.
But what we're asking is why do you want to?
I am entitled to enter any thread and post what I like without harassment. If you dont like what I post - block me.
You have to learn to take criticism of Pierce.
I've taken criticism of Pierce in the past. I don't think all four of his films are perfect, because no film out there is. It's just the fact that it's an appreciation thread, and you've come to do the opposite. It's like me entering Twilight fan forums and trashing the films; what's the point?
But again, you're entitled to do what you will. Not sure why you keep preaching that, as I haven't once stated you aren't allowed, nor have I even alluded to the fact, but you seem to be defensive about it, so please, carry on.
I'm fine with criticism of Pierce but this thread was set up specifically for appreciation of him. Go slag him off in one of the many other threads on this site about his Bond films.
And you still haven't actually answered us. Why have you decided to enter a Brosnan appreciation thread if you don't like him? And "I can do what I like!" isn't an answer.
You've come in here specifically to be a shit stirrer and when people call you out in it you've started complaining about us being "harassing" you.
You're the one having a tantrum. All we did was ask you a question.
yeah right. You jump on anyone who criticses Pierce. Notorious for it.
It's not so much "we" as it is a singular person. I asked a fair question, and received a snobby reply.
But I don't believe so. I think he is the weakest Bond by a long long margin
The argument "because I am entitled too" is a valid argument. Whats the alternative? One sanctioned point of view? Censorship? Only Pierce love allowed?
Some people on these boards obviously prefer that.
I know and I have been as guilty as anyone into getting involved when I really should know better. Perhaps in these instances it's best to bite our tongues and ignore.
Nope. I'm fine with people like @SirHenryLeeChaChing, @Samuel001, etc. People who don't like Brosnan but don't act like twats about it, doing things like slagging him off in appreciation threads.
Again, that's fine. But if you think that then this isn't the thread for you. Read the opening post. Do you not understand the concept of an appreciation thread?
There are plenty of other threads on this site where you can talk about Brosnans films and say if you don't like them.
Please do.
Just answer there questions. All they asked is why you bash Brosnan in an Appreciation thread. Your pretty much derailing the thread at this point. You don't like Brosnan, good for you.
LOL thanks. I haven't seen the film either but I thought it applied to this situation. =))
I think now we should just take @WillGalore's advice and ignore him.
Who else is looking forward to 'November Man'?
My only worry is that it will be an incredibly limited release and I won't get to see it, unless I look for a terrible quality of it online or wait for it on DVD/blu-ray. He's looking pretty badass in this, I can't wait to see it.
Ok, so I'm away from these boards for nearly a year, and jump back in where I left off !
Dude, where do you get off? This is an appreciation thread dumb ass!
Can't wait for November Man, older, more experienced Brozzer!!
Welcome back, Shoreline. :)
I gave up on that bicker fest. I wasn't getting an answer to some fair questions, so I stopped replying to him.
After the crap Craig got from fans & media, he was really free from expectations (which he exceeded in spades anyway).
