Agreed Hardy should be bond number 7
NOrton.
That's a brilliant idea. The finale of Bond 25 would end with Graham, as Bond, tricking Waltz's Blofeld into sitting in a booby-trapped red chair, carefully situated near a precariously hidden hole filled with spikes, which 007 flings the villain into by pulling a lever that launches the chair backward.
The same, nor am I remotely interested. A forgettable face and as far as I know I've never heard her music.
Since you went there... Clearly she is? Maybe he is and that's why she is enjoying herself...
He's just awesome in the job he has, and would be such a loss on that front if he left that job...
I'm not familiar with this James Norton chap. I've seen one movie he was in, Mr Turner, but I don't even remember him. So can't comment.
As for Hiddleston, he's too lightweight for Bond, so if he stopped seeing Trailor Shift tomorrow, it wouldn't make him a Bond candidate.
Yes, I agree. I value acting talent and range over anything else.
This Norton Guy looks like Tobey Stephens Who played Gustave Graves, so no he would be more suited as a villain
I don't mean to make this some gender bent sex issue. I was speaking in jest and frivolity, poking fun at a woman who goes through men like they're turnstiles. Yes, I'm sure Tom could very well be quite a good bed mate too, but my experience doesn't rest in that area, so I thought myself too ignorant to make judgements. I can only comment on Ms. Swift and her undoubtable beauty and legs that go on for days, truces I can't help but wave in her favor in this argument about her regardless of the fact that I'm not a big fan of her as a person or public figure. As any heterosexual man, I appreciate her as a woman of other appeals, largely found in private places where romance has her way and manipulates a pair attracted to one another with a rather delicate touch. To be rather unpoetic, I'm sure she's extremely skilled in the art of bedroom warfare, as she has been well practiced and looks more than fit for it, with assets aplenty.
All we can look forward to now is their very public break up which is no doubt on the horizon if past evidence is to be held to, after which Taylor will paint Tom as a hound dog and user, name-dropping and insulting him in a hit single on her next album. I've got a great lyric for her to use in the hate song, free of charge:
"Sticks and Hiddlestones can't break my bones, baby, I'm more than I am when I'm with you."
I wonder if I'll get an award out of courtesy when she wins the Grammy? Yeah, probably not.
Doesn't have a great face/look IMHO. But on the plus side looks somewhat rugged/masculine, so better than Hiddleston anyway.
Would you have accepted Tobey Stephens as James Bond?
Im asking this because James Norton looks a lot like him( Stephens Aka Gustave Graves)
He might have been...interesting? I wouldn't hate it.
@Tuulia, being less frivolous, I know there are many men out there who would stomach being with an attractive woman without an attractive personality simply because they enjoy the physical part of their relationship enough to deal with the other drawbacks, and vice versa. Humans being natural hedonists can put up with all kinds of pain and suffering in pursuit of pleasure, especially related to primal carnal desire as it's the foundation of our biological existence. I wouldn't count myself amongst that pack though, and for that I'm grateful, regardless of how beautiful Ms. Swift seems on the outside. And you're right, we can't fully know her insides either-weird phrasing-as the media will spin anything these days and ruin someone's image on a lie within the blink of an eye. All we can go on are what we may perceive or feel, until of course I talk to Mr. Hiddleston and get the full scoop myself. Whenever that may be.
Probably me niether hehe, but no he was more suited as the Villain and i think Norton should be a Bond villain too. He looks like he could be a very fun over the top villain in the style of Gustave Graves
It sounds perfectly reasonable - in theory - when you put it like that, yet in practice it's incomprehensible to me that a person can be physically attracted to someone whose looks they like, but whose personality they dislike. I don't get how that works. The other way around I can understand, since personality is what primarily makes people attractive to me. Any physical attributes can only add to the personality-side, but would always fail on their own. If I find a person either bland or unpleasant personality-wise then no chance of them being attractive in my eyes, regardless of how they look. I've tried to understand the concept of looks somehow being enough, but I just can't. And no, I don't even mean a lifetime together with the person, just being attracted, but it still remains such a peculiar, unfathomable and alien idea.
I didn't actually mean to even comment on her image at all, or about media's role in creating images.
I was talking about one not being able to tell who is "a good lay" (as you put it) based on how they look (media spin has nothing to do with that, surely, I imagine they haven't commented on it - at least I hope not).
And I was also talking about how since I really don't know anything about her I can't comment on her. I believe it's possible to have a pretty good idea about people one doesn't know personally, but it would require far more knowledge than a name, occupation and a couple of pics, which is basically the extent of my knowledge about Swift - never heard of her relationships or anything else before. I didn't even remember what she looks like, I needed to check.
Yes, media spins and twists and exaggerates and lies, and should never be blindly trusted. But observing people is informative, even if it happens via media (as it has to when those people are famous ones that one doesn't have a chance to know personally... be they pop stars or politicians or whatever) - interviews, not posed pics, how they interact with people, what people who know them or meet them say, etc. It all adds up little by little, even if only as impressions.
I have none of Swift, honestly - not even an impression, so that's what I meant by not being able to comment. I'm careful when forming opinions about people and even more careful when it comes to negative stuff and judging people - media and internet easily tips anyone more to the negative side rather than the positive, and depending on who is expressing their opinion every famous person is despicable in some way - very few probably actually are.
(I was talking with someone about actors, and mentioned that I wouldn't be able to say about any actor that they're a horrible person, and that it surprises me people do that all the time. She asked well what does it take, what about Mel Gibson? I said my impression is indeed negative, but I couldn't actually argue his case either way since I know too little. And I know too little since I've never cared enough to bother to find more info and pay enough attention. Therefore I won't rush into judgment. - My impression was she thought I was a bit weird. Apparently one should always be ready and eager to judge famous people at the drop of a hat. They're always guilty, anyway, eh?)
I'm currently trying to keep my neutral (well, nonexistent) opinion of Swift despite not having heard anything positive about her yet apart from compliments from men about her looks. ;)
I also know very little about Hiddleston, but at least he's an actor I've seen a bit and expect to see more. Little by little I expect to form a better idea about him, but at the moment I'm trying not to let the current brouhaha influence my view too much - which of course easily happens when one has practically no prior information.
Apologies for digressions, Brady. I didn't sleep so I just came back here and prattled on. If I start editing it'll likely just get even messier...
And he's very good. Because the radio plays are period set and stick to the books, Toby is able to play the snobbish side of Bond, which he does well.
I agree. Quite enjoyable.
Give this man a Bondian haircut, and I can see it.
Interesting option, he's not as well known as the others mentioned but has a solid TV output especially the high profile War & Peace.
Somewhere around DC's level of fame before if not more so.
Looks like the Godchild of Moore and Craig.
