  • By golly you're right MajorDSmythe ! Henry Cavill is a Brit. I hadn't realised.Took it for granted he would be American. A bit young now but should be ready for the role when DC quits.
  • Obviously Sean Macguire doesn't carry much weight around here. What about an American Bond. We've had Scottish, Irish and Australian. How about that new guy who's playing the cinema Superman?
  • I do agree Michael Fassbender has a good chance of being Bond number 7 . I also wonder if ex teen idol Sean Macguire might be in the running. Facially at now 36 years he is beginning to look worldly enough for the part. Not sure about his height tho…
  • OOBeast says he loves Elvis Presley but does not know much about Frank Sinatra. Well you only have to go back as far as 1998 to connect with Frank -whereas Elvis died in 1977. Frank outlived Elvis by 21 years. Both are great singers. They are the tw…
  • I cannot agree that' A View To A Kill ' is the worst Bond movie. After all it features the gentlemanly Patrick Macnee - 'John Steed ' from that fabulous Sixties adventure show THE AVENGERS ( my all - time favourite British TV show).My favourite is s…
  • Incidentally I saw an interview with Daniel Craig the other day and he said that when playing James Bond you have to take the rough with the smooth. Press hassle has to be offset by the fact that the role is a wonderful opportunity. He said he is th…

  • I agree with everything SLYFOX had to say about OHMSS being a great movie. I am particularly interested in the video BAIN 123 has posted with a young chap giving a very erudite critique of OHMSS. Hey junior thats some 'gift of the gab' you've got th…
  • I don't know who this Fassbender actor is but if the photo is anything to go by he is the first actor in years to have the Bond look. He has a determined look like Sean Connery with a sophisticated resemblance to a 1960's Chritopher Plummer. I shall…
  • I agree with Ellis post of February 15. You are right -being a copy cat is NOT cool. As for Jetsetwilly - a certain amount of cartoon violence (no real gore) is acceptable for a wide all-ages audience but we don't want any sickening sadism or violen…
  • I like all of the first seven Bond films (1962 -1972' Dr.No' to 'Diamonds Are Forever' and I will give a passing nod to Never Say Never Again ) The first half of The Living Daylights was also quite good and Tomorrow Never Dies had someting going for…
  • I have read all Ian Flemings Bond novels and the short stories too. Only Casino Royale seems to have what you want - and we had enough of that in the Craig film - Yuk !
  • JetSetWilly says; 'I want violence,sex, blood,sadism - a dark ,nasty vision of Bond.' Tell me JetSetWilly -did you work as an interrogator at Guantanamo Bay ? Perhaps Alfred Hitchcock's 'Phsycho ' would be more your kind of thing.
  • I have lost track of my posts on this issue, I thought I had already expressed my opinion here(can't find it) . Tall,dark haired ,British actor Jonathan Cake was the obvious choice for Bond in the re-boot of 2006 Casino Royale . He seems to be the …
  • I stand by my previous comments.Only Timmer gets the point. As for Daniel Craig ,I have always thought of him as a serious and talented actor.He has appeared in many quality productions both for television and cinema. But he isn't right for Bond -a…
  • Jonathan Cake as James Bond would be as near perfect as we are going to get . I agree with MajorDSmythe about Adrian Lester (from Hustle) his kind of charm and charisma is what is needed- though I am not in favour of an ethnic Bond (this is no criti…
  • In response to TheLordFlasheart and Rogue Agent's support for many different interpretations of Bond- it depends on HOW different.There are three actors who look the part :Connery,Lazenby and Dalton. Jonathan Cake should have been the natural choice…
  • RogueAgent says 'Craig is his own man and own Bond. Daniel Craig is James Bond.' People who think ' Daniel Craig is James Bond ' are suffering from Dudley Moores 'one legged Tarzan ' syndrome when he applies to agent Peter Cook for the role of …
  • These debates go on and on.But in my support of my own opinion as to whether Bond should fit the Connery/Lazenby mould. May I point to the current TV version of Agatha Christies Hercule Poirot(David Suchet) No one is suggesting a tall, blonde ,blue …
  • My response to CHUCK007 a bit late,he asks 'please define what is Bond look and style?' Chuck- please read Ian Flemings novels, also in an interview during the making of Dr.No. Fleming praised Connery as the right Bond as he is 'Tall-over six feet…
  • DoubleOHSeven and Getafix point to the fact that George Lazenby was a male model and also claim that in some scenes he could not act his way out of a paper bag. Firstly it is pointless to point out that he was a male model -Roger Moore was also a ma…
  • Daniel Craig is a short,blonde,round faced actor with a very light speaking voice who works out a bit and strongly resembles President Putin of Russia.Now President Putin works out a bit - but would you cast him as James Bond ? George Lazenby who wa…
