Classic Bond Forum

"whilst you think it's your right to an opinion..." Says it all.

Someone there named Colonel_Venus said this about my suggestion that Aidan Turner would be a successful Bond: "He would be perfect for the role of Bond's long lost Sicilian cousin, Giacomo Biondo!"------another genius. Aidan Turner is Italian? I don't think it's going to be him, because he doesn't ...

Wow.. “sh!t show” doesn’t even BEGIN to describe *that* thread over at MI6. Yeah, I think it's probably best if we stop talking about them now, and giving them the clicks. There's a danger that we might end up becoming as obsessed with them as they are with us. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

All the people over there saying that Cavill shouldn't be cast because he's never been the lead in a hit movie, apart from Superman, who's a massively successful character. Yes, you're getting there, now keep following that train of thought....

I remember their pet theories like believing Craig was only being praised because people felt sorry for him or some nonsense. Or the best one: “CR is for people who don’t like Bond movies”. I don't remember anybody here ever saying that Craig was being praised because people felt sorry for him. I d...

Remember what I said about there being worse choices than ATJ?

Well, he WOULD say that.probably reading these posts since he posted on one of the stories on the main page a while back.

I'm still convinced Sandeep Jacobin was him posting under an alias.

It certainly falls short of a full denial. I just want them to announce it and get it over with.

Don't get this weird fixation with his wife myself. It doesn't have much to do with what's on screen. Connery used to beat his wife, does that mean he shouldn't have been cast as Bond?

And I got some bad news for ya, they already brought back "rapey Bond" his name was Craig-Bond and he's most recognizable in Skyfall and Spectre where he has his way with a human trafficking victim and forces himself on a grieving widow respectively. The former example evoking the "Pussy Galore Bar...

On the face of it I would agree, however don't forget his legal guardian/wife will be two steps behind him, she's Babz Broccoli 2.0, in fact she and Babz are good friends and it was her who directed the gender bending "woman's day special" referenced in my signature! So while he may have "the look"...

He's not my first choice, but I won't be too upset if the story turns out to be true. There are much worse options out there.

I just think that with all such rumours, it's only official when it's official. Unless and until there's an announcement from EON, I shall treat it as just another bogus Bond casting story.

It's deja vu all over again.

I'm sure ABC does care about ratings, but they're probably not that worried. Even the lowest-rated Oscars ceremony (2021, IIRC) still dwarfs pretty much everything else on TV, except the Superb Owl and maybe a couple of other events.

You may not like him, but he seems to be popular.

I didn't see the Oscars, but it'll be interesting to see if the ploys they used to reverse the decline in ratings (starting it an hour earlier, having an undoubted hit movie sweep the board, bringing in Ryan Gosling to perform I'm Just Ken) have any effect.

Don't agree with Pierce on this one. Cillian is a good actor, but I don't see him as Bond.
