Shhh! Sweeney, you know you're not supposed to wake them up to reality that a lot of longtime Bond fans actually like Craig, that would break their spirit.The Sweeney wrote:What about the diehard fans on the other Bond websites? Do they not count?Jermaine76 wrote:007 wrote:

I was referring to people I know PERSONALLY, not on message boards.The Sweeney wrote:What about the diehard fans on the other Bond websites? Do they not count?Jermaine76 wrote:007 wrote:

I'm noticing the same disconnect. Admittedly, the sample size is much smaller, but the Bond fans I know personally are generally much more hostile to Craig than the ones I know from Internet forums.Jermaine76 wrote:I was referring to people I know PERSONALLY, not on message boards.

Makes sense. If you don't care for Craig much you're hardly likely to post on CommanderBond.net.

You could post here. But not everyone who goes to see Bond films is a hardcore fan who posts on sites like this one or CBN etc. Most are casual fans who are not as emotionally invested in the franchise as we are. Remember, if internet chatter reflected the opinions of the general moviegoing public, Snakes on a Plane would have been a Spiderman/Pirates/Indy-sized blockbuster.007 wrote:Kristatos wrote:I'm noticing the same disconnect.
