I agree. I feel like making a big bonfire and burning all my Bond things as the Craig as bond charade is just going to go on and on.
Carl you really are off the edge now and I agree with you. Cr-egg has cast a rotten stench over the ENTIRE franchise.....so long Bond, James Bond.
Carl, I think it's best if you lock anything Pre-DC Bonds away and not to be touched. BJ, it's time for us to don the freak avatars.

Agreed. I don't care at all for Craig and this current direction, but I'm not going to let that stop me from enjoying the classic James Bond. In fact, it's my love for classic Bond that still keeps me clinging on to the series with the hope that things might return to the way they were before. It's why I'm constantly on this forum expressing my disagreement towards this direction. I will continue to cherish the classic films, and the various Bond collectibles I've bought over the years, as they all represent the great memories of the pre-Craig Bond era.

If I didn't already enjoy Bond from LTD on I wouldn't be bothered by Craig. I see it as two different series where one is classic and the other copying newer movie franchises. Nothing Craig can do could ruin my enjoyment of LTK.

Craig also looks like one of the thunderbirds, ironically so does the new q (or should I say brains).

Lost traditions.

Because the producers clearly don't care about abandoning all the elements/qualities that made the James Bond series so popular in the first place.

Or, on a similar theme, tedious inevitability.
