In his comments about the recent film, Faulks also charged that that both Skyfall and the 2008 film Quantum of Solace had been wrong to show a deeper and sensitive side to 007 because it did not fit with 007's character.
He said he had abandoned his own attempts to introduce introspection in Bond when he was writing Devil May Care.
Although he wanted to break up the action sequences, he said the result was unconvincing and made the British agent look 'not thoughtful but slightly gay'.

Adele, the British songstress, will step out to perform at the 85th Academy Awards on Feb. 24. and will sing "Skyfall," the theme from the 2012 James Bond film, which is in the running for best original song. It will mark the first time Adele will have performed the track anywhere live -- and is also her first TV performance since the 2012 Grammy Awards. "Skyfall" is up against "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from "Ted"; "Pi's Lullaby" from "Life of Pi"; "Before My Time" from "Chasing Ice"; and "Suddenly" from "Les Miserables."

"It's an honor to be nominated and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again," Adele said in a statement. "It's something I've never experienced and probably only ever will once!" (Let Sheamus announce her, right FBF?)

The thing with the Craig Bond's sensitive side is that it is all made up to create a new character for the Craig Bond films.
Bring back Bond!

Note to Ale, our resident journalist; if you're ever given the chance to interview Jerry Sadowitz, it might be best to decline the assignment.

Ms. Bouvier is awol since Bond 23 opened. Depression and realization of no Cavill as Bond might have set in. The entire world has gone mad over this crummy film which is poorly done.

I think Sheamus is a much realistic choice.

I was going for the media has a POV and they no longer try to separate themselves from the story, recent reporting make it clear they think they are part of a team reporting to a end. I don't think it is controlled by the Pres, its that their beliefs out weight their common sense.

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

Yes, i was wondering what has happened to 'Ale', she used to post here a lot!..........and where's 'Thunderpussy'?

What i want to know is .....what are we going to talk about here, until news of Bond 24!

Ive been on that 'MI6' site recently, and ive come to the conclusion that some of the members there are nothing more than 'deranged baboons'.

I guess we're not as evil and narrow-minded as some people make us out to be. I mentioned this a few times, but I think the community here is a lot more open-minded and easy to get along with than the communities on some of the other Bond fan sites.

To be honest, i joined this site, in the CNB days, when a certain lady here just left, i must admit i was quite rude for a while on the forums, but soon realised the error of my ways.
Yes, everyone here seems to get on very well, despite differing views, which is very good............and no one here has ever been unpleasant to me.
Whereas, over at 'MI6' its a nightmare, trying to get your point over in a post, without being attacked by the 'muppets'.

This is the best d**n forum on Bond on the internet, bar none :!: We all know these other sites and their condescending ways. Here, all are welcome, if cordial........"cross over children....all welcome......cross over......into the light :!: "

We will talk about anything and everything relevant to living in the 21st century, from Broccoli's deranged muses, to Sheamus being a possible Bond, to The Lone Ranger and The Man Of Steel, etc. EA, YOU.......are my kind of people :!:
