Classic Bond Forum

What about Norman Reedus as Bond because he has the Babs Bond look (she cast Craig and wanted Sean Bean as Bond).

He'd be better than Daniel Craig.

LOL come on now! This guy manages to look even worse than Craig. Because he's even more bland. And it takes quite something. My God, please have mercy don't give me further nightmares for Bonds to come!!!

This guy has definitely got the Babs look. Luckily she won't get to make the next decision.

I have some bad news for you ale: Barbara has lined up Worzel Gummidge as Craig's replacement:

I never get tired of that one.

LMAO!!! I wondered what the title of that series was in English! I saw it as a kid and everything was DUBBED and changed in Italian. You just gave me a great laugh.

I used to find that series quite scary growing up.

Did you know that Jon Pertwee was Terry Gilliam's original choice for the title role in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?

No, I didn't know that. He probably would have been quite good. I liked Pertwee in The House That Dripped Blood and of course Dr Who.

LOL it was just.. weird. I did remember finding it weird that he changed heads and didn't die. I think the first time I was scared... then I understood it was just a game of his or something LOL It's bizarre, I just thought about this series a few days ago and couldn't even remember how it was called in Italian... and now you guys put up a photo! LOL Very strange. His looks are as dashing as Craig's, must say Poor Craig, now seriously, he ain't that bad of course. But Babs's taste could well bring us to something like this at this rate

Then there was Worzel Gummidge Down Under, which wasn't as good, but which has some historical significance due to the fact that the special effects were supervised by a young New Zealander named Peter Jackson (his first job in the film and television industry).

From what I know from reading about the LOTR films, Peter Jackson's specialty when he was starting out was special effects. They' were low tech by today's standards but impressive back in the day.

How about Jackson for a Bond directing job?
Trouble is it would last three and a half hours, be as boring as hell, and nothing would really happen.

Nah. As much as I like the LOTR trilogy. Eh, I'm sure you'd get takers, though,I'm sure there's some crossover between the LOTR fandom and the Bond fandom.

Not from this Bond fan Katie.
I think I'm one of the only people I know who doesn't like the LOTR trilogy.
Mrs. Nash and I have also not seen AVATAR, and have no plans on doing so either.

Ew, Avatar. No thanks.

Jackson for Bond, no thanks either. I want JJ Abrams. That's not going to happen since he does MIssion:Impossible. Too d**n bad since he's great and he sure as hell knows what action and spy writing is. Plenty of proof of it in Alias. (yes sorry it's my favourite show. It's the equivalent of Cavill in terms of show for me and actually my number ONE TV boyfriend is in it. That's right, Cavill is not number one. Michael Vartan is. ).

Anyhow, back to topic. Reedus. Good Lord. But the 80s memories were priceless

Maybe this condensed version of The Return of the King will be more to your taste:
