Wow .... this movie is turning into a disaster.
I'll wait for video. (And then only for comedic value)

Short: He got his teeth knocked out while filming the FIRST fight scene.
The picture in this article is also very UN-Bondish.

Connery would kick his ass.®

spectre · Feb 20, 2006, 01:53 AM

hah.. yeah, that's a bad picture.

I'm willing to give the movie a chance. At least it'll have a good plot this time, based on an original Ian Fleming novel (one of my favourites)—unless they screw with it too much. The new bond girl looks to fit the part physically, though I don't know much about her acting skills.

To be honest.. the last few bond movies sucked majorly, especially the last with those incredibly bad cgi scenes. Hopefully with this movie they'll go back to the original Bond atmosphere found in the novels, and partly in the Connery movies...

JoshuaZ · Feb 20, 2006, 08:02 AM

In the long history of Bond films, has the acting ability of any Bond Girl really been of high importance?

Super Mario · Feb 20, 2006, 09:03 AM

Connery would eat him and anyone related to him on the same plate.

t6hawk · Feb 20, 2006, 10:56 AM

I don't like the new guy they have to play Bond. To me he just doesn't fit the part or even look the part.

Doofy · Feb 20, 2006, 12:20 PM

Bond died when M had his gender-change operation.

OAW · Feb 20, 2006, 01:16 PM

James Bond is the coolest white man on the planet. Daniel Craig not Bond. If he remains then I'll definitely be seeing the movie on DVD ... if that.

Rolling Bones · Feb 20, 2006, 01:44 PM

Ahnold could play bond. He'd have to work on that English accent though.

Imagine all the groping.

Patrick McGoohan can kick both their asses.

What about that guy? You know that guy, guy?

That guy could could kick England's butt.

Not the Family Guy.

andreas_g4 · Feb 20, 2006, 02:17 PM

I've never watched a James Bond not starring Connery or Moore. I'll leave it that way.

starman · Feb 20, 2006, 03:54 PM

Dalton was underrated.

Moore? Maybe. Connery? No.

tikki · Feb 20, 2006, 04:25 PM

i will withhold judging the movie before i see it. After all, he was in Layer Cake and Layer Cake is good.

RAILhead · Feb 20, 2006, 05:01 PM

People actually watch those movies still?

He was a right sexy bastard, and he was convincing as a spy. I think he gets a bad wrap because the movies he starred in were quite lame.

ort888 · Feb 20, 2006, 06:13 PM

It will make a great special feature on the DVD.

OAW · Feb 20, 2006, 06:37 PM

Timothy Dalton was not Bond. It baffles me that they've selected a new actor who is even less so.

Last I checked, he was.

TheoCryst · Feb 21, 2006, 03:19 AM

Chuck Norris versus Sean Connery... hmmm.......

Dakar · Feb 21, 2006, 09:20 AM

They've managed to get me as unexcited about 007 as I was excited when he returned in '95.

What are you talking about?

At any rate the New bond is also driving a FORD!!!

I'm gonna put a word in for Dalton too. Made a very convincing "dark" Bond. The films he was in weren't too bad either - in fact The Living Daylights is one of my favourites.

Dakar · Mar 3, 2006, 09:30 AM

Yeah, I def won't be seeing this in a theatre. First he lost teeth filming the first scene, then he had a really bad sunburn. Oooooooo

The Living Daylights was pretty good. License to Kill seemed pretty bad though.

driven · Mar 3, 2006, 09:53 AM

Regarding the Ford:

The Mondeo being used for chase scenes in the Bahamas is a souped-up 140mph model.

Craig, 38 yesterday, drives only automatics — so the car had to be modified.

A James Bond that can't figure out a stick-shift. If this weren't so sad it would be funny.

Dakar · Mar 3, 2006, 09:56 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. What a loser. Clive Owen would have been much cooler, let alone some of the other Candidates.

Agreed. The Living Daylights was a good bond spy film. License to Kill was a lousy gory revenge movie and to this day is my least-favorite Bond film (and that includes On Her Majesty's Secret Service

).

Doofy · Mar 3, 2006, 10:08 AM

A Ford Mondeo?

I'm now convinced that this is all a huge conspiracy to mislead us and that the real new Bond is Adrian Paul, currently parallel filming in complete secrecy.

Two words: Talisa Soto.

Not understanding why you'd think you were being an ass? He does look like he could be Connery's son. Since he's got that original Bond look and can actually kick ass whilst looking cool I reckon he'd be great for a Bond role.

Dakar · Mar 3, 2006, 10:32 AM

Well as I grew older and began to see the differences in their actual faces, I thought I might have been insane.

Dakar · Mar 3, 2006, 10:34 AM

I guess my problem is old Connery looks nothing like young Connery.

driven · Mar 3, 2006, 10:53 AM

Adrianne Paul would have been my first choice for Bond. There can be only one. :-)

That said: I wish Brosnon would have stayed on. (Had it been offered to him.) I think the studio is cutting their nose off to spite their face here.

... and yes: Talisa Soto was a great Bond chick.

wdlove · Mar 3, 2006, 11:03 AM

I haven't had any interest in Bond for a long time. Probably time to retire.

davesimondotcom · Mar 3, 2006, 11:24 AM

Of course Connery is king.

But my favorite Bond film starred George Lazenby. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Dakar · Mar 3, 2006, 11:28 AM

I certainly can't complain about Dianna Rigg.

Dalton was one of my fav bonds, he was hard core.

If the producers insist on ditching Pierce Brosnan, then Clive Owen can definitely be Bond.

OAW

PS: Adrian Paul could be Bond too. He definitely has the action film experience already which is a plus.

I Bent My Wookiee · Mar 3, 2006, 03:40 PM

They should have took the 14 mil they got for putting a Ford in it and put it towards Clive Owen.

Dakar · Mar 3, 2006, 03:43 PM

The only possible upside is the reception for this jagon should so luke-warm that the producers will figure out their mistake and replace him like Lazenby and Dalton got replaced. He could be a one-hit wonder, so to speak.
