I would have liked it to have been Jason Statham (lack of hair didn't prevent Connery wearing a rug!) because he's probably the 1st convincing british action star for a while. Previously I'd been rooting for Ewan out of national bias, but after watching the 2nd transporter, i just thought that Jason could pull it off in…
i think i'd rather slit my wrists and rub a tramp's shit into the wounds than watch The Limey again (not a british film, by the way). I've never liked Steven Soderbergh, but this one really made me despise him and everything he stands for.
And if I unknowingly walk into the cinema to watch it with those 'actors' in the talked about roles, I trust you will also shoot me too. Save my sanity! I'd be like one of those poor infected with an Alien types begging those passing by to 'please, kill me'.
I am a big fan of Dalton also, but I can't rate him above Connery or early Moore. I agree too, that it's about time for a "non gimmicky" more spy oriented Bond film, like "For Your Eyes Only", "The Living Daylights" or even "From Russia With Love"
Glad we can find some common ground, ror I absolutely feel that the loss of what made Bond so interesting coincided with the overall dilution of 'Britishness' with the series, for lack of a better word. Things like replacing the Aston Martin with a BMW were frankly disgusting. I can tolerate product placement to a degree,…
Anything fine as long as they're not outside the British Isles. Off-topic: But do English accents always sound weird, yet American sounds normal in films? I'm asking as an Englishman to another.. (as it's pretty much set with Americans). But you never get that normal feel unless it's an English film, like Layer Cake.
...wow.. and I thought U.S.Politics got complicated. Now I neverwant to visit the U.K.... As to the Bond Replacement, please not Hugh Jackman, and please not (the overexposed) Jude Law. Ewan MacGregor would be a good choice, I think though. Jackman is just not "Heavy enough". He seems like a lightweight. and Jude Law is…
Verm, Im in a half Scottish, half English family so I get really bored of the Scots predisposition to resent their English counterparts very quickly. Ive just got no time for that kind of predisposed xenophobia. But then, Im far more internationally minded now than I used to be. The thing is Verm, you bring up an amusing…
LOL Brosnan seems to be getting the most publicity from this than anyone! I don't like Jackman for the role. Physically he is prbably a-ok, but I think it should be cast to someone from either (as I learned from this thread) the small British island or the big British island. Really I do. I still think Farrell, could do it
i was just saying ror's probably one of those militant types, that would claim he was suppressed and oppressed where ever he came from. like those militant black people who always bitch that you're oppressing them if you just say hello or something or that claim you're sexist if you just say good day miss.
