New Bond: "I hate guns"

[AnthonyRSS]

Statham would make a great Bond. Hair grows. I am not going to watch this new Bond movie.

 

[rick_reno]

It's the movies, who cares what this clown thinks?

 

[longeyes]

O transport!

Statham was the choice. The hair wouldn't matter.

What's happening "over there?"

 

[Zundfolge]

Actually I was hoping for Clive Owen.

How come we're ditching Brosan for this leftist extremist?

And Brosnan isn't a leftist extrimist?

 

[longeyes]

Clive Owen would have been good.

But don't look for hoplophiles in the acting biz.

 

[Lemon Tetra]

Bullets have a nasty habit of finding their target and that's what's scary about them."

Yep, that's right ... dem bullets have a mind of their own and have nasty habits .... like unprotected sex, smoking, intolerance and the worst ... finding thier target.

Weapons and warfare have ALWAYS had a place in theatre and drama whether it is on a stage, in a Greek amphitheatre or on the big screen.

Hamlet, Julius Caesar, MacBeth -> yup plenty of weapons play there
Oedipus Rex, Beowulf, The Odyssey -> yup again
The Count of Monte Cristo, War of the Worlds, Robin Hood, Morte d'Arthur -> yeppers

The new Bond is a nutless girly man. Nuff said. Never saw Sir Alec Guinness complaining that he broke a fingernail and moaning about how he hates swords after dueling Darth Vader did we?

 

[Iain]

It's the movies, who cares what this clown thinks?

Precisely.

I wish people would stop paying so much attention to what 'celebrities' say, I don't care what Mel Gibson thinks about Catholicism, what Natalie Portman thinks about Israel, what Barry Bonds thinks about cheats and so on. Likewise I have no interest in what Craig has to say about guns, I am interested in his acting ability and where they may decide to take the Bond franchise with him. Apparently a more rough and tumble Bond, and with stuntmen and millions of dollars, it makes no difference what Craig thinks about guns, a rougher Bond there will be.

On a side note - Clive Owen was never going to do it. It's a role the typecasts you massively, and Owen is presently developing an interesting and varied career.

Well, the Pussification of the Bond series is complete. What next?

I'm thinking they will re-cut all the Dirty Harry movies to have Harry's .44 actually sucking bullets back into the cylinder to protect the "disadvantaged" criminals.

 

[Don't Tread On Me]

Alternative version:

New Bond: I hate knives
By This is London
25 October 2005

Daniel Craig will have a problem playing the new James Bond - because he hates knives
.............

But he revealed in OK! magazine: "I hate edged weapons. Swords are used to stab people and as long as they are around, people will stab each other.

 

[DevLcL]

Im not sure what I would do if all of a sudden the bond movies turned into some sort of stupid disney crime fighting moral-behind-everything pussyfoot movies, where bond uses nets and sleeping darts and such. (never really killing anyone)

[Carlos]

I won't be spending one red cent to see the new PC Bond.

 

[Shalako]

Why did this guy have to open his mouth and say anything controversial at all?

By doing so, he just said he didn't want my money. I could take or leave his movie, so therefor leave it will be. No biggie.

 

[torpid]

They should've just packed it in after Connery.

That's right, I said it.

 

[Standing Wolf]

I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other.
That's a simple fact.

Very simple facts for very simple "minds."

 

[cbsbyte]

Well, I never really cared for the James Bond series. The movies are so cheesy, they are actually to boring to watch. I do agree with most people that Sean Connery was the best Bond player.
Oh by the way, If you ever have listened to Roger Moore speak to reporters you will realize he is a very arrogant person. Now, who really cares what a British actor has to say about firearms? I am really, the Brits are the last people that should talk about the subject since they already disarmed themselves for criminals.

You couldn't be further from the truth.

I liked Brosnan the best, followed by Connery.

I always thought Adrian Paul (Highlander) would have made a good Bond.

that's a video game isn't it?

 

[solareclipse]

the bond franchise was massacred and died years ago.

hollywood simply isn't smart enough to bury it. it doesn't matter who the cast is (in the past 3 movies, nobody) or what the plots are (again, there are no plots) it can't be saved for many reasons.

 

[xd9fan]

whats the title of his first bond movie???

"pussy" or how about "heretodaygonetommorow"


gotta quote nugent here:
My guns must be defective....because not one has killed anybody.

 

[Don Gwinn]

1. I thought Brosnan was an OK Bond, but let's face it: Bond doesn't really work anymore. I skipped the last one and still have not seen it, even though Halle Berry was all up in it in a bikini.

2. Is Adrian Paul busy or something? What is the big mystery? You could pay him half what Pierce Brosnan commands and he'd BE Bond. Hell, he basically turned Duncan McLeod into James Bond. Give him a smaller jacket and cut off the ponytail and he'd be right there. Bond could live on a barge moored on the Thames, no problem.

3. Actors. . . . feh. Who cares what they think? Honestly, they are there to look pretty doing insultingly improbable things.

 

[c_yeager]

Im a little more concerned about this completely nonsensical exchange:

Nor does the 37-year-old share Bond's love of Martinis shaken and stirred.

"I love a Martini straight up. I don't think anybody makes a Martini stirred any more," he said.

 

[Boss Spearman]

Let's just bring back Paul in the Highlander series and have him kill Bond, finding out Bond is an evil immortal.

 

[71Commander]

that's a video game isn't it?

No. Eastwood's remaking "Dirty Harry".
