Scarab's got a point- both Steve McQueen and Daniel Craig have faces that are difficult to translate to plastic. And when it's attempted it ends up looking like a nightmarish mess of crags and wrinkles and/or the undead. Case in point (this one is actually supposed to be Steve McQueen:
I had a dream last night that Roger Moore was recast as Bond again. I was wondering how they were going to practically accomplish this but I seemed to have a lot of faith for some reason.
As soon as I was finished reading whatever contract that stated I could drive any Aston Martin I wanted, I would run outside and yell "GO TIME!!", then jump in a DBS and overdrift.
Real heroes fly jets and tanks and shit that pollutes like crazy.
But they are allowed to do that because they are heroes.
It's like how in RPGs you can walk around a town stealing everyone's valuables from them and they just let you do it because you're a group of heavily-armed teenagers who are humanity's only chance at survival.
Man, speaking of Daniel Craig, He's playing Lord Asriel in the His Dark Materials movies.
Apparently the way his contract was written, he was put in a position that allowed him to sue New Line Cinema if they didn't give him more screentime in the second film, which meant they had to swap his scenes at the end of the first movie and use them as the beginning of the second film.
Basically, the big finale that gave a purpose and meaning to all of the almost random cluster of events that happen throughout the movie, which gave an indication of an actual underlying plot, was no longer there. I hadn't even read the books at the time of seeing it,he ending was really abupt, like a needle scratching a record as the music stops all of a sudden.
It was good enough to get me to check out the books, although having read them now I'll have much higher expectations than I did going into the last one. Meh.

grr I was reading an article about the premiere and how the movie is coming out tomorrow and then I remembered we have to wait another two weeks
I was reading some reviews of this today and it seems like a lot of people still haven't adjusted to the new Bond and they're unhappy that he isn't making quips and one-liners and being all smooth and shit
I'm sure there will be more time for that in the next movie
but right now he's angry and hateful and cruel and he wants to hurt people and that's how Craig will play it
it looks really good but i've heard that he doesn't sleep with the bond girl
whaaaaat
That would be weird
but there are two in this one, he must sleep with one of them
Gemma Arterton, I'd guess
although in the book of Moonraker he didn't sleep with anyone
at the end he tried to seduce the girl and he took her out to dinner, and then some random guy picks her up afterwards, and she's like "James, this is my husband"
and Bond is all "fair enough" and leaves

...Good god that is the creepiest thing
those cheekbones are unsafe for children under the age of 8
ugh
That picture reminds me of Darkseid.
give him 15 years, and he will be an absolute perfect Evil Putin in Die Hard 11
I also don't remember who Darkseid is

I think he's a buthisface
Roger Moore's Bond consisted of walking into places and staring at dudes from across the room.
Fari, what's your opinion on George Lazenby?
i'll just assume he was terrible
You assume wrong. He was good, and the movie he was in is probably the best Bond movie of them all.
Because it's James Bond
It's about how cool Britain is
Real heroes ride bicycles.
oh wait this isn't the uncool things thread
whooops

that makes me angry
this news worries me
I'm sure there will be more time for that in the next movie
but right now he's angry and hateful and cruel and he wants to hurt people and that's how Craig will play it
personally I am so jazzed for this
whaaaaat
Now, AMs fair enough, but if I was so rich I shat pure cocoa butter I wouldn't choose a glorified farm vehicle to flaunt it.
All rolling up to my mansion in beverlyhills in a John Deer tractor with forklift modification.
I guess they're just like..it's British so it must be classy as all fuck?

end book
I never really cared about bond deep dicking the girl anyway
it would just be odd to not see it happen
then what hope do we mere mortals have?
