bear in mind Moonraker did the space thing to cash in on the Star Wars hype .. and it seemed slapped together ..

Being an older guy - and someone who read all of the books - i really prefer a tougher meaner bond ...

I still liked Moore .. he has a presence .. but they allowed the comedy to take over and made him too soft.

I'm telling ya...Jason Statham.
He's a badass and he's a Brit to boot. Slap a wig on his dome and ya got the new Bond.

The main problem I had with Moonraker was, back in the 60's the Bond movies were the films everyone wanted to imitate, Flint, Matt Helm,Man From Uncle, Wild Wild West etc. but by the time we got to the late 70's it was Bond who was doing the imitating-Star wars, Star Trek,Close Encounters, and not even doing a good job to me this film was a low point.I much preferred the next film "For Your Eyes Only" a more realistic down to earth film

Word has it that the front runner for the new Bond is...6’ 6” Scottish actor Rory McCann, who last appeared in "Alexander", is considered to be the top choice of producers.

What do you folks think about Ebenezer Scrooge being rewritten as a woman? Supposedly this is popular now.

Hell yeah I like James Bond 007 movies I grew up watching them until Dalton LOL. I think Peirce Brosnan kicks ass as Bond though. As far as my fave Bond movies go I will say Octopussy is a fave man I like that Maud Adams yummy. Dr. No in 1962 and The Man with a golden Gun and Goldfinger I like. Most Bond fans would say that Dr. No is the first James Bond movie ever made. The first James Bond movie was made in 1954 it was titled Casino Royale it was a Tv Bond movie that played 1 hour on the BBC. But in 1962 the 1st motion picture of Bond was made titled Dr. No. Another so called James Bond movie that I dont count as part of the James Bond series is a 1967 spoof staring David Nevins as Sir James Bond and Peter Sellers as James Bond the movie was made the same year Pinewood made You Only live Twice. I hope who ever plays Bond in the next movie will be as good as Brosnan.

I've seen a photo of this guy and he has a strong resemblece to Connery. I don't know if he can act but he sure looks the part

Now there's talk of Clive Owen [King Arthur,Closer,Gosford Park ] taking the role of 007.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...ingarthur2.jpg
