Next Bond James Bond

[Jalousie]

I would have to go back and watch the '70s Bonds with Roger Moore. I remember Moonraker was kind of a goof with a bunch of funny sight gags. For Your Eyes Only comes to mind as a good one.

I's like to see John Wick as the next "James Bond". Just replace the character already.

PS: Or, if "Bond" must be preserved, how about Boy George?

Having seen the original prime time, it has to be an improvement.

Edit: just saw a commercial for it, Kathy Bates.

Guess Matlock is were old farts go out to pasture

First two episodes went pretty well. Time will tell, although I don't think Ms Bates would've agreed to do it if she didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yeah, , , , after seeing her break James Cann's legs in "Misery", , , I'm not all that sure I COULD watch her as Matlock

(without hearing that gawdawful "CRUNCH!!!" play over & over in my mind)

Cillian Murphy....

If I stretch, I can kind of see a Jane Bond in some kind of one-off revenge or secret take someone out plot. It could work, but it wouldn't be a new franchise move.

It'd be like the David Niven Casino Royalle with Cheese parody ...

In the novel she chops his feet off.

'The Spy Who Loved Me' is outstanding.

I liked the 'cartoonish' Bond. If we were ever watching a Bond on TV my mother would always stick her head round the door and say 'James Bond? It's total nonsense.'

But that was sort of the point of it. Ridiculous escapism. Everything tries too hard to be 'realistic' now. It's boring.

Just spent the past 1/2 hour looking over the possible "James" candidate, and the line up's pretty long. Some well known, and established, others fairly new on the stage.

There's a few who seem to have the inner track with the looks, demeanor and style that 007 is expected to showcase. The owners I think won't stray much from the "Bond Image" that the viewers expect. Age, I think is a prime consideration that will knock some out of contention.
