I don't see much point in trying to make friends see movies they're not interested in watching. Telling them you really enjoy something and maybe elaborating on the reasons is one thing, or recommending something to somebody whose tastes you think it would fit. But if they're still not interested, then why bother pushing it? I would hate it if anyone did that to me. I like what I like, my friends like what they like, often we watch very different stuff, and it's not a problem in any way. I understand wanting to share stuff with friends, but one doesn't have to have similar tastes in everything, and different tastes can be rewarding, too.
I think Bale would have been excellent. Dark, edgey, Daltonesque maybe.
I'm sure I would have loved Bale as Bond, but I suspect he was better off without it, and therefore I'm relieved he's where he is instead of where Craig is. (I feel kinda bad for Craig as an actor atm, however silly that may sound, but you know what I mean.)
It's actually interesting to think how much the Bond actor can affect what the movies are like and where the franchise is going. I mean, without Craig, there also wouldn't have been Mendes, and therefore not Logan, nor Newman, etc. We'd have different stories, different directors, composers, actors, writers, etc. Without Craig we wouldn't have Skyfall or Spectre, we'd have something else. Casting the next guy may mean a hell of a lot more than just who plays Bond...
They cast Brosnan, so why not? Cast Enrique Iglesias while you are at it. Or John James.
The name is James, err...John Doe James.
Of course I'm biased because growing up my dad used to have Julio whining in the car audio and my sister and I used to have to endure it.
Next Bond torture sequence idea.
Kinda like "would you rather have your balls bashed with a carpet beater ..or listen to Let It Be from Frozen? ..."
"wait.. wait! I'm thinking... hmmm" "so how many hits exactly??"
Just wait until Disney buys Bond. Selena Gomez will be Moneypenny.
To throw in some nostalgia they'll cast Daniel Craig as Pa Bond à la The Force Awakens, Bieberbond will sadly kill Pa Bond.
But this was funny nevertheless. :))
I'm just making fun of TFA. I really found it so hilariously bad.
Of course as can be seen by audience reactions TFA is a success with them. Good for Disney. Meanwhile I stick to Star Wars Rebels which is a gazillion times better than TFA.
I didn't like TFA either. Acting was horrible even the Brits took it down a notch.
Ok the leading lady was memorable and second in line to be my wife behind the lady of MI:RN but the rest eh.
Brosnan, although an extremely good looking chap, has something weirdly effeminate about him. Never bought him as a Bond.
Agreed on both accounts.
Strange. Bale never struck me as Bond. Too obvious a choice maybe?
I particularly like his first confrontation with Catwoman in TDKR up on the top floor of Wayne Mansion. Vintage Bale at his best, radiating quiet intensity even when all disheveled and bearded up.
However, I think Dalton did irony quite well. His remark on the shopping list in TLD, for example. And in his first confrontation with Franz (another Franz!) in LTK. But they were spare moments - Dalton clearly wanted to take Bond in another direction after seven Roger Bonds.
No. I don't think he'd have done Bond "too serious" at all. Of course he could have gone that "one step further" if for some reason asked to do so, but I suspect that wouldn't have been the kind of Bond he'd have particularly wanted to do. He's a very playful person, so it seems logical he wouldn't have wanted to ignore playfulness in Bond.
Yes. He can do as serious, or indeed as silly as needed - the roles in the two David O. Russell directed movies give some indications of the latter, and it's even more obvious off screen. (I live in hope that he'd do more obviously comedic stuff every now and then.) - "Relaxed cool" is a nice expression, btw, and I agree with you on that.
In an alternate universe I would like to see what Bale could have done in 'Wolf of Wall Street' instead of Dicaprio.
I wish he'd do something in the spy genre (my favourite).
As usual, you have such excellent taste. ;) (Btw, if you haven't seen his dp30 interview - the Out Of The Furnace one - may I take this opportunity to recommend it... if you're even remotely interested it's a good one about acting.)
The spy genre... hmm... I hadn't even thought about that, but my first follow-up thought upon reading your suggestion was "David Fincher, maybe?" There was mutual interest to work together not that long ago (which surprised me a little bit actually, since Fincher is known for wanting to do about a million takes ) so I hope they will, on something, at some point. A spy story might be a good fit.
Doesn't he have a Terence Malick film called Weightless in the works? Great cast in that one including a lot of Bond alums and potentials but not sure when it's coming out. It's been delayed a couple of times.
Paul Crocker in Queen&Country?
