This is nothing against Pircee, his charmes never lay in his physicallity. But pushing him to be a well build man is overdoing it - that's all. He was never more then average with a charme of his own - more then many other men can call their own.
This interview always makes me chuckle though
There's also this:
http://www.people.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/2011/11/13/daniel-s-fantastic-but-i-do-miss-pierce-says-dame-judi-102039-23557714/
I have a suspicion Dench preferred working with Brosnan than with Craig but, again, who knows.
My mum knows someone who's a paparazzi. She apparently said a certain Mr Craig isn't that nice in real life.
One thing is certain - Pierce can turn on the charm and light up the screen =D>
Wow, I had not come across that article. Even in the films too, I felt that Dench and Brosnan had more chemistry in their respective roles than Dench and Craig (who are still quite good together as well)
For Bond and movie making in general, Moore is god. In honor of his divine acting and personality, I have my username named after him.
....Who does like "PAPS"...!!!! X_X
I've seen many celebrities hounded and pushed about by these So called Photographer's, it must drive folks like DC made!!? 8-}
Why is it necessary to overdo it so much just to make a point? . I have made sveral posts here, saying that I like Moores Bond the best - still - I don't think he is a Bond god or an acting god - God no...
I'm probably in the minority but, while Dench and Craig get on quite well, her and Broz seemed more compatable. Just the little smiles they gave one another was an indicator. Like in the PTS of TWINE when Bond's in her office and she says "care for a drink" with a smile. You can tell they were chummy.
I think some stars have a better relationship with paps than others though. Connery and Craig don't seem to be the paparazzi's best friends - ditto with Dalton. Moore seems to be a more accepting person. I suspect Brosnan just "plays the game". Tolerates the paps but isn't afraid to give them a subtle finger.
Why not? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and expressing it as they please. You could simply ignore it if it bothers you so. There's nothing wrong with someone being a superfan if that's their prerogative. In fact I enjoy the enthusiasm, being a Bond fan myself.
....its called acting!!!
How are we to know how well they all got/get on, for me Dench is untouchable and one classy-lady who most prob loves both her Bonds!!! :x
Sure, we like the same man, but a Bond god or acting god he is not. Even Connery is not. Sorry...all just human folks..
I'm sure Daniel and Dench get on well but I can't shake the feeling she misses Brosnan - heck the article even says she does and she described working with Pierce as "lovely" in her autobiography.
@MrEon
We don't. Its just a gut feeling I have. I remember her voicing her disapproval when Brosnan was let go.
"He [Pierce] was a very warm man and always a lot of fun, always laughing and joking. Pierce was great to have around the set. We became close friends.
But you miss anyone you make a relationship with and you think at some point youll maybe cross paths again. And I did, with Pierce, in a play. If you get on with somebody well, you never really break that."
For me he filled a gap, till we got the better Bond in DC!!? When I watch a PB Bond movie now I cant help but feel embarrassed at times as to what his doing and how he carries himself!!?
L-)
She met Brosnan many times, and worked with him, and adored him. She does not think much of Craig's Bond.
She had great stories about Burton, Harris et al.
Just wondering, what do you mean that we are pushing Dalton also into being the best since sliced bread? No offense of course, I´m just wondering if it was a typo, perhaps? I like Dalton, but not that much, and DC007 seems to think along those lines too. Or did you mean Moore and Brosnan?
The problem Brosnan had is that he played Bond during a period that saw a massive acceleration in the production of popular cinema. Jurassic Park set a precedent in the early nineties that forced Bond to compete with an epic new genre of big budget films.
Before this, Bond sat comfortably alongside a smaller raft of movies that delivered spectacle and glamour and were 'event movies' of the time.
I think it's only recently dawned on the producers that you can't necessarily compete for fanboy money in these scale stakes alone but you can with 'character' and a genuine willingness to find something new in what had become, dare I say, slightly predictable fare.
I for one am a fan of every Bond actor (minus Lazenby) and think they all bring something unique to the part but I think the producers made the Brosnan era movies with the sensibilities of those that had gone before which is possibly why some people now look unfavourably upon them.
I think for Bond to continue being successful they realised they needed a dramatic gear change and the first peice of the jigsaw to be dispensed with was always going to be Brosnan. I really do think it's unfortunate for Brosnan as I do think he's a fantastic Bond and in different circumstances who knows what might have happened.
Excellent post. I think it's often overlooked in a post-Brosnan age the perspective of what the producers were going for at that time: big spectacular, pop-corn, action flics. This had been the tradition: Bond had always been at the cutting edge. Comparing the Brosnan films to DC films seems moot, because they were approached from different angles. I think the Brosnan films should be appreciated for what they were. Even in spite of that though, GE for example, still showed an example of Bond having some character depth with the beach scene with Natalya in particular.
Well for me he defined the role. Screw Sean Connery, as a lad it was all about Pierce. That's why I can't be too critical of him - even if most of his movies aren't great.
Suppose, you got me there - I mixed them up. Yes, change Dalton with Pierce. ;)
I really like this statement and think, it is true for many. Its not so much about the quality of a Bond film or its actor, but about the situation, you met him. I got that now - you defend, what you like - even for reasons, only you understand. We are all "guilty" of that.
Totally agree! Craig often states that he likes his private life to remain private.
As would I if I was in his shoes, although I would probably of sparked a few of them paps out the way some of them shove cameras in people's faces.
>:/
i know this sounds controversial but i pefer Pierce over Connery- sure Pierce had some clungers (eg:DAD) but his films were pure escapism which lets face it it wouldnt be Bond without some escpaism
You are not alone when it comes to prefering Pierce over Sean, my friend. I really agree with the escapism part also.
After that it was Connery. After a couple of years hiatus I started watching Bond again and realized that Moore means more enjoyment, quality, more bla, bla, bla, the list goes on.
He is number 1, and I think everybody should realize this ;)
Sometimes it's hard to write at the risk of upsetting others feelings, that's not our intentions (usually) it's just that there will always be a tendency for disagreement
Are there room for more Bond controversial opinions though ?
How about I was the only one who found Carly Simon's and Sheena Easton's music all rather dull, bland and annoying even. No sense in lying
License to Kill should never have been as violent as it was and stayed on the path of a PG rating as always before, they could of added a James Bond story too while they were at it
The ending of Octopussy or last 20 minutes even is all rather boring and uninteresting. I usually switch off once Moore deactivates the bomb at the circus
The teaser of The World Is Not Enough was fine up until the hot air balloon bit, Brosnan hanging on for dear life and then rolling off that building to a silly drum roll. It spoilt a very good opening
If Desmond Llewelyn had not sadly died in that years car accident he could feasibly have continued in the Q role for Die Another Day and maybe just maybe Casino Royale with it if possible
Robert Brown was a most awful M and never should of been given the time of day
Caroline Bliss was wasted as Moneypenny and should of got more screen time, the 30 seconds or so for License To Kill was simply a bit rude
