  • Leadsom may not be the smartest or the most qualified candidate, but she, like Trump, has a lot of common sense. That's what the west needs, more common sense. To much of politics has become very high minded over the past few decades. We spend month…

  • Hmm. I can see what you mean with the eyes, and the hair colour is similar. However the cheekbones, chin, nose etc. are all substantially different. Besides a passing resemblance, I don't see it. Turner is extremely Fleming, moreso than any actor wh…
  • The only reason its not unanimous for Turner is because in a lot of his press photos he's sporting a full beard, so people can't really see him as Bond. If you see this guy shaven, its phenomenal. He's the picture of how Fleming described Bond. It r…

  • I definitely think that Nolan would be interested in working with Aidan Turner. After he discovered Cillian Murphy he's been a fan of Irish actors ever since. According to the daily express Aidan Turner is 'done and dusted' for the role, so if Nolan…
  • Didn't they also removed Bonds cigar?
  • Wow, EON really appears to have taken its foot off the pedal recently. Either that or they have just learnt to be a lot more sneaky. No news in over 2 weeks! One thing, however has not changed, if you have noticed? Remember when Elba was the favouri…

  • I don't wish to be mean, but Judi and Samantha look the same age now. I suppose from Judi's perspective that's not mean at all.
  • GoldenEye/Casino Royale Both films are directed by Martin Campbell, and they are considered to be an updating of the character to the present day. Both films are considered the high point of their respective Eras. There is a nice mix of interesti…
  • I think everyone can agree that Craig has had two good outings, except we can't agree on which two. ;) I have always thought that Craig was very much following in the footsteps of Lazenby, and had more success due to being a better actor and a be…

  • You know, It's funny, SP was the first time that Craig said he felt comfortable just acting (because he trusted Mendes could handle the rest) and yet SP is the first time he is given coproducer credit. That's kind of a conundrum if you think about i…

  • Connery + Moore = Brosnan Connery + Lazenby = Craig Connery + Dalton = Turner \m/

  • DAD is at least better than Skyfall and Quantum of Solace. It doesn't come close to SP or CR though. I've always had both GE and CR being top 10, with CR being the better of the two. Then again even those films have their fair share of issues.
