  • I was just kidding around guys. I saw this stunt dude pushing iron in that thumbnail and just had to comment, given all the posts about Craig's looks. Bottom line, that guy seems to be overdoing it. Bond doesn't need to look like him and I hope h…

  • I personally like his look, but I'm not sure if it will be sellable to a mass audience (I have similar concerns about Rupert Friend). From some angles, he looks like Elvis's (Dominic's relative and not The King) brother.

  • I don't find Seydoux to be the most attractive Bond girl, but she's definitely up to the job in that department. She's a bit tom boyish, but she has an interesting look. I just don't find her especially charismatic as Madeleine. She doesn't own the …

  • I was just kidding around @CommanderRoss. I agree on your point that MP should be beautiful in a different way and I agree on the caring part too. I suppose where we differ is I've always imagined MP to also be wholesome in that old fashioned homely…
  • Thanks @Univex. It's just a thought given the film's release date. I can't imagine she's being brought back just to be dispensed with quickly, and she's no Tracy and so they'd be foolish to try to make her into one (I did a group viewing of OHMSS wi…
