Bob, yes, he is on a sailboat, enjoying the comforts of a super yacht, but he is not really sailing. I prefer the sailboat in Casino Royale. Bond did not have a crew to control the boat. That sailboat is similar to the one in The Talented Mr. Ripley, another fun movie.

I see...with his woman @ the control...sharing with him.


Peter, you have any thought about who you would like to see as the next James Bond? ...And the villain?

* 'Spectre' didn't have the best villain in Christoph Waltz...IMO
Waltz was a better villain in 'Inglourious Basterds'. ...And as a bounty hunter in 'Django Unchained'.

Bob, That's the clip. Eva Green. I understand why he submitted his resignation to M.

I'm not very good at casting. My favorite bonds are Connery and Craig. Two possible replacements depending on whether or not you want to capture Connery's charm and good looks or Craig's athleticism and grit are Ryan Gosling for the former and Chris Pine for the latter. No idea about villains. Best guess is Christian Bale or Kevin Spacey.

Peter, these people are very interesting choices; you have some aptitude @ casting actors...Hollywood would be proud. :b

Lol ...good one Jack.

* Looking @ Bond's history, 007 was usually wearing darker hair ? http://www.bing.com/search?q=James+...-20&sk=&cvid=76D705086FB041C5885C939B9F94583F

Roger Moore had lighter hair color, and Daniel Craig the lighter one.

It's the villains that come in all hair colors. ...And the women too.

To me the most important aspect of the best Bond is the classy composed attitude, with all the traits in any circumstance.
...A free licence to kill by any means necessary; @ the service of her majesty the Queen and her kingdom. ...To serve and protect world's peace.

With the recent "events" ... more reason so to have Daniel Craig's return. His "steely" attitude with his blond hair have unparalleled equal; he's simply 'perfect'.
2018 ... till then the world has time to develop more towards chaos from even more vicious villains.

I like Viggo Mortensen for the next one, I think he's calm strength will bring a new dimension to Bond movies.

I like Viggo, but he makes me think more Craig.

Tom Hiddleston was mentioned, and I think he has the Charisma level. It'd be nice if he could bulk up a bit.

Lee Pace has some serious potential if he can turn on the charm and fire. He's got the risk of being too plain, but hey, that worked for Craig who's like watching a 2x4 grow it's minor potential of 1/8th in after framing...

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. He's kinda of tied up with GOT till he gets killed. But there's some potential there.




If I was really in charge I'd probably hold casting. It's hard to choose from today's actors that look like models that couldn't hack being tortured any farther than not getting their Fiji water on time on the set. They just look gutless. Hollywood has become disappointing on their inability to cast legends.

A Bond character has to be British, no? So how about a Sean Connery come-back in Never Bug Me Again

Ah, don't tell Sean Connery he is British. Technically yes.

Lucifer - if I am not mistaken Tom Ellis is British, if Welsh is considered British at this point [I have reasons for "considered", but site rules of engagement would probably not approve of my posting that news].
