Worthington looks the best to me as well. |

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
To get back to this little topic, i still find that Brosnan could have just continued onward.

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
rotfl at people suggesting Worthington would've been a good fit for the role.

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
I've seen atrocious movies. TND and TWINE aren't atrocious movies. I don't know if I could sincerely say DAD was atrocious either.
And Brosnan was never bad in any of them. Lumping the Bond films together by actor is easy and obvious but the idea falls apart if you pay any attention. Look at how different From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice are. Or Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only for that matter. Roger Moore isn't the one saying "we gotta reign this in after Moonraker!" and similarly I can assure you Brosnan wasn't behind all the "atrocious" things in Bonds 17-20. I'm a big fan of the three Daniel Craig Bonds so I have no complaints but I believe Brosnan was up to the task of playing Bond in a well-written, well-directed film. |

I'll take Moore's "worst" over Brosnan's non-Godeneye features anyday. |

Honestly, Octopussy isn't much better. At least Brosnan was trying. O/T but it's impossible to convince your daughter that Brosnan was once the pinnacle of cool once she's seen him wail like a dying cat during musical numbers in Mamma Mia. |

You might have been onto something there Groucho!

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
*closes eyes tightly* Jennifer Lawrence looks more like my sex slave than Katniss Everdeen to me.:shrug:

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
That was awesome Groucho.
BTW, to all the naysayers that couldn't believe Craig would get the role all you had to do was watch Layer Cake to see that he would be the clear winner. |
Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
We've been Grouchoed! That last post was his only one in this thread.
Well played, sir. |
Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
That is ... scary. Very scary.

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
Damn, Groucho!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
I've only seen Casino Royale thus far and based on that, I'd still rather have Brosnan in the suit.

He wasn't really known at the time, although maybe that help explains why he was suggested. |
Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
Worthington would be the most forgettable Bond ever.

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
If it wasn't for Skyfall stamping that Bond has a history, I'd still argue that Idris Elba would be awesome.

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
My main issue with casino Royale is that it could have been condensed a bit more. Either way I love it.

Trying to figure out the continuity even between individual movies is usually a futile exercise. CR and QOS lead directly into one another, but trying to figure out the timeline is usually just going to drive you nuts.

Re: Pierce Brosnan won't be back as James Bond
To wit: Bond & Blofeld come face-to-face in "You Only Live Twice". In the next movie ("On Her Majesty's Secret Service"), Bond goes undercover at Blofeld's secret lab/base/whatever, and Blofeld doesn't recognize him.
There's really no continuity. Despite the pleas of many to the contrary... |
