Just some petty mutterings about crappy casting

[goteam]

So. If you were in charge of the James Bond movies, and you knew Pierce Brosnan was retiring from the title role, which of the following actors would you choose to replace him?

1. Ewan "Obi Wan" McGregor,
2. Jude "Gigolo Joe/Sky Captain" Law,
   
   or:
   
3. 
   Eric "The Hulk/Troy" Bana?

jude law would definitely be the better bond. ewan mcgregor just wouldn't clean up well enough i don't think.

[goteam]

Ewan McGregor cleans up okay, but Jude Law is ever so much smoooooooother. Eric Bana wouldn't know smooth if... gah. I can't even come up with a snarky metaphor.

But on the other hand, Ewan could totally deliver all the cheesy lines. Jude is usually a more serious actor, but he's also hotter. They both move nice. I could deal with either.

I sure hope this other guy isn't another Roger Moore. Why'd they have to piss off Brosnan?!

I'd be much more likely to watch future Bond movies if Ewan "great teeth" McGregor were to be featured.

[goteam]

Yeah, I'm for Jude Law, pretty much all the way. But then again, if someone made a movie of Ewan McGregor brushing his teeth, I'd probably go see it. So I don't know. Really, what I'm trying to say is that someone should trap Eric Bana in a paper bag and then, when he can't act his way out of it, leave him in there. It'd be fine, really. Hell, get me a big paper bag. I'll do it.

I still get furious when I hear people refer to Pierce Brosnon as "Bond". Honestly, the only good bonds were Connery and Moore. Everyone else pales in comparison.

ooooh ooh me

I can do dry one-liners and use gadgets. They should let me do it.
I think I'll go practice my vodka martini drinking to get ready.

Can you make a banal action like flicking a match look sexy? That's the most important part of being Bond. That and being a cunning linguist.
