"Daniel Craig is James Bond like a dalmatian is a fireman"
http://www.wwtdd.com/



Daniel Craig has often been criticized as too fey to play James Bond. Since filming began on the remake of 'Casino Royale', stories have surfaced saying he couldn't drive the famous Aston Martin because he didn't know how to drive a stick and he had two teeth knocked out in the films very first stunt sequence. Now comes tale that Craig has been bested by the most ruthless villain of all - the sun. James Bond has a sunburn. And its killing him.

"It's driving him mad. He constantly wants to scratch. It's worst when he does a costume change. He is in agony. Daniel has been moaning to his assistants that he's got (a sunburn). He is extremely wary of being outside now."


This is pretty much a microcosm of most actors. They look hunky and tough after 20 hours of choreographed fight footage cut down to 30 seconds, but they're mostly completely useless. Daniel Craig is James Bond like a dalmatian is a fireman.

2. He COULD!
Time and time again I've heard people say that "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was the movie closest in tone to the Fleming novels. I thought it was a great little flick...how can you beat Telly Savalas as Blofeld and Diana Rigg as "the Bond girl?"

I think that Daniel Craig will do the same thing for the James Bond franchise that George Clooney did for Batman (and I'm a fan of Clooney in things like "From Dusk Till Dawn," but come awwwwwwwnnnnn..."Batman & Robin" was triple-dog-dare-you awful).

I also think we'll see the one lone Craig flick and another half-decade will pass before Bond shows up on the silver screen again, with someone else in the lead.

:evilgrin:
