apollaToday, I learned that Pierce Brosnan won't be returning for a fifth Bond outing. Wah. I'd been hoping he'd return one last time, not least because he's good at it, but mostly because Die Another Day wasn't great.
Then I developed a headache to go with the feeling sick yesterday. It is still with me as I write.
Then Michelle linked me to a story (can't find the link now) suggesting that Orlando Bloom will be taking over as a younger Bond. Can we all say NO really fucking loudly? I hope it's as unconfirmed as I think it is. Just NO. Bond's perfection lies in his experience and worldliness. In fifteen years time, I'll be the first to say HELL YES to Bloom as Bond (see icon) but not yet. Get James Purefoy to fill in for a few movies and have done with it.
Headache still here. Getting worse. Saw Garfield: The Movie earlier. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but my beloved Garfield was much too cruel to Odie at the start. Garfield treats him horribly but in a comic way. I felt bad for Odie. ODIE for crying out loud! Fortunately that passed.
Am now going to bed. Bah humbug.

I've never been much for Bond films. The machismo makes me want to retch. Although have to agree, Bloom is way too, teenyboppy, for the role. Die Another Day was that horrible? Well, with Halle Berry's current string of films, not at all surprised. I just read the summary for Catwoman: a skin cream that is addictive and deadly. It's like a plot reject form the Austin Powers movies.

Date: 2004-07-29 07:40 (UTC)I've never thought of Bond as being especially macho, actually- certainly when compared to anything starring a Sylvester, Arnold or Dolph. Maybe I'm just an action movie kind of person and don't notice so much! DAD wasn't terrible, it was just a little blah.
And that skin cream thing sounds very Batman-y, so I can't say I'm surprised! If it were in Austin it would be a special shagadelic love potion rather than skin cream!
