James Bond's a fucking scouser!!!

[MorganGrayson]

*sad sigh*

The announcement of the "new Bond" caused a certain difficulty in my house. My husband was a fan of the books. He still has the paperbacks, lovingly preserved, "grab in case of fire" stuff. (President Kennedy was a fan, thus ensuring Fleming's US sales.) Sean Connery was James Bond. In his movies, he did "spy stuff."

Roger Moore was never James Bond. Moore, who so rocked in "The Saint," was a walking excuse for outlandish plots, special effects and storylines that stretched crediblity until it was way past the snapping point.

George Lazenby, in his one appearance, was decent. He got to marry the gorgeous Diana Rigg, the late Mrs. Bond.

I liked Timothy Dalton a lot, because he did look like he'd kill a person and enjoy doing so.

I didn't like Pierce Brosnon. The PC people had hit the scripts; he always looked like a smart ass; the feel was all wrong. Many nice things can be said about Halle Berry...but I still think Ursula Andress knocks her over the left field fence.

The blonde guy? *sigh* Well, we'll end up owning his movie because my husband will want his collection to be complete...but geeze....
