OMG! They picked an ACTOR!

The new James Bond was announced to little fanfare - I caught in in the Standard tonight. No less that DANIEL CRAIG!

For those of you who don't know the man he is an absolutely superb actor. He has been particularly notable in some brilliant British TV dramas, Our Friends From the North and Mother Love are two of my faves. He was also in Love is ( Read more... )

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby Daddy.

Two other words: Layer Cake. That's all I needed. That man holding a gun is hotter than any other man I have ever seen. Seriously.

minitrog October 11 2005, 22:45:49 UTC

Yeah man. I didn't even think to mention Layer Cake. Mum and I watched it together, drooling all the while. Squ-fucking-eee!

I watched that entire film on the edge of my seat, because I couldn't keep my eyes off him. The arms, the legs, the *arse*. I honestly thought he was too good to be Bond, if that makes sense.

too good to be Bond

Which is exactly what all his fans are saying. They seem to feel that it's a total come-down for him.

Personally I feel that it he does it, it will raise the standard of Bond immesurably. This is a *good* thing. *g*

I was kinding of hoping for Alexis Denisof. I keep hoping he'll get something because he's so pretty and he can be so dark, as we learned in the later seasons of Angel.

Your guy is gorgeous though. I'm not familiar with him at all, but I'm glad you're excited!

minitrog October 11 2005, 22:47:02 UTC

Oh God! Now you've said it and I'm totally convinced! Alexis Denisof would have been *perfect* as Bond. Dammit.

Ow! Ow! Conflicted! Aaaagh!

When I met him at Oakland, and OMG OMG OMG OMG he's so beautiful, my friend and I told him we hoped he'd be chosen for Bond, and he said, "Oh my, what a wonderful thought. From your lovely lips to God's ears."

He's about a billion times infinity better looking in person than he is on TV and in pictures. He's also oh so very very very kind and charming to the fans. Aly is one lucky lady indeed.

Sorry to make you feel conflicted;)

I had my finger crossed that Alexis Denisof would get it.
*sniffs*

If it weren't for my lurve for Daniel Craig, I would go with that 100%. As it is, damn!

Two Bonds perhaps - Parallel Universe fic? *g*

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!

What a wonderful choice...I love Daniel Craig.

minitrog October 11 2005, 23:31:21 UTC

And you know, I never would have considered him for the role before they started to bandy his name about. Excellent!

probodie October 11 2005, 23:36:38 UTC

Me either...I thought for sure Clive Owen would get the role...

But wooo good for them :-)) Thanks for sharing the good news - seems like we've been waiting for ages for it :-))

minitrog October 12 2005, 05:01:31 UTC

Oh, and that is one cool icon. Excellent!
