Yeah, that would really help. The new bond films with Bronsnan have been way to thin on plot.
He was great in "In the Mouth of Madness"
The first "bond" was American CIA agent Jimmy Bond. No american has ever played British Mi-6 agent JAMES BOND. A matter of semantics, but an important one.
I agree. I'm more of a spy thriller type gal, but Neill did a great job in Mouth of Madness. I think he is one of the better character actors out there. Everyone sees him, but they don't say, "Look, it's Sam Neill". I have talked to people who say they don't know who he is but when I say, the guy who played Alan Grant in JP, they always say, "oh,yeah". The great Alec Guinness was the same. A terrific character actor.
I'm with you on that. Connery was just awesome in that role. No one has come close.
Yes and the semantics are that it was Casino Royale and the character was James Bond.
