I have a sneaking suspicion that's not the big obstacle in their way.

This is why I should be in charge of everything. "It's not that he's Chinese, it's that he's too old!"

I really don't care so much about who's going to be Bond. Is Judi Dench going to continue as M, and what about Q?

Is Judi Dench going to continue as M, and what about Q?

Let's satisfy everyone! Chow Yun-Fat as M, and Don Cheadle as Q.

Although, really, they really need Kevin Weisman as Q. Cause.

There was a movie with Clive Owen AND Alan Rickman?

Also, to me Clive Owen looks to thoughtful to be completely thuggish -- but I'm not English and I don't get the accent thing.

It's called Close my Eyes I think. Clive is naked in it, a lot. Not a great film, but, you know, naked Clive and some interesting clothed moments as well.

ETA--I saw Intimacylast night. It starts a Mark Rylance, who is a very well-respected stage actor who does the occasional movie. This film had an actual blow job (or I guess shots of one) in it on release, which caused a big stir at the time, but it was cut for cable TV. It's about a couple who meet once a week for anonymous sex, until, inevitably, it all goes bad. Rylance and Kerry Fox, the female lead, were both very good, very nuanced, and the always brilliant Timothy Spall is excellent but the film didn't ultimately seem to amount to much. Once you get past the, wow, these sex scenes are very realistic, aren't they? factor, the rest of the story is awfully slight with delusions of profundity.

I don't know Eric Bana from Adam, so I can't really opine on what kind of Bond he'd make, but I do think that either Jackman or Owen could have filled out the tux nicely. Ah well.

Saw Down with Love the other day. Very cute!

Sue was right. Now Coming Soon.net is reporting that Bana hasn't even been approached to be Bond and AFP picked up the report from the News of the World.

I just happened upon "How to Steal a Million." I had NO IDEA Peter O'Toole was so disturbingly sexy. Brilliant, yes, I knew that, but he's so smooth and charming and adorable. I think I only know him from his more character-y roles. And Audrey Hepburn..perfection as always. Why have I never seen this charming little confection?

HTSAM has to be my favorite vintage O'Toole. It was where I first encountered him, and his blue, blue eyes. He and Hepburn were just divine together, even though both of them did grittier stuff authentically. O'Toole didn't get to do light comedy often.

I have trouble deciding if "Million" with O'Toole is my favorite Hepburn movie, or the much more well-known Charade, with Grant.

Just got back from watching De-Lovely.

Well... the songs were nice.
