'Shindig'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
A) I like Matthew Lilliard, hated the Scooby Doo movies. But he was the best part of Scream (well, the second best), he was great in SLC Punk, and he did this weird poker movie that I watched late one night with James Earl Jones that was pretty damn good.
B) Last night, in a drunken stupor, I found the perfect Bond, if we can get away with a bit of fey - Jonathon Rhys-Meyers.
So, where do you go to drink that you find JRM there?
Well, OK, we didn't so much FIND him there, as we were discussing the Bond dilemma, and after the fifth pint, it was just obvious.
I didn't think there'd be any suggestions more fey than Orlando, but that just goes to show me.

Really ita. Sometimes it's like you're not even trying.
Imagine JRM holding a gun, if you will, or ordering a drink that's not pink.
Though if Bond turned his sluttishness in a bi direction, he's precisely the person I'd pick.

Or running?
NO!!! NOT THE RUNNING!!!!!!1!

runs away, flailing arms & legs
Watching The Saint on BBC America (as we do in this department when Oprah's a repeat), it occurs to me that both Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan came to be Bond after essentially playing him on TV. Is anyone on MI-5 suave and 30-ish? Are there any other British spy shows out there right now?
