In the 80's, when they couldn't get Pierce Brosnan, but before they picked Dalton, they gave serious consideration to Christopher Reeve.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

To my eternal shame, I had to look up Dominic West on the IMDB. I have seen him in precisely nothing, methinks. He does rather look the part though, which I think is half the battle.

[smacks forehead] How could Northam have escaped my mind in a discussion of possible Bonds? He's perfect.

Yuh-huh. I was watching Cypher a few months ago and he just clicked in my brain as Bond.
What's the name of that chap from Spooks? In a very non-imaginative way, I can see him as Bond.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, Northam would rock as Bond. Yum.

I have just, belatedly, finished all the posts I skipped to get my two Bond cents in. Please to not call Irish people British. Unless they're from Northern Ireland, in which case feel free to do so, though some of them might not like it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, Blade II is pretty cool. It's all shiny and new, and the special effects are much better, except when the combatants turn into video game characters during fight scenes. The vampire chick can't act, but she was hot. And there was Ron Perlman. Guillermo del Toro once again proves he can make an entertaining movie out of a less-than-perfect script (I really ought to see Mimic again, just to see if I can figure out what he's doing right). I think the first movie has a stronger story, even though it wasn't all that hot either. So, Sean, I don't think I can agree with you that it's better in every way, but it definitely wasn't the suckfest the haters made it out to be.
