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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Honestly, I like Damian Lewis but I'm not sure I see that. I mean, he would look good in a tux, but the roles I've seen him in do not make me think "yes, next Bond"
So are we going to get outcry that Bond is not red-haired?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like Damian Lewis but I don't see him as Bond, at all. Timothy Dalton was my favorite Bond.

Out of the list in Tom's link, I think I'd like Richard Armitage best. His Royal Broodiness is already established.
ETA: Other than Idris Elba, I mean. If Brits make the movie, I can see it happening. Americans, NSM.

If they can't seems to give us a ginger Doctor Who, I see no reason why Bond should overcome that stigma. ::sulks::

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am always surprised by the anti-ginger sentiment in Britain.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
No kidding. I've always thought redheads were awesome and wondered why "beaten like a red-headed stepchild" was even a saying until I found out about the British antipathy.

Is it an anti-Irish/Scots thing, you think? Or even back to the Saxon invasions?
