You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Maybe Jessica Simpson would be the new Bond Girl.

"Bond. James Bond."

"Like Bond-O?"

"Excuse me?"

"Are you a mechanic?"

"No, I'm...well, I can't tell you what I..."

"Is that water?"

"No, it's a martini. Shaken, not stirred."

"With lemon juice?"

"What?"

"Aren't they made with lemon juice?"

"No, they're made with vermouth and..."

"I went skiing in Vermouth once. Nick wasn't very good at it."

"You...I...WHAT?!"

"Is caviar made with snails?"

**ZORT!**

"Dizzy bim."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Clive already turned down Bond, so it's not going to happen.

Clive unturning it down to save it from the hands of Orlando isn't that farfetched, is it? I'd take the role to protect it.

If we can't have Clive Owen, can we please have James Purefoy? Pretty please?

Orlando Bloom? Maybe as a love interest. In my mind.

Orli as Bond girl?

I'm all for that.

Strawberry disappointment.

Always thought AD could do a good Bond.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I know you're living in SF now, so I'll go slowly, but I would like to introduce you to a concept we like to call "money." For our second lesson, we will discuss "lots of it."

Pfft. I'd stack our Opera Opening versus yours anyday.

Clive went out of his way to shit on the whole Bond franchise and insult the producers. So he kind of burned his bridges.

However, as Shawn notes, you can build a lot of bridges if you have enough money. Who knows - it could come around.

Compassionately intolerant

Hey Kids, first time in this thread...first day as a Buffista. I'm so proud!

Much as I like Hugh Jackman...and I really, really do...he's too sweet to be Bond. I read in an interview with Brian Singer that the director tried to get HJ to be really angry in an Xmen scene, so he said something like 'pretend you had a terrible fight with your wife.' Hugh got terribly distressed and said something like,'That won't work. If I'd had a fight with my wife, I'd be crying right now.' Everybody say awwww.

Bond needs an edge...so Clive would be perfect...or, if he weren't so, um, b>him...Val Kilmer. I know, I know, he's not British. Then again, niether is James Marsters. Now THERE's an idea...

move out and draw fire

Hi Beej! Welcome! Of course now I've got this image of a bleach-blond Bond.

Which isn't a bad thing.
