I stumbeled over this in a Norwegian online paper, and found it a bit amusing. Now, I'm not a big fan of Daniel Craig as the new Bond, in fact I was very dissapointed by the choiche...
But anyway, here's the story:


CraigNotBond.com News Update:
Angry Bond Fans Publish CraigNotBond.com website,
Call for Worldwide Boycott of Casino Royale

Dateline: February 20, 2006 - An international group of lifelong James Bond fans
announced the publication of a new website, www.craignotbond.com, in order to
launch a boycott of the upcoming Bond film, Casino Royale. Chief among their
concerns is Bond producer Barbara Broccoli's questionable decision to fire popular
Bond star Pierce Brosnan and replace him with an unknown with a penchant for
oddball roles, Daniel Craig.

There were worse alternatives, if you ask me. *cough*OrlandoBloom*cough*

Btw, did you get to watch X-files?

I'll have to second that! lol ;) I didn't care for this casting at first either, but i'm going to give him a chance.

If you see some X-files, please tell me which ones!

He just bugs me, never liked the guy. Just something about him makes him unsympathetic in my eyes.
I'd much rather have Pierce back.

I saw the first eppy last friday... was going to post about it.

Oh i'd totally take Pierce back too! At least for one more. Well I think in this movie they're modeling after the Bond in the novels.. and he is quite a cold bastard there. Also more serious, lacking humor, and really not that good looking. Maybe that's why they picked him, lol.

Oooh! Will look for that review.. :D

I think they should have given him a chance to be a 'real' Bond.
I know he has a scar in the books... but I do believe he's supposed to look better than Craig...
Sean Connery kind of did the cold bastard thing, I thing.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Yep, Sean was the best all around.. wish he could've stayed that age forever! :)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Very true. But I don't quite understand why they fired PIerce, he was great as Bond.

I did, was going to post about it. ;)

Ironic, since the original "Casino Royale" wasn't considered an actual Bond Film, even though just about everyone in that "comedy" was James Bond at one point!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the original, and don't know who's in it...
I knew it wasn't considered a 'real' Bond film though.
