    International man of...

    Controversy?

    Who knew that the latest choice for the infamous James Bond syndicate, Daniel Craig -- a.k.a. "James Blonde" -- would get such bad reviews before his movie has even been shot?

    For me, the James Bond movies lost their appeal when I exited puberty. I guess they were cool when I was 15 (and even then, I had to taste to know that Sean Connery was the hot one), but notsomuchanymore (about James Bond movies; I still think Sir Sean is a hottie). But some really do care. There's even a protest website complaining that Dan just ain't the man, that he's the wrong guy for the job and that all Bond fans of good conscience should boycott the movie:
    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.
    While I can't say that I share these folks' passion of the casting, I do applaud their activism generally.

    Now, I've always thought Ewan McGregor would be a hot choice to wear the tux and play with the guns and gadgets. Just my personal opinion. No attendant protest website.


    But ain't he cute?

    (okay, for some reason, the link to the picture of EM isn't working... but I don't know why -- sorry! hopefully, she of little technological literacy can figure it out soon)
