And of COURSE this is what the watercooler is for. They are rebooting the Charlie's Angels TV series, it will be on ABC starting next fall. It promises to be one of the heaviest-promoted new series for next season, so fingers crossed! Minka Kelly plays an ex marine girl, who can certainly kick some ass when needed, so I would think that's an ideal token for her to then be a Bond girl! I am just so glad she's getting a big role now.
Ahh, thank you - good to know.... we have the new Sky Atlantic channel now over here in the UK - and there are shows on there I have never heard of.... but have some great reviews - it's about time, as I know the States and Canada have BBC America channel
We seem to get the shows that have mass appeal - but at least 3 season's behind the States - so I guess this is the place for all the Goss - although Ale, how come you know all this stuff? You're in Italy..... however you talk about all these glamourous parties... I take it your job gives you the inside track so to speak )
Just watched the trailer for X-Men First Class, I've seen Michael Fassbender in a number of films but the 60s setting popped him out as... maybe the best actor ever for embodying Fleming's Bond.

Oh Blue, I am begging you! Not you too. I saw that trailer (and I saw him in other films, too) and to me he is absolutely not Bond material. He's not refined, he's not good looking, he's not stylish. We've already had a run with Craig who is far enough from the Fleming description that fits Bond, it's most definitely time to get back to a much more traditional charming, good looking and stylish guy like Bond should be. And I'm sorry to say, I really don't think Fassbender fits the bill. At all. I'm sick and tired of random action types. I want a traditional Bond. Henry Cavill is it for me... my one and only future Bond :x
Lexi, I am often in the US... hence the parties and I work with the US all the time, and I work with US Television, too, so that's why I know this much
) Friday Night Lights is a fantastic show... it is about a small town in Texas, Dillon, where everything rotates around one big passion: football. So the football is the glue for the show, but it really is all about the lives of these young people (it's High School football) and their families, and their struggles with life. It's brilliantly written and acted. Minka Kelly was one of the leads on the show for three seasons, her character and Taylor Kitsch's character were my favorites, together with the characters played by Scott Porter and Gaius Charles. It's a brilliant show, and the series just ENDED last week in the US, I'm sure you would love it, so if you have time you can either watch it online or search for it on satellite.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm thinking of Bond how Fleming wrote him. Cavill looks like a beach boy to me, not Fleming's secret agent. Yeah I can see him as a movie Bond, sure, the way the character has evolved on film allows for such a pretty boy-Bond. But Fassbender has that lean and hawkish Fleming-quality about him, also charming (see Inglorius Basterds), and can carry himself in a fight (see Centurion). And for steely nerves, his amazing turn in Hunger dropped my jaw, just an amazing performance. Don't worry, we'll never see him in the role as he's age-appropriate now and likely will be too old when Craig is done as Bond, and as you lump him in with Craig as unfit for the role makes me think he would make a Bond I'd like, lol. )

enjoying this "debate" from afar (in Singapore and just watched inglorious b'stards on the plane over ) and I have to agree with blueman and of course miss megapins
fassbender would easily step into dc's shoes and make a good job of it - he has screen presence and that's what's missing in so many of the "toys" that could be up for the role when dc hangs his holster.
Ale, I'm left wondering what you'd think if u met him (or just plain ignored his gaze In a club) in person... I'm prepared to bet you'd change your mind.
On the frock-slide I'm now officially on lust with Jenifer Lawrence! Woe that is some package - almost too well wrapped to want to disturb the wrapping
almost- but not quite.....
as to miss frost, Lexi is right ... Bless....
Shame was enjoying this chat but just been invited to a complementary bubble bath in the spar... I'm left wondering if Singapore hotels are anything like
the japanese versions and will I get to "live" more than twice?
Was reading a blurb about Ms Lawrence in the X-Men film coming out this summer, they had her on a special diet she apparently hated plus lots of workouts to maintain that form shown above, as her character spends a lot of time in the film naked and painted blue (she's Mystique as a teenager, played in the other X-Men films by Rebecca Romijn, also naked and blue, lol). What sacrifices these gals (and guys ala male actors buffing up for a role) do for their art. -{

Mmmmmmmmm interesting ......
Looks like the blue paint on her (exceptional) top half has run somewhat...
Blue see this is exactly where we disagree. I do NOT think Craig is Fleming's Bond at all. And I do NOT think Fassbender has ANY of Fleming's Bond either. Fleming describes a refined, stylish, suave, gourmet and irresistibly attractive fella in Casino Royale. That's got nothing to do with what they put on screen with Daniel Craig, and Fassbender is more of the same thing IMO. While instead I think Cavill is EXACTLY what Fleming describes in Casino Royale. And sorry, I completely disagree he looks like "a beach boy". I take it you clearly haven't seen him in the Tudors, or any other film of his, or you wouldn't be making such statements. He's definitely not that type of guy or actor. The closest to Fleming so far was Timothy Dalton, and sure as hell Henry Cavill is much more of that type than Craig or Fassbender will ever be. Not to mention Cavill is also the right AGE to be a good investment for the franchise.
Lexi, we will NEVER fight over men. That is now clear ) ) And it's great! :d That Fassbender photo IMO has got nothing stylish or charming. Least of all attractive as Bond should be. And I've had enough of that with Craig. BTW, what did you do to Craig Lexi? ) He looked dreadful in that photo! )
Also, the Fassbender photo above doesn't display his actual hair color (reddish... and not in a good way).
Seriously? This has absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, of the Fleming idea and description of Bond.
I'm also pretty sure, and I say this by reports from people who actually deal with it, that they ARE going back to a much more traditional Bond after Craig is gone (and thank God for that). After booking a loss with QoS there was quite a shift and more than one person involved in production expressed perplexity at the current direction, and once Craig is done (which, sorry, I hope coincides with Bond 23, he can have his trilogy and then leave) things will definitely be brought back to a much more traditional Bond. (again, thank God for that).
Noooow, about those dresses
Eva Green: what in the world is wrong with that woman? It's as if she spends time trying to look the uglier as possible on the red carpet. That dress is just horrid. Shapeless, and with decor in all the wrong places, it makes her even look like she has a beer belly! I won't even get started on hair and makeup. All wrong. She needs to understand the bright red lipstick looks horrendous on her, especially since she has gotten a strange shade of brown done to her hair. It looks reddish in photos, and with that make-up it just makes matters worse.
Rosamunde Pike's dress looks fabulous compared, but I trust it looked worse on screen ) Certainly not an ideal choice, but she's so pretty it's not as bad as the Eva Green one.
Agreed on Jennifer Lawrence, she looks great. Love the dress, hair and makeup, and she's in great shape (so whatever diet they put her on, she should be thankful ) I have no idea how she looked like before but she's in great shape there, so she better consider keeping up with it instead of complaining ) ).
"Are we on coms?" (if you don't know where this is from... you've missed some really good stuff! )
Fleming's description is so vague, it can be twisted to fit Steve Perry, lol.
And no, I've never seen Cavill act, he just doesn't ring any Fleming-Bond bells for me to look at. But really Fleming's Bond isn't a visual, he was purposely vague with his description IMO, easier to project onto it what one wants. Fleming's Bond is a feel that does encompass an actor like Craig (a billion dollars gross over two films tells me this, lol), and in a different vein Fassbender. IMHO.
Cavill may do it for me if I see him in action, that was what did it for me with Craig (and the hypothetical Fassbender Bond).

Well you served a coup de grace with that pic of fassbender.....
Definitely not bond...
That said this pic of him with olga kurelyenko is an interesting comparison with DC in QoS
After my wife was asking a similar question, she watched every entire episode from the Tudors, especially one from the first season, because there he is butt-naked

thx BT...
guess that would allow me to experience his full range of talents
I've been staying out of Fassbender debate because I knew nothing about him but after some research I have to agree with ..... Alessandra !!!
Fassbender is not my cup of tea. Plus, if Bond is going ginger (after DC landing the gig anything is possible) there is only one possible contender .... Damian Lewis :x
As for poor, poor Eva ..... I am again speechless. She is like a poor mans Helena Bonham Carter but without the quirkiness to get away with it ....
Lexi, we will NEVER fight over men. That is now clear ) ) And it's great! :d That Fassbender photo IMO has got nothing stylish or charming. Least of all attractive as Bond should be. And I've had enough of that with Craig. BTW, what did you do to Craig Lexi? ) He looked dreadful in that photo! )
Really? Ah well, I guess each their own, no point in arguing about it - I see something different - I guess like how I :x Daniel, and you :x Cavill...... but I think we've been here before )
Seriously? This has absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, of the Fleming idea and description of Bond.
Okay, you've got me there - that isn't a great pic.... however the jury is still out for me. Although I don't ever think they would choose a red head for Bond.... (a whole other debate ) ) this isn't the look I want for him either.... so
However, I do think that is a particularly bad pic....
now this one.....
.....you must admit that has a Cavill look to it.... {:) )

) that is actually a very fitting definition for poor Eva. Helena Bonham Carter can carry out the totally wrong looks because she is so quirky that well, people expect it and forgive it. But Eva Green... poor girl really needs someone to tell her "see how you think you look great while looking at yourself in the mirror in this attire and make-up? Darling, you do not!" )
Fassbender really and I mean REALLY is all wrong for Bond IMO. Not just in terms of completely wrong looks (why would I want an actor who will need to dye and ahem, replenish his hair and wear contacts to even remotely look the part?) but mainly in terms of utter and complete lack of style. (Uh, no Craig didn't get it after becoming Bond IMO if that's what I was about to be asked ) ). I completely agree on Damian Lewis. If they want someone who needs a hair-dye to be Bond, then he's the man. Surely looks a lot more like Bond both in terms of plain looks and in terms of style than someone like Fassbender ever will.
Anyway Fassbender is one of the front-runners to replace Matt Damon in the fourth Bourne movie (as he should be, since he is absolutely and completely Bourne material, not Bond material), so hopefully he'll be cast in that one, Lexi will be able to enjoy him and he won't need hair dying and such as he won't be Bond )
Lexi re:the above photo. Ahem, not like Cavil!! ) And... that photo has a level of photoshop in it (including the eye color) that it's not even funny! But, again, it's ALL good. You can have him as second option (first one being Daniel Craig, right?) and enjoy him as much as you like! See, it all works perfectly
Paul: Henry Cavill has two movies out later this year, one around or before the summer and one in November. The first one especially, The Cold Light of Day, is an action movie where he is the lead, so that will give you an idea, although he doesn't play anyone British and/or stylish in it.
I really, really see the Bond quality in him in just about everything he's done, it really is the attitude, his way of moving, voice, style. The man is a class-act in real life too, so that obviously helps. But, I think The Tudors, while being in costume, really showcases his Bond quality. He basically plays Bond at Henry VIII's time there! Try just the first season if you aren't into historical dramas. It's only 10 episodes per season so it's not like it's impossibly long. And there are 4 seasons in total. I recommend the fourth season, too, as they aged his character in terms of looks for story reasons, and he played an obviously much more mature man than the man he was in season 1. The way he is around women and just the way he moves, the attitude.. it's all Bond.
) of course your wife has good taste Bondtoys! And, that scene where Henry is butt-naked is also actually a very funny scene in a very Bond-like way. The dialogue when the father of the girl arrives and points the sword at him is hilarious. And his attitude there? Pure Bond )
I was just suggested today another option, just in case, and I have to say, I watched a couple of episodes of the series and this guy is great! Actually, it was spydaddy who suggested the guy. His name is Clive Standen. He played Archer in the BBC's Robin Hood. Well, this guy really has the looks and the attitude, too. Such a great find! He is not Henry Cavill, BUT he's a great plan B just in case. And, definitely a very good actor. I'm going to watch the rest of the series to have a better informed opinion, but from what I have seen, I'm definitely sold.
Blue: actually in Casino Royale Fleming gives a very detailed description of Bond, in various different points of different chapters. But it is indeed very detailed. AND the words dark-haired, tall, handsome, blue eyes definitely are all there. Then there's the scar, the expression on his face while he sleeps, the hair on his forehead... the fact Vesper finds him very attractive and says he looks like Hoagy Carmichael (which of course was the "benchmark" for good-looking man back then, just a way of saying the man was definitely conventionally good-looking), all that. And of course there are a lot of details about his style, his clothes, him being a man of habit and his refined taste, his love for gourmet foods and for gambling at the casino... his mingling with the "upper crust". It's for sure detailed and sorry to say, it definitely does not apply to a Fassbender type IMO. As it doesn't apply to Craig either as far as I'm concerned, in fact I never bought him as Bond.
Lexi... you better get working on a schedule for your man, because he seems to be pretty busy, and that Rachel temporary girlfriend must not be left the time to ruin your plans to spend time with Craig! )
"Are we on coms?" (if you don't know where this is from... you've missed some really good stuff! )
I had missed the photo of the outfit above! GOOD LORD! That is... I can't even find the words. Atrocious doesn't quite cover it. Disturbingly bad? Quite disgusting? The epitome of bad taste? )
It is vulgar, or rather, flat-out slutty, cheap, and underlines ALL the faults of that "woman's" body. How can one even think about something like that? Not on the red carpet... in a whole life, period! )
And I have been indeed busy with the Oscars. Favorite looks: Reese Witherspoon who was completely 60s classy, Sandra Bullock who looked great in red (though the back of the dress with that puffing thing on her bottom wasn't ideal, but I'll overlook), Gwyneth Paltrow who had quite an unusual and IMO GORGEOUS Calvin Klein dress, and a couple of the ones Anne Hathaway wore. Plus the dress Céline Dion had on the red carpet: she looked great in it! Not to mention the huge emerald necklace she had to go with it! )
Thankfully the only present Bond girl, Halle Berry, had a decent dress this time. Not one of my favorites, but nothing like the horrid thing she had on at the Golden Globes! She looked pretty in it, and not like Morticia Addams ) Oh, and considering it was a maternity dress, Natalie Portman looked great, too.
"Are we on coms?" (if you don't know where this is from... you've missed some really good stuff! )

Anyway Fassbender is one of the front-runners to replace Matt Damon in the fourth Bourne movie (as he should be, since he is absolutely and completely Bourne material, not Bond material), so hopefully he'll be cast in that one, Lexi will be able to enjoy him and he won't need hair dying and such as he won't be Bond
Lexi re:the above photo. Ahem, not like Cavil!!
Paul: Henry Cavill has two movies out later this year, one around or before the summer and one in November. The first one especially, The Cold Light of Day, is an action movie where he is the lead, so that will give you an idea, although he doesn't play anyone British and/or stylish in it.
I really, really see the Bond quality in him in just about everything he's done, it really is the attitude, his way of moving, voice, style. The man is a class-act in real life too, so that obviously helps. But, I think The Tudors, while being in costume, really showcases his Bond quality. He basically plays Bond at Henry VIII's time there! Try just the first season if you aren't into historical dramas. It's only 10 episodes per season so it's not like it's impossibly long. And there are 4 seasons in total. I recommend the fourth season, too, as they aged his character in terms of looks for story reasons, and he played an obviously much more mature man than the man he was in season 1. The way he is around women and just the way he moves, the attitude.. it's all Bond.
I was just suggested today another option, just in case, and I have to say, I watched a couple of episodes of the series and this guy is great! Actually, it was spydaddy who suggested the guy. His name is Clive Standen. He played Archer in the BBC's Robin Hood. Well, this guy really has the looks and the attitude, too. Such a great find! He is not Henry Cavill, BUT he's a great plan B just in case. And, definitely a very good actor. I'm going to watch the rest of the series to have a better informed opinion, but from what I have seen, I'm definitely sold.
Blue: actually in Casino Royale Fleming gives a very detailed description of Bond, in various different points of different chapters. But it is indeed very detailed. AND the words dark-haired, tall, handsome, blue eyes definitely are all there. Then there's the scar, the expression on his face while he sleeps, the hair on his forehead... the fact Vesper finds him very attractive and says he looks like Hoagy Carmichael (which of course was the "benchmark" for good-looking man back then, just a way of saying the man was definitely conventionally good-looking), all that. And of course there are a lot of details about his style, his clothes, him being a man of habit and his refined taste, his love for gourmet foods and for gambling at the casino... his mingling with the "upper crust". It's for sure detailed and sorry to say, it definitely does not apply to a Fassbender type IMO. As it doesn't apply to Craig either as far as I'm concerned, in fact I never bought him as Bond.
Lexi... you better get working on a schedule for your man, because he seems to be pretty busy, and that Rachel temporary girlfriend must not be left the time to ruin your plans to spend time with Craig!
It is vulgar, or rather, flat-out slutty, cheap, and underlines ALL the faults of that "woman's" body.
And I have been indeed busy with the Oscars. Favorite looks: Reese Witherspoon who was completely 60s classy, Sandra Bullock who looked great in red (though the back of the dress with that puffing thing on her bottom wasn't ideal, but I'll overlook), Gwyneth Paltrow who had quite an unusual and IMO GORGEOUS Calvin Klein dress, and a couple of the ones Anne Hathaway wore. Plus the dress Céline Dion had on the red carpet: she looked great in it! Not to mention the huge emerald necklace she had to go with it!
Thankfully the only present Bond girl, Halle Berry, had a decent dress this time. Not one of my favorites, but nothing like the horrid thing she had on at the Golden Globes! She looked pretty in it, and not like Morticia Addams
