The New Bond?
Feb. 28th, 2005 02:25 pm'Nip/Tuck' Star in "Final Two" To Play BondWow... first time since I heard that Pierce Brosnon won't be reprising Bond that I actually approve of an actor rumored to be the next Bond. Heard that Ewan McGregor rumor? Pfft, don't be ridiculous. Amd I know there are people who really like Clive Owen and want him to be Bond, but personally he does nothing for me, he doesn't look like a Bond, he doesn't act like one, he just wouldn't be a good Bond. I've been a long-time fan of James Bond, I've seen all the movies, I know all the villains and Bond girls and henchmen... and I've always really really loved Brosnan as Bond. I thought he was perfect. If it wouldn't be sacrilegious to say that he even is better than Sean Connery I would. But... I'm not. Because Connery IS Bond. No doubt about that. But after him, it's Brosnan. And Clive... Clive is about as suitable was Timothy Dalton was. Which means, not at all. Sorry. That's just my opinion, of course.
Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon is competing against one other unnamed actor to become the next James Bond. The Australian-born star of the TV cosmetic surgery drama will find out in the next few months if he has been chosen to follow in Pierce Brosnan's footsteps as the next 007 in the hugely successful spy-series. The other contender is believed to be British actor Clive Owen - who was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Julia Roberts' husband in Closer. The 36-year-old says, "I'm a big James Bond fan. I met the producers for a final audition. They told me to expect a decision in a couple of months and they said it was between me and one other person. It's going to a very nervous wait."
Anyway, should McMahon nab the role I'll be a very happy camper. It'll be a comfort for the fact that Brosnan-Bond will be no more. *nods* And since I'm already babbling about this... why not make a poll! I'm curious now.
Rate the Bond! Who do you think was the best Bond so far? Who the worst? Just rate them from 1 to 5! ^^
[Poll #445701]
EDIT: Okay I'm a total dumbass and filled my own survey out wrong! hahaha ^^;;;; Okay... Let's say 5 is best and 1 is worst then, okay? *changes up and hopes the other survey takers meant that... since I can't imagine someone making Sean Connery the worst Bond...*
