Ralph Fiennes, Hugh Grant or Jude Law

Good call.

What about Peter Townsend or Robbie Williams?

[civilian_number_two]

Carefuly, Civilian... or you'll end up with no guns on - 40 Health.

You must mean "Slappers Only!" Yeah, all chicks, slapppers only. High times.

Also, throwing knives for the finesse players. you have to play low health for that one.

------------

I don't like Robbie Williams, and I don't even know who Peter townsend is. I think Bond has to be a famous actor, since it's such a huge series. I think that's what hurt Lazenby and Dalton. Even Roger Moore, suck that he did, came off THE SAINT and had a household name.

Of course, if PT is a famous actor and I just don't know him, let me know. Nothing came up in imdb. Is he a musician?

[Jordan]

Sorry, Stuart Townsend.

Check out the photo gallery of him. He's a bit of a ponce. But so was Moore.

[Madam Corvax]

Civilian, Stuart Townsend is best known to be from being kicked out from playing the role of Aragorn in FOTR after two days of shooting. (Only then was he replaced by Viggo Mortensen). Later on I saw him in a cheapo DVD called “All About Adam”, and I will forever associate him with the crook he plays there. And he is not even that handsome.

If I may voice my opinion as one of the few ladies here, I’d say Hugh Jackman for new Bond. Maybe it will be the first film he is given a decent hairstyle for a change. But would he be able to pull off English accent?

But please no Ben Affleck! I can’t stand the self-righteous git.

[Jordan]

All About Adam was a good movie. I can't believe he cheated on Kate Hudson though. That's just pushing the envelop of reality.

Of course no Affleck. The actor must either be Scottish or English. No Americans allowed. MAYBE an Australian.

I think it's hillarious that when Perfect Dark came along, the developers apparently didn;t even know what "Facility" meant, so when they made that map available for PD, it was called "Felicity."

Actually, they did this on purpose for legal reasons. There were some complications with intellectual property, and as such couldn't take anything directly from Goldeneye. Hence, all the classic levels and weapons were slightly renamed so as people would know what they refer to, but they wouldn't have to pay royalties. Funny thing is I don't remember who they were supposed to pay royalties to.

[civilian_number_two]

Ok, I know Stuart Townsend. I can't allow that for personal resons: James Bond cannot be younger than I am. Not yet!

Ben Affleck would suck ass; I'd rather see Adam Sandler.

Hug Jackman, I don't like. If I wanted an American I'd want John Cusack.

But: it just occured to me Sting could possibly pull it off, if only for one or two films.

I saw Sting and Annie Lennox the other night in concert. God damn that Annie Lennox can sing. How you kids can listen to that Britney Spears I don't know.


Interesting note about PD. I'll buy that, since the rest of the game is really professional, and not apparently made by the sort of folks who could goof like that.

[Jordan]

What are you saying? Eurthmix still rock the party!

Hugh Jackman is too bulky. Bond should be a tall slender man with upper class mannerisims.

And it's true. Bond must be at the very least 40 years of age.

Bond films are great for older actors to get one final shot at fame!

PD's a good game, made by Rare, same guys that did GoldenEye, but there's just some aspect about GoldenEye that makes it kick ass and lets you forget the bad graphics and horrendous AI. It's the best shooter I've ever played. I always play as Boris too.

Movies: I think it would be fairly obvious after watching a few that they are nothing more than constant mindless eye candy for the most part. I find all of the ones I've seen rather dull, long, and slow. Yahtzee over at Fully Ramblomatic did some excellent articles concerning Bond in the past...

[civilian_number_two]

Of course no Affleck. The actor must either be Scottish or English. No Americans allowed. MAYBE an Australian.

Well, so far you've accepted all the Bonds but Pierce, who is Irish. And I say he did fine in some dumb movies (but it's been pointed out often enough, they're all dumb).

Another Brit (a Welshman, actually) who could do it well would be Christian Bale, but of course he breaks the "James Bond cannot be younger than I am" rule, so we'll have to wait until that rule expires (about 15 years or so).

By then people will have forgotten that he's Batman.



Yes, mulitplayer Goldeneye > PD, but PD had better single-player missions. Add to which co-operative and counter-operative options, while gimicky, did enhance the repeat playability a touch.

One thing PD had over Goldeneye, in spades, is that you can play multiplayer arena all by yourself, with bots as opponents. That PD made good use of the expanded memory by making the game more interesting, where a lot of other designers might have pushed for enhanced graphics and sound.

[SimeSublime]

Hug Jackman, I don't like. If I wanted an American I'd want John Cusack.

Hugh Jackman's Australian, I belive.

And I actually disliked the option of bots in PD. I mean, its a good idea, but my friend is a bit of a coward and always wanted to play us onto the bots rather then vs each other. I found it got a bit tiring after awhile.

[civilian_number_two]

Ah, so he is. I stand corrected. Well I don't like him for Bond, anyway, but at least he's older than I am (Happy Birthday Hugh Jackman, who turned 36 last Tuesday).


Your issue with bots, really, is an issue with your friend, right? With him being a coward and all, and no fun to play with, the sissy girly-pants?

I thought the bots played a tad predictably, but I really liked how the Dark Bots were so freaking excellent and knew the levels so well that playing two humans against two of them in an open map with common weapons (rifles, pistols) meant that you were more or less doomed.

Just saw "Tomorrow never dies" on Friday. Two points:

The guy who played villian looke like middle-aged shoe salesman or librarian. Not convincing as villian at all.

There was one good line though:

"How is the new software?"

"So full of viruses people will be buying new version for years."

"Good!"

How very true. Especially in view of my recent Windows XP disaster at home

[SimeSublime]

I liked that line the first time I saw the movie, but on a resit I thought it was a bit forced.
