I own the first (Bourne), fell asleep during the second and third. Not kidding.

Omigod! I just had a sickening thought. J. Garafolo.

Can a Bond have prison tatts?

The only thing I would cast Damon in is a remake of Frankenstein playing the monster- his blockhead would require little make-up and he wouldn't need to talk.

LOL – and they could use the soundbites from Team America for his lines – MATT DAMON

I forgot about that guy, he would have been great. I still think they should have kept Timothy Dalton for more movies than they did.

I'm with Kevin. I like Craig and the new direction of the films. Craig isn't a pretty boy like Brosnan who ruined the series and the gadgets worked prior to 1980, but then became gimmicky. I like the more realistic tone of the new Bond. I would vote to keep Craig as Bond – I think he brings a new interpretation to the character. If they wanted to go with the suave deboinaire type then I'd go for Hugh Jackman or Clive Owen.

I did. Our high school library had the series. I believe Ian Fleming died the year I was born. The books have a particular feel to them more common of that era, narrative distance and a bit of a chill that actually works pretty well, I think, to highlight the tortured elements of Bond's psyche. It's been so long I hardly remember them, but I do recall that the Bond in the books wasn't a "player" but fell profoundly in love, and I'll never forget (other than which book it was!) when his true love killed herself and left a note explaining that she was an enemy agent or working for them, and Bond responds to some inquiry about her with something very like (hey it was almost 30 years ago I read it!) "The bitch is dead." OMG, tore my 15 year old school-girl heart to shreds.

Has anyone ever read Mr. Flemings' books? I've just finished the first one 'Casino Royale' and was flabbergasted by it. "How could I have never read this?", spoke I. It was incredible and every page actually taught me something about Old Europe as compared to the europe now. Anyway, the closest any of the movies got to the Real Bond was 'Dr. No' and 'Casino Royale'. Just a small scene in the former where Connery set warning traps -in 'Casino ~'- in his hotel and most of what happened at the casino sans all the chop socky came from the book.

The actor who closely matches the authors' character is indeed the latest in his talking scenes. They PC'd the hell out of him since his opinion of Vesper spoken on the very last page was far more brutal then what was said in QoS. He felt betrayed by the 'bitch' for soiling the Queens' Honor and I did hope that the new Bond would show it. Alas, it was not meant to be for hollyweird don't like such Hard Men to occur in shows now.

I plead to everyone; please read his novels. Novels that told complete stories in under 250 pages as compared to any 3~400 page Bourne ones. I noticed how amazing 'Casino Royale' really was and was saddened that even then, Old Hollywood was skittish about it.

I agree Daniel Craig sucks as Bond. IMHO Timothy Dalton in "The Living Daylights" was the best Bond (not so hot in the second installment, unfortunately). I also think Clive Owen as the Bond-like character in the first Pink Panther film was better than Craig. Brosnan didn't resonate as Bond — he didn't come off as a 00. Connery was better, Moore forgettable. I'd like to see either Hugh Jackman or Clive Owen as the new Bond.
