And to the other closeted homosexual nominees, I want each of you to know how totally vindicated your lackluster applause makes me feel right now! You know when they first told me I was n't blonde enough, I just had to take an epidural and obsess about how unaesthetic my thighs have been. I guess it all just makes me feel kinda cheap You know, there are so many blood-sucking little people to thank! First off though, I want to pay off the senile old bats of the Academy, who looked deep within their cold, black hearts before giving me this fantastic award! Also, I want to thank my guru, for being such a powerful force in my loins. And to the hooker with the heart of gold, who taught me to take life by the fifth of bourbon.

Is it just me, or does a James Bond vs. Dracula novel sound like an utter DELIGHT?


Just kidding, Loomis.

[Qwerty]

Hey! Look at that! Terrific!!

Pff, 2300, it's almost 2400.

[zencat]

Wait! Didn't I say I wanted a James Bond/Lara Croft crossover at some point on these boards...and isn't that a quote I used in one of my IFP/Young Bond articles...

DOH!



Kidding, of course. Congrats Loomis. You are now a spokesman for the Bond community.

The article also went on to quote from our transcript of the BBC interview with Higson...which was Athena's scoop of scoops (thanks to marktmurphy).

Heh heh.

I honour of this, well, tremendous honour, I decided to write an acceptance speech in return for the love and envy of all you millions of good Bond-loving folk out there, with some help from http://humor.about.c...oscar/index.asp:

Thank you America, and good night!

Congrats, Loomis. Great acceptance speech.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Thank Brosnan for inspiring you to act despite having no talent.

I just want to say at this point that there is absolutely no truth in the rumour that I'll be replacing Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. All I'll say for now is that my future plans are fairly opaque.
