I think he comes off boring to people b/c they see him being interviewed, some not knowing that reporters asking him who would be a better Bond girl: Sienna Miller or Kate Moss? If he is hearing that kind of BS everyday, I think he is annoyed by those type of questions and is just going to give out the necessary info. Is Craig a good actor, overall? In my opinion yes. Now, do I think he is good looking (I am secure enough to ask this)? Yes, he has that same ruggedness that a young Sean Connery had when he started out. I think Craig will bring the same intensity to the role Timothy Dalton did so well, and I think he will win us all over w/ his Bond portrayal.

He is good, Mr. Larsen -- no argument there at all! But I do think he should be a bit more forthcoming with the press, as it will add to the success of the movie at the box office.

Of all the Bonds, Timothy Dalton was the finest actor, coming to the role as he did with over twenty years as an acclaimed classical stage actor. However, during his tenure as Bond, he was never truly at his ease with the intense scrutiny of the press; this turned out to be unfortunate for him, and for the franchise, as well.

Meanwhile, welcome to CBn, Mr. Larsen. Wow! you work fast: eight posts in your first hour! :tup:

You just think so because he looks just like you, hcmv007! :tup:

And anyway, never too early if Mr. Dalton is involved! (I agree with both you of you btw.)

Probably the same reason everyone can't be quite as lovely as you!


EDIT: D's W, replied to your PM and it said your inbox was full. I think you need to empty it out.

Why should he reply to stupid questions like what his ice cream flavor is? He responded anyway so it doesn't matter much.

I love his no :tup: approach to the press.

I concur.

Maybe if they asked him intelligent question, he would answer more to your liking.

If Daniel Craig is boring, it's probably because it's been drilled into him! :tup:

Dalton, while a brave choice as Bond, was the wrong type of personality to have as James Bond.  He did not deal well with the media, and he did not exactly endear himself to them. 


The above quote, from the thread "Was Dalton 'Trapped'?" illustrates the point that some of us were trying to make on the previous pages. Whether or not one likes, or respects, the media, it is never a good idea to ignore them.
