How handsome do you think Tim is/was? The ladies' opinions would be best. (Unless you're gay of course)

[Blue Eyes]

Okay, I'm not gay But I've always wanted to hear a ladies opinion to the same question. The iffy part about Tim I think is, what I find, a prominent chin.

Oh, and while I'm on it, do you have to bat for the other team to look at the same sex and say if they're attractive or not? I don't think so. I doubt there's a man out there who hasn't looked at some celebrity (whether it be Pierce, Bradd Pitt etc...) and though "Bastard".

[Dmitri Mishkin]

I would like to hear the ladies' response on this query, too, and I'm not gay. I don't think there's anything wrong with making a comment about the opposite sex as long as it's not overtly sexual. In other words, you don't have to "bat on the same team" (interesting expression, BE). As long as it's communicated in a short, casual manner with no overly detailed specifics. It's HOW it's said that's important.

The thing with Tim Dalton is he's a more rugged-looking Bond. His face lacks the smooth polish of Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Brosnan. And yes, he does have a prominent double chin. Other than that, he looks like a normal guy. . . an ordinary English gentleman. He looks less like a "movie star" than the other 4, and I'm thankful for that. To me, it adds to his realistic portrayal of Bond.

[Bondpurist]

OK, OK, but surely someone who actually fancies men is going to have the ultimate say!

[ShockTroop22]

Just a couple of guys, chilling out discussing men. lol

*Let it be known - i am not gay and am now returning to my Izabella Scorupco thread

[Tedley King]

I wouldn't say I'm gay ... only on weekends and weekdays, but other then that I'm not gay. Truthfully, I'm not, but I think that Dalton is attractive, well, let me rephrase that:o. I think that some women would be attracted to Dalton. I wouldn't say every woman would be, I don't think many gays would either, I don't think my friend is. But yes, I do think he has some attractive features, including the relatively small, but cute, package!

[Xenobia]

Alright...finally the female opinion....

I would say Timothy Dalton is handsome in a gothic sort of way...which is lovely in my opinion. He is handsome, but not cute, if you get the difference.

-- Xenobia

[Bondpurist]

No, I don't get the difference. What's being 'cute' got to do with it anyway? Puppy's are cute, not James Bond.

[Xenobia]

Well, that is what I mean Bondpurist...Bond is handsome, not cute.

In the cute category.l..someone like Harry Connick Jr. or Matthew McConaghy are cute and handsome. Now do you get it?

-- Xenobia

[Bondpurist]

What is your definiton of cute?

[Xenobia]

You know BP...I was afraid you would ask that....

My definition of cute is someone who just has a radiant face, and smiles a lot and when he smiles he's got dimples and he looks cute. This gentleman would also carry himself with a sort of "Aw sucks ma'am" type attitude.

-- Xenobia

[IrishCrown]

It's the opposite of being cranky.

[Bondpurist]

Radiant....smiles...I'm glad Tim wasn't 'cute'

[IrishCrown]

If Dalton wasn't cute, then what was he?

[Bondpurist]

He was handsome. There is a difference.

[IrishCrown]

Okay. Thank you for settling the age-old question of cute versus handsome. If Dalton is not cute and is handsome, then what is Brad Pitt or George Clooney...or Clive Owen, while we're on the subject?

[Bondpurist]

I don't know. Ask a girl. Apparently handsome men are strong men and cute men are 'senstitive'. (Nancies)

[IrishCrown]

You don't know? I'm shocked and disappointed that you're at a loss for words on this subject, especially on Clive Owen, whom you at one point wanted for Bond.

[Bondpurist]

Clive Owen, I'd guess, is handsome but not cute. Brad pitt is cuter than he is handsome and George Clooney has a bit of both. Ask a girl, they know better than I do!

[IrishCrown]

Ah, Bondpurist, you old devil, you seem to have quite an eye!

[Bondpurist]

I did that on whether I considered them tough and strong or weak and wimpy. The weak ones are 'cute' and the strong ones are 'handsome'. I am not gay by the way. I was only guessing.

[IrishCrown]

No one was saying you were gay. I was just making light of the matter is all.

[Bondpurist]

I know, I know. Don't get on your high horse. I appreciate you making light of it. It stops arguments. Keep it up.

[IrishCrown]

But....but....I don't have a horse. I always wanted one, though. I always wanted to be a cowboy...riding Trigger, and riding with Tonto...

BTW, what do you think of Hoagy Charmichael? Is he handsome?

[Bondpurist]

Who is he? Post a picture of him and I'll tell you.

[IrishCrown]

You don't know who Hoagy Charmichael is? Dear God, man! Okay, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. When someone asked Ian Fleming who he thought Bond looked like, he told them that Bond looked like Hoagy Charmichael with a scar down his cheek. That's the man, that's the story, and now you know the rest of the story.

[Bondpurist]

Post a picture of him and I'll give you my opinion.

[IrishCrown]

If I could find one, you'd be the first to see it. No, make that the second.

[Byron]

Well i think Tim is classically handsome. If you see
the documentary on the Living Daylights DVD, Arthur
Wooster (in charge of photography? states "He's a handsome lad our Tim".

Bondpurist is right there is abig difference between cute and handsome.

And if i could have any JB's looks, it would definately be Daltons.

[IrishCrown]

If I were to pick, I'd go with either of the two Bonds who were voted Sexiest Men Alive by People Magazine...Pierce and/or Sean. Not Dalton.
