He was saying how he stood for being better than Bond as far as the ladies and the action. I didnt mean to insult anybody.

Not getting in to the whole gay/bi/hetro debate, I have to confess, I do find that news particularily funny. There's just something about it which is humorous considering the whole anti-Bond campaign he was a part of :)

Vin Diesel was good... in Pitch Black. Since then, he has come to suck. A lot.

Unfortunate turn of phrase. :)

By all means criticise the man on his work or his comments in the media, but to mock someone for a speech impediment and their alleged sexuality is shamefully pathetic.

I've always thought of the characters he plays as being meatheads ... even in Saving Private Ryan, possibly his most intelligent part, he still plays the ... ahem ... yob (albeit in SPR as a sensitive yob).

The difference between Diesel's character in xXx and Bond from what I have gathered is that Diesel exhibits not a jot of panache or charm unlike Bond ...

Why am I even bothering to compare these two characters? I like Bond, I don't like the look of xXx. 'Nuff said

Well, to get technical, Bond kind of was the first to snowboard, in AVTAK....so he's been there and done that....besides, why would someone as cool as Bond be into extreme! sports.....he doesn't exactly go around saying Dude...

As for VD (unfortunate initials)....it's been rumored that he is, so what? nothing to laugh at him for...

Yeah, that's one of the things I've thought during this whole XXX is the new way and Bond is old ****.

With all the coverage this film got you would think it was something truly revolutionary, but it's just a Mountain Dew commercial in the middle of an X-Games broadcast for Gen Y people who've got nothing else to do.

If they would just acknowledge there would be no XXX if Bond hadn't been there first I wouldn't be so annoyed. But to say Bond's time is past and all that while ripping off everything the series did before is typical. They can't even think up an original name for the film.

I am starting to gain a little, not a lot, of respect for Vin Diesel. After his latest saying about Bond is daddy, he finally realised. I mean I don't like him, and I won't go see xXx, but he isn't a bad guy.

xXx is just a poor, unoriginal excuse to try and outdo Bond with it's own material.

If they want to appeal, try doing something that's not been don. Don't rip-off Bond.

I don't mind them ripping off Bond and changing it for a new, different audience. It's their attitud towards it that has always annoyed me. Like an angry child rebelling against his parents and then doing exactly what they did.

I'm pretty tired of XXX in general. I hope it fades from the box office soon and the more things I read about how it's the new Bond, the more I get annoyed. But if ol' Vin is coming around and giving Bond some respect, that's good.

I also hold out hope when DAD arrives and XXX fades from memory that maybe, just maybe, some kids who went to see it will see the Bond brand of action and realize it's got its qualities as well. Just like some younger kids found the series five years ago when the GoldenEye game came out, maybe some will be won over like this.

The only reason that he said those remarks about Bond is because he probably saw the Trailer and ****ted his pants. Long Live Bond!!!!!

There can only be one spy, and that man is Bond. Indeed, Vin Diesel happend to be watching ET one night, thinking they'd be kissing his *** some more, then he saw the trailer. He spit out his drink, and started doing the "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" as he was bowing down to the tv screen.

Nah, its just us UK kids (wel, I'm a kid:o), they all like Ali G for a while, but Tanger and I hate him, so he's not to bementioned. BTW, I'll keep the champagne chilled for when you reach the 4DC, along with Tanger and a few others. Geez, I'll be as p*ssed as a newt by the time the party is over!:)

He may seem that way on the outside, but on the inside he's a anoying bond wannabe. Don't let him deceive you. He really hates Bond because he can't out do him.

Do we need to bring up month old topics about XXX ?, let them slide off the first page and into obscurity, soon to be forgotton of, just like the movie itself, it's not really worth bothering with.

did anybody actually see it though?
im ashamed to say that i actually sold my soul and went to see it (dont hate me, my friends were going and i was bored)
however i really really hated it, it was just ridiculous.
And if that woman thinks bond films are sexist, she should see her own film
