Male (if not masculine) Actors "Guys" Hate

[Ravenloft]

Hate to break it to you Todd but I beat you to the punch! And I think someone spiked it!!!

 

[Gaucho]

Has anyone every read the first Bond novel, "Dr. No."? In that book Flemming sets up Bond as a nearly broken man, nearly destroyed by his last mission, and barely able to take on his new mission. He has to climb up from a deep well of pain to do his job. Bond used to be a great character. Now he's like "Batman", just put some guy in the suit and cut to the stuntman.

Not to be picky, Dix, but Dr. No was actually the 6th book in the series (although it was the first movie - filmed in 1963) and the reason Bond was in such bad shape was that he had screwed up at the end of the previous book (From Russia with Love) and almost gotten himself killed.

I'm not too fond of Val Kilmer. There's something about him that gives me the creeps.

 

[CreamyLady]

I realize I'm not a guy, but Leonardo di Caprio was horrible in Titanic. The movie was horrible too. I really did ask WitchsKat when the damned boat would sink so we could go home.

Does anyone remember Andrew McCarthy from Pretty in Pink?
That guy just annoys me to pieces! Oh those fucking wide-eyed looks... UGH!!! I just want to punch him one time!!!

And on a related, but not related, note: Jenny McCarthy, although totally fuckable, and I'd love to see my cum dripping from her chin, can not act one iota. Absolutely brutal, and talent-less. Having said that, she can let me fuck her in the ass if she likes.

Kevin Costner. aka Mr. Ego

I pick Rob Lowe.
Too pretty, too perfect. Features out of a magazine. Seems his previous acting attempts were forgettable (except his hotel room romp with the 2 teenagers on that videotape) I do like him in The West Wing tho.

Gaucho- Wow-another knowledgeable 007 fan! Bond's Beretta jammed, he got stuck with the poisoned shoe tip from Rosa Klebb and spent months in recovery. When he came back in Dr No, he switched to the Walter PPK!

Dixon, quick answer...the character in the movies changed when the 2 producers split up. The remaining one changed Bond to a more comic character who relied on his charm and Q's gadgets to showcase special effects and fancy cars. The Fleming books never deviated from the tough, resourceful manly man.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Yes, I know, but the real change was due to Roger Moore's influence. He wanted Bond to be more like the Saint, with a sense of humor and irony, instead of the Flemming anit-hero.

Gaucho, you're right about the order of the books, I was thinking of the movies.

Actually, the first filmed Bond was "Casino Royalle", a TV film in England (not the weird David Niven verison, which I love).

But, damn, it never got any better than "Goldfinger" did it?

Here's some trivia no one ever believes -- The Bond producer (Albert?) Broccoli is a member of the family that made its fortune on the hybrid invention of the vegetable named after them.

 

[Purple Haze]

I prefer broccoli shaken, not stirred.

Did anybody else like "Moonraker?"

 

[R Nitelight]

Purple Haze

I have no snide follow-up.
Is the magic gone?

 

[Purple Haze]

I think we need to become one person again.

 

[Roll-One]

Stephen Segal, and N.Cage... to me are the worst... geeeeeezzzzz...

 

[KillerMuffin]

Two words. Brisco County Jr. YEEEhaw baby!!!!!!! Trot that guy right this way Comet.

Speaking of Bond... why hasn't anyone shot Timothy Dalton? We would cheer. He went from being James Bond (badly being James Bond) to being a beast in that ridiculous Beautician and the Beast. Gawd.

Personally I think James Bond went downhill with Brosnan was because someone emascualted him. The man is sposed to be the ultimate StudPuppy, I mean honestly. And whats up with that stupid bungee cord thing? Sheesh. Lets go watch Solo, bring a barf bag.

Anyone else wanna choke the voice outta Fran Drescher? She was normal in Doctor Detroit. What the fuck happened? I mean instant migraine whenever I hear that ratty irritating stupid woman. Is this what we've come to? Sparky, you're from NYC. Hunt her down and smack that whine out of her.

 

[Rosebud]

Well DCL you can kiss my ass or any other part you want...oh shit that was kick their ass...never mind

 

[Gaucho]

Yeah, and the funny thing was that they kept the scene in the movie where M upbraids him about the gun - only in the movie the scene made no sense because for most of us that was the first we'd seen of James Bond.

btw - Welcome to the board. And don't worry about not being welcomed. With the two B's you've got going for you, you'll do just fine.

Not a TV film, did quite well first at the box office.
I can't remember the Actors name George L???

Bond fans please help with the name, it's stuck?

The one you're thinking of is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". It's the one where Bond gets married and the actor's name was George Lazenby. Filmed in 1970.

 

[ElaineWest]

Don't get me wrong I've loved 'Friends' from the moment it aired but I think Matthew Perry over acts way too much!! Especially in his movies...like THE WHOLE NINE YARDS! UGH!
Bruce Willis wasn't much better.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Yep, Lazenby, "On Her Majesty's Etc." Good flick.

No, the first filmed Bond was for television, and it was "Casino Royale". Before Connery. Black and white. I can't remember the actor who played Bond. This is why "Casino Royalle" was able to be filmed by someone other than Broccoli, because the rights has been sold years earlier. Brocolli owns the rights to all the other stories, except one other: "Thunderball". Which is why when Connery came back as Bond in "Never Say Never Again" the only story they could get the rights to was "Thunderball". So "Never" was essentially a "Thunderball" remake, even down to the same character names.

 

[Gaucho]

The original Casino Royale was filmed in the mid-50's as a part of the CBS television series "Climax!" It starred Barry Nelson as "Jimmy" Bond and, of all people, Peter Lorre as LeChiffre. Further information about Ian Fleming and his works can be found at numerous web sites, including here:

[Gaucho]

Yep, Lazenby, "On Her Majesty's Etc." Good flick.

And how could I forget that the Bond babe in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was the delectable Diana Rigg. Yum.

Dammit, Dixon! Now I can't get the theme from Casino Royale (as played by Herb Alpert and the TJB) out of my head.

This is all your fault!

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

"Seven James Bonds at Casino Royale,
They came to save the world and get a gal
at Casino Royale. Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waaaa...
Six of them went to a heavenly spot,
The Seventh One he's going to a place that is terribly -- hot."

Does that help? LOL

Favorite exchange (a callback from "What's New Pussycat?"):

PETER O'TOOLE: Aren't you, Richard Burton?
PETER SELLERS: No, I'm Peter O'Toole.
PETER O'TOOLE: Then you're the finest man that ever breathed.

It's such a godawful movie, but I love it.

 

[Gingersnap]

Sean C. oh pleasseeeee the man who beats his wife. Bring his old ass over here and I will kick it for him. Talk about a range he has one dimension only..... A glowering look and a cheesy little smile. I like smart ass men with minds and acting ability. Harrison Ford comes to mind (damn I love that smile) such a smart ass and Mel has done everything from his early "living dangerously" to "Hamlet". Tough guys whose asses you couldn't beat DCL. I like Tommy Lee Jones too something about that nervous energy he has going on.
I met Tom Cruise at a racetrack in atlanta with Paul newman. (medical backup) nice guys came over and said hello but like really little.


Sly Stallone is a wenie!!!!!!!
