I interrupt the usual blogging about Olympics to bring you a post about BOND. Specifically, Pierce as Bond. Last night, the movie Golden Eye was on TV. I had almost forgot how enjjoyable this flick was. It has all the classic Bond moments and Pierce was fab.
This is now where the praising of Pierce Bond films ends. I believe that a dear friend, I am thinking Library Lady, once told me that Pierce was visually as close to bond as they ever got in casting based of Ian Fleming's written description. But I must ask the question: Did the writers/producers/directors hate him? Don't get me wrong, I heart Daniel Craig as Bond. If giving Pierce craptastic roles ensured that Daniel Craig was able to provide me with eye candy, I am all for it. I to not think that Pierce could have pulled off the lastest Bond incarnation. However, a piece of my heart breaks for Remington Steel
Evidence that Thomas Crown got screwed, excluding Golden Eye:
1. Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist. I always thought that you should be able to pronounce a profession to act it.
2. The above mentioned twats last name was christmas which lead to the worse line ever at the end of the movie- I refuse to write it here
3. Staying on the lines of Bond girls- Terry hatcher? really? (will admit I totally didn't hate Tomorrow never Dies)
4. Invisible cars?! really
5. BMW no Aston Martin
6. Madonna in a movie and Madonna writing the worst Bond song EVER!! (and I heart Madge)
7. His female lead in one of his films thanked Oprah and Jada Pickett Smith in her oscar speech.

Here is a look back to Remington Steel
