Do anyone remember about the producers wanting a younger Bond. This was the main reason why Brosnan being dumped from Bond. Well, Brosnan still looked in fine form to me. I don't see him showing his age here and he hasn't lost his youthful look.

So perhaps there is some truth to the rumour Eon and MGM thought Brosnan was a bit too old looking to return as Bond?

Clovie
i have no idea what were they thinking..
but i heard that he doesn't have contract for more movies erm

yerssot
I don't think it's a rumor, but a pure fact since Pierce made it clear he won't return...
that or it's a very good trick to get Bond back under attention

he's 51 now and I think that if they did rush to the next movie after DaD, he could have squeezed in one more, but then he would be too old though

Clovie
i like the dea of it being just a trick big grin

yerssot
me too, but I doubt it

Clovie
why? you should think possitive

yerssot
cause I think it's just a hope that some still have, but that it's false

Clovie
you never know what will future bring

yerssot
desaster, war, angry women, the list is endless

Clovie
why anger women? huh

yerssot
cause that's what they are all the time big grin

Clovie
i don't agree cry

yerssot
well, ... they are ok when they sleep cause then they can't yell wink

Clovie
who's yelling? cry

yerssot
all girls cry

Clovie
i don't confused

yerssot

Clovie
i'm sleeping all the time happy

yerssot
then how do you eat?

Clovie
i don't big grin

yerssot
then you die sad

Evy_O
I saw "After the Sunset" in which he played and he looked old in it indeed confused

Mr Parker
I dont think he looks too old for the role,I do think he is the worst bond there ever was though because he is not a good actor,in all his movies he is in,he is always just being pierce brosnon instead of being the character,no exception in the james bond movies.

yerssot
you saw Roger Moore?

he did an ace bond in GE; imo

Clovie
that's good thing big grin

yerssot
depression.com eek!

Clovie

Clovie

yerssot

Clovie
btw i don't have depression.

but pierce can get one for thinking that he is too old eek!

yerssot
but he is blink

Clovie
he is, but it would be sad if he got depressed coz of that sad

yerssot
but he's a big boy, thought he could handle himself

(adapted quote from DaD)

Clovie
but even big boys need others from time to time wink

Too old? Bond should look like Sean does right now given the time frame of the films! Bring him back I say and bring back Blofeld too...

With Terence Stamp in the part!!! smokin'

yerssot
Volpe is from Thunderball big grin

Reborn Again
Just look at the movie After the Sunset, he shows his age well. And seeing how many projects he has undertaken, he's not Bond no more.


The Topkapi Affair (2006) (announced) .... Thomas Crown
Mexicali (2005) (announced)
Instant Karma (2005) (filming)

yerssot

I have that effect on people cool

Evy_O
really? it even works from such a distance? confused

yerssot
it's a great mass wink

Evy_O
I wouldn't know stick out tongue

yerssot
ok... it's freaking huge, you know that hten? stick out tongue

Evy_O
yeah, cause of what you said about the mass stick out tongue

( convert mass into Newton: 1 kg is 10 Newton smart )

Clovie
1newton is 1kg*m/s^2

Evy_O
very true... yes

that's from Newton's first physics law (or however that is called in English)
it says that F = ma
where F is the algebraic sum of the whole of F on the system we work on
m is mass
and a is accelaration

when we talk about WEIGHT, a equals with g, which approximately equals with 10 m/s^2. (well, depending on which side of the earth you're on, I think it's 9.8 m/s^2 somewhere around Africa? not sure)

so you have F = mg <=> F=10m
so for each kg, you have 10 Newtons smart

therefore if you are 55kg (like I am) it means you are around 550 Newton.... sounds heavy, doesn't it eek!

yerssot
evy is 55 kilos eek!
you're fat eek!

Clovie
