Landsknechts

His Shylock was slightly less bad than Tony Curtis in the "Black Shield of Falworth", I will grant you, but there was always the underlying threat of the Jewish money-lender bringing out his "little friend".

FSN - thought we'd agreed - NO WELSH on the forum.

Sorry. I've been trying out some multi-lingual sign offs. It would only work in the morning anyway.

Catch you on the flip side - FSN

That would be down to your browser Phil.

In Firefox you go to Tools -> Options -> General -> Browsing -> Check my spelling as I type

There must be similar options in Chrome, Bing or Internet Explorer but I don't use them.

I think this whole thread has quite capably illustrated that some folks like single poses, some folks like lots of poses, and some folks are plain nuts.   

PS, I quite like Daniel Craig as Bond, he's a much more believable thug than Brosnan ever was.  But then I've never read any of the books and Connery/Moore were before my time.

I think Craig's a first-rate actor, but it's fish and fowl with him in the Bond tradition.

Far be it from me to disagree with the Dark Lord, but Craig is essentially a monotone actor. In "Degfiance", I cheered for the Nazi's; in "Cowboys and Aliens", I cheered for the aliens, and wondered, like Harrison Ford, where it had gone so wrong for Harrison Ford, and in the breakthrough "Layer Cake" I was asleep in half an hour.

Yes, Bond is a thug, but he's meant to be so much more than that. Craig has all the charisma of an oily rag.

I suggest you read the books. They're actually very good.

... and watch Connery.


All praise the Dark Lord - FSN

This gets into the Ten Worst-Hijacked Posts.

For me Brosnan had a believable mix of physicality and charm, hence my top Bond.

I thought Craig was good in Defiance, myself, depends what you were expecting I suppose. I liked Layer Cake, no Lock Stock to be sure but very watchable.

Cowboys and Aliens had a good cast, good director, good crew .... how did they manage to make such a dire film??? Only saving grace was Olivia Wilde as the obligatory eye-candy. Perhaps less cash on CGI and more on screenwriters might have helped?

I'm sure Craig would do well as a Landsknecht in a film set in the appropriate era .... err, back on track?

In which case you missed the best bit. Sienna Miller. Yum.
