"My Hair is Blond....Dyed Blond."

I say, old chap....wasn't Roger Moore blond? At least early on....well, we have another James Bond. Couldn't they get Jude Law? I haven't seen "Munich" yet, so I don't really know what this Daniel Craig is all about. In fact, I haven't seen a James Bond flick since I was conned into seeing "Die Another Day." Too much kitch...and Pierce Brosnan is too slimey.
Of course, most folks like to say that Sean Connery was the best James Bond. Certainly, he was a close ringer to the Bond of Ian Fleming, but oh golly! Was that guy a male chauvinist or what? Pussy Galore, Plenty O Toole....slapping asses, tossed salad, spanking, swanking....no wonder most men seem to prefer Sean Connery. He taps into mens' latent caveman instincts...sort of a throw back to simpler times.
Roger Moore. This guy gets the back of every hand quite unfairly. He had bad luck to be James Bond during the dark days of the Bond Years (which never end. Somewhere out in the world, the first red-headed Bond, or the first Mongolian Bond, is taking his or her first steps.) "Moonraker" is not exactly the crowning achievement in the pantheon of Bondage, and Moore unfortunately will be remembered by most as being tagged to that. I contend, however, that Roger Moore was the greatest Bond. He could bring charm, panache, and ferocity (a la Fleming) to the character and most importantly, he slapped fewer asses than Sean Connery, so he also gets the feminist endorsement as well.
Timothy Dalton: whatever.
So...I shall reserve my judgement of Mr. Craig until the curtain goes down on "Casino Royale" later this year. Of course, I just checked out the trailer for the movie and it looks like some kind of "Mission Impossible" rip-off. Don't sit too close to screen, Bond fans. You might get a headache.
