That would be the sound of my head hitting the desk repeatedly.
{...}Nor does the 37-year-old share Bond's love of Martinis shaken and stirred."I love a Martini straight up. I don't think anybody makes a Martini stirred any more," he said. {...}
It's shaken not stirred, you flipping idiot! NOT shaken and stirred.
(Hat Tip: Ith, who pretty much wrote the same damn post, but it was such an egregious error that I feel the need to pile on.}
LOL! A pile on is well deserved.
Posted by: Ith at October 27, 2005 11:02 PMDo you suppose gnat for brains (and that's a concession to the Cake Eater Mom) will pull a Miers and withdraw his name??
Nah, he's too flippin' stoopid.
Personally, I'd like to see Adrian Paul (Highlander TV series) take the role...after all, there can be only ONE.
He's hot!

Posted by: Chrissy at October 28, 2005 08:15 AMI think Clive Owen would have been perfect, but he's too highbrow or whatever for the role. Daniel isn't a bad actor, per se. I would highly recommend Layer Cake. V.V.Good as Bridget Jones would say. And he's a nice piece of eye candy. ;)
Posted by: Kathy at October 28, 2005 08:34 AMI also see that he's phobic about firearms. I don't have the link, but he made a comment recently about how guns frighten him, and he's convinced that guns do nothing but hurt people.
Great, the new James Bond is a disciple of Sarah Brady. I guess he's going to grow a mullet and start playing hockey in the next Bond movie. Geez, if they're going to go this way with the character, they might as well hire Richard Dean Anderson to play the part.

Posted by: Kathy at October 28, 2005 11:40 AMYes, I cringed when I saw that article too, but didn't get around to mocking it. Thank you for saving me the trouble. :)
Posted by: andy at October 28, 2005 11:56 AMAm I the only one disturbed by the fact that this asshat confuses the whole "straight up" versus "on the rocks" issue with the "shaken" versus "stirred" issue? Sweet Jeebus, this can NOT be the new Bond.
Posted by: Doug at October 28, 2005 12:54 PMI got a part time job hiding under Scooter Libby's porch to pull cable for the wiretaps. Mr. Fitzgerald paid me double to work nights and weekends, and I figured "Hey, I can use the money to fix my broken motorcycle".
Yes, you heard that right. Broken. And sitting at a shop in State College PA. At $50 a pint, I figure that I'll need to sell around 20 pints of blood plasma to make the repairs.
Posted by: Russ from Winterset at October 28, 2005 08:02 PMWow, I'm losing it. Make that 40 pints of plasma. Usually I'm good with calculations in my head.
Posted by: Russ from Winterset at October 28, 2005 09:19 PMOh, ouch! What's the matter with it?
Posted by: Kathy at October 28, 2005 10:04 PMOverheated & busted a connecting rod. The pieces of the broken con rod played havoc in the crankcase, so they're taking it apart right now to see which parts need to be replaced.
Posted by: Russ from Winterset at October 29, 2005 07:50 AMOh, maaan. I'm sorry. Is it deer season yet? If it is go and kill bambi a few dozen times---that'll help with the frustration. ;)
