lol . . . you are not alone. I was at the theatre with my bro and sis and we looked at each other like "which kin translation be that?" lol

Max,
you need to be cured of this Craig infatuation and have those fantasies exorcised asap. Here's my recommendation:

2 teaspoons of X-men, concentrating on Hugh Jackman only (occasional glimpses at Cyclops is okay too)
1 shade of Sahara, focusing on Mathew Mac.
3 cups of anything with Bruce Lee
a few ounces of reels featuring the young Johnny Depp
Continuous dosage of Antonio Banderas in all his mexican flicks
and finally 8 full servings of "300" every 24 hours until Daniel Craig becomes nuthin but a distant and bad memory.

. . . and then call me in the morning testifying of ur newly found liberty

LMAO!!!!
Ahhhh. The plot thickens. Sooo. Those are your crushes; McConaughey, James Marsden, Depp, Lee, Jackman and Banderas.Great taste, girl! Believe it or not I've had crushes on all those except Lee, Marsden and McCounaughey. I thought Banderas impossibly sexy in Assassins, but only in that movie.I really like Marsden and don't miss his movies. Have you seen Hairspray, where he played the host of a show? What did you think of the movie?

vescucci:
Max, you're hopeless you know. Hehe. How many of us will it take to free you of this disease. Tell the truth. Blondie Blue Eyes spells Max' ideal dude. Well, asides from Ken. I love le Carre. I'll absolutely sip tea with him and pick his glorious bureaucratic brain. I remember than part in Bourne Identity. Asides from the ridiculous translation, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the intonation either. But the film absolutely rocks regardless.

Not just any blonde. Craig. Daniel Craig. Eeet ees an incurable deseease,senor. I think I prefer Bourne Supremacy. Liked the beginning, the Russian villain, that amazing tunnel car chase with suicidal stuntsmen- no effects, they were REAL! His scene with Stiles, where she thought she was going to die. Hm. I don't know which one had the staircase shooting scene, where he falls with a body for a shield and hits his target bullseye.

Come now, don't you have an actresse you've a crush on?Someone whose movies you'd go see, however crappy? I mean, iice actually sat through Depp's Sweeney Todd musical,which must have been torture for her. Which actresses are you nuts about? Jolie? Carla Gugino? Bipasa Basu? Salma Hayek?Who?

justkunmi:
. . .and OMG that baby was ugly!!!

Spectacularly so.

spikedcylinder:
I have not seen Atonement but I think James McCavoy looks like a sad poodle.

Not a McCavoy fan.He sucked in Wanted. Action figure wannabe. But see Atonement. It's fantastic.Keep in mind there's a portion where reality ends and the girl's fantasies of an alternate ending takes over. It's so subtle you won't know when, but keep in mind she's a writer and she's young and so everything will be exaggerated, and you'll know when. Great,great movie. Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar,and most deserving.

Nick Carter isn't all bad. He's just a shameless ashawo is all. Isn't Le Carre fabulous? Best British espionage writer EVER.  Honey, I'm not defending my choices here.I love Craig's Bond, and that's that. But I also happen to like Bourne. I pretend there's a choice between the two when there really isn't. I don't have to choose. Someone told me The Bourne Ultimatum wasn't as good as the previous two, so it took me a while to check it out.In fact, I only saw it this year and it was just as good as the other two.Remember that scene in Identity where Adewale Agabaje goes to see the dead  body and says" Sebi mo ti so fun e tele.O ri e o pe!" and they translate it in English as 'This is not him'? We were all like wth? I think the second Bourne outing'smy favourite.

Check out something British I like. Delicious

Well, the franchise isn't bound by the book's parameters and may add whichever dimensions it deems fit. It certainly isn't bound to conform itself to the past.In the real world bosses and underlings do become friends.I enjoy the dynamics of their relationship.In fact, I was bored by Olga in Quantum but perked up whenever it was Dench and Craig. I think the producers know what they're doing here.

Ah. You think Connery the best Bond.   I have all the Bond titles and months ago,I spent a week watching them all. Moore came out poorly,except in The Spy Who Loved Me and Live and Let Die. Brosnan was great in Golden Eye, but then there were two phenomenal Bond Girls in there as well.Didn't much like him in the others. Dalton I couldn't stand. He was a good Bond but the movies were poor. Lazenby I paid no attention to. No-talent asshole ruined a perfectly good movie by appearing in it. Connery's Bond movies are the best (with the exception of Craig's Royale).Only Diamonds are Forever bored me;the rest were fabulous,especially Goldfinger and From Russia With Love.

But for me Craig remains, now and forever more, the Best Bond.   

This Orilee9ice no gokill persin. Which one be ten ten ten ten ten ten ren ren ren again? Hey I liked that Joy Girl advert! The same Dora Ifudu that became a singer? She used to be a presenter? I'd forgotten Beach Comber.

@spykn
Bourne and Bond aren't in the same category. Bourne is cool, but he is not Craig's Bond. Bond's relationship with M is great; in fact,it's the relationship Bond Girls will have to work hard to beat. That she is his boss and is as ruthless as he is has been established in Casino Royale, and there was no need to flog it to death in Quantum. When Bond breaks into her home, she tells him,"If you ever break into my home again I'll have you killed." He says "Yes ma'am."  She meant every word. But they go beyond Boss/Underling; they're friends.She mothers him somewhat, because she understands what's driving him; Vesper's death. In the next instalment, he likely won't be a cold bastid, but he won't be giving his heart away anymore either.  

I've read Fleming's novels.Craig is true to his Bond, but with a little more oomph. Fleming himself is an imperialist ass who thinks the British Empire is the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind. His literary tone is almost irritating. But it's either that or Nick Carter with 'Wilhemina' and 'Hugo'. John Creasey's excellent novels made Fleming's easy to take.

Honestly, I had a problem with all the Bonds after Connery and before Craig. They acted like they were aristocrats taking a lil' bit of time away from the country club and fancy tea parties to play spy. Moore carried being 'civilised'to an extreme degree; sipping champagne with his adversary while that one simpered and coyly confided his plans to take over the world. The British Govt apparently financed their lavish lifestyles, and they were a one-man army. What nonsense.

But in Casino, Craig worked as a member of a team. When he got a posh ride, it wasn't from 'govt pocket money'; he won it in a poker game. He doesn't objectify women; a maddening Bond shtick. They got everything,every single thing right in Royale, and that's bloody hard to do. I knew the next one couldn't beat it, and it didn't. But I'm perfectly happy with Craig as Bond. He's the best so far. Long Live the King.

Max, you're like my sister from another mother that won't stop eating candy. Bond is candy. And 12monkeys is awesome and quite old. No, very old. Brad and Bruce went cuckoo. Totally were uninhibited. Let loose. In other words, crazy.

Craig is candy.I have fantasies of holding a Magnum, his hands over mine,while I fire away.Bang! Bang! Bang! 
I just love Willis' movies.(With the exception of Tears of the Sun and Colour of Night) I've been watching nothing but all week. From Moonlighting to superstar. He's one of the lucky ones.Awesome.

Vesc, lovely choices.

Maybe Bond should take from that quote and stop boring his fans

Be sure to watch all the Bourne movies again; oh, and get a load of his scrawny behind; you're not gonna see it again in a new Bourne movie. Eet ees overrrrr. Watch and recommend a movie already.

vescucci:
Max. It's funny cuz I just saw QOS again. I can't say DC isn't a refreshing Bond. But Ian Fleming had an idea in his mind when he created Bond and DC is not it. I know we're in the 21st century and Bond has to evolve with time. To be frank the new Bond makes the rest look like schoolboys. I like his brutality. His nose bleeds after his very crude taijutsu, awesome. BUT I connect with Bourne on another level. Bond is awesome but Bourne is awesomer

You never finished an Ian Fleming book? Now I believe you.This 007 is actually the one most like the book Bond. He and Connery, but even more than the latter. The others were mostly Hollywood inventions.What's not to like about Bourne?He's cool and dangerou, but seeing him with a gun does nothing for me. Craig was born to hold a gun; so dangerously sexy.

Oh I checked out Cardillac Records by the way. Not bad. It's Bruce Willis week, and for the rest of the week, his movies are all I'm seeing. Currently watching 12 Monkeys. It's a real treat to see him with Madeline Stowe, who I really like, and a really good Pitt.

My brotha you are in convo with a Bourniac I remember being at the theatre for the Identity, when he was on the park bench and the two policemen were questioning him and he suddenly discovered he could fight and do those crazy moves and knocked them out . . . I fell in love
Death to Bond! May Bourne Live Forever!

I saw the making of The Bourne Identity. Er, if you guys want to cherish that scene forever, please don't watch the making of that movie.

Jason Bourne does rock. Before Craig I would have thrown all the other Bonds in the sea for him. The Bond franchise was getting tired, unrealistic and losing relevance, not being grounded in real world issues. British agents are civil servants; where did these Bonds get Maclarens and Porsches and Lamborghini diablos?Cool cars,but absurd really. Enter Craig, and Casino Royale, and all that ended in one fell swoop. Everything came together in that movie; great script, great directing, great dialogie, and Judi Dench was paired with the perfect Bond for her at last. It did for the Bond franchise what Batman Begins did for Batman. You get 00 status after two killings, and Bond began without ever having killed before. His first kill was messy and inexperienced. The great thing about this Bond is, he acts. Look at the scene in Royale where he was trying to stop the truck from crashing into the plane; watch his face all the while. He's amazing. Inexperienced Bond falls in love with Eva Green, a fantastic Bond Girl, and is killed by Mr White. Filled with impossible rage and a cold thirst for revenge, he hunts QWhite Down, and Casino Royale ends. Quantum begins where Casino left off, with White in Bond's car. White escapes,but all of Quantum is about Bond's fury and hurt at the death of hus love, and his inability to forgive her. That's why he's cold and merciless. That's why, for the first tme in Bond history, Bond and the Bond girl in Quantum aren't romantically involved.

He is not aping Bourne, though I can see why you'd think so. Since he got his revenge and forgave Green at the end, he won't be a merciless bastid in his third outing.

Death to Bond?
You wish. The next Bond movie comes out next year. When is,er, Bourne releasing his next?

JeSoul:
lol . . . which kin god? Craig is average jare. . . I am willing to bet Vescucci packs more ammo than danny boy .
I dunno what all the fuss was about him in Casino Royale I have been looking and I still don't see it

Er, JeSoul, glasses?

JeSoul:
Statham needs a kick for accepting useless roles like Crank and the Transporter 3 . . . does he not have any hopes and dreams of being taken as a serious actor? Maybe. But it was too 'convincing' if you know what I mean.

Who knows for Strathaim? He's already getting typecast,like Vin Diesel, and he'll likely end up the same way. Really liked him in Snatch, though. As for Crowe,he's an amazing actor,but terribly arrogant adn bad-tempered. He would've won another oscar for his role in A Beautiful Mind, but prior to the oscars he insulted a BBC producer cos the latter cut his segment short; insulting the guy's mother and everything. Affected the votes. If not ,he would have won. He was simply amazing in that movie.

that film make sense my guy?, let me know because i need a new series film to start watching now.

It's law stuff, and it can be repetitious. The Practice or Boston legal is better. [quote][/quote]@iice
So this is where you've been hiding.

confetti:
Hi Room,

I quite appreciate all advises here. Would like to say that it has helped me take decision about this whole thing.

@ Mad_Max, Truth is sometimes u get confused about issues u feel like knowing other pples opinion, all the same thanks for your candid words.

@donnie, Thanks for your kind words. I think thats the most important thing in life - PURPOSE. I ve actually tried to define it and the new guy doesnt fit in. lov u too.

@ Jagoon, I said we have been friends not lovers. The issue of marriage came up now that he wants to settle down and truth is he is the kind of person i did love to marry if only he were born again but he is not. All the same, thanks for your candid words.

Fact is I have taken a decision on this. I told the new guy off so I dont keep anybody in suspense
Many thanks to all.

Good for you,sweetie. One understands your confusion- having feelings for someone for eight years is really serious- but deep down you're not confused at all. Just, please don't let other people make these important decisions for you. Advice is fine, but the decisions must be yours.

JeSoul:
lol . . . that explains a lot
But for real, I was disappointed after watching QOS . . . what a Bourne wannabe.

Oh my lawd what doth my eye espieth? Did you just call Daniel Craig, DANIEL CRAIG, a Bourne Wannabe?!!! Does your bleedin' Bourne have the body of a god?Me thinketh not. Does he have the steel, the flash, the look, the cruelty of Craig? In your dreams,baby! Bourne is a wet-behind-the-ears-it's-not-about-saving-the-world-but-saving-my-ass puppy. He's not bad, but he is NOT a man.Craig's 007 is.  They are not in the same galaxy, missy! 

Oh,er, the Tom Wellings thing. Well, my brothers and cousins are in on this. The entries reflect the majority nominations. I nominated James Gandolfini for Best Actor is a TV series (He is absolutely superb as Tony Soprano, and better than all the other nominees put together) but they wouldn't second it and no one nominated him here so I couldn't add it. The actor is need of a kick award is not necessarily for the actor, but the film or tv role you want to kick him for, for being annnoying. Almost all the guys want to kick Tom Welling; they think he's a wuss for taking four seasons to 'get' Lana, and that he's an annoying goody two-shoes. James  Someone wanted to kick Straitham for Transporter 3 and wasn't seconded; no one here nominated him, so I couldn't add it.

Karm, your nominations are included in there; you're the only one who has three nominations included in best TV series alone.
Vote and let's have the winners declared. JS voted, and she didn't have nominees. Cool, isn't she?
Spiked? Your votes?Um, er, James Franco is getting a kick for his role in Milk. Guys voted overwhelmingly for it. Don't know why.

vescucci:
Also, about Crowe's belly, I dare say, one day Danny Craig will look like Leslie Nielson (not sure about d name though) and I won't even like him as much.

Actually, I'm crazy in love with Ken Watanabe. Craig is my little thing on the side, the Other Man. Those steely blue eyes can only get steelier and bluer, however old he gets. 
Crowe is still young, and he looked fit in last year's 3.10 to Yuma with Christian Bale. How many years ago was Gladiator and Proof of Life and Meg Ryan's marriage-costing affair with him? Maybe he looked like that on purpose in State of Play?

You'll love Willis' character. Yeah, it is star-studded, come to think of it.

Though you'll see thru the plot halfway into the movie,and Morgan Freeman's peformace is only bleh, it's not bad. Worth watching.

You should check out BOLT and WALL-E. BOLT is a sort of puppy Truman Show. You'll love 'em both!
Heard Panda 2 is in the works. It should be good. I wasn't surprised Angelina Jolie played Tigress; she and those 'female machismo' (if there's such a thing) roles. Lucy Liu( Snake) isn't doing done much. Hasn't done anything worthwhile since Kill Bill. She's such a good actress; look how fab she was in Lucky Number Slevin.

That's obviuosly the magazine's intent.
Which of the contenders for best animation have you seen? Bolt, Kung Fu Panda or WALL-E?

vescucci:
Rub it in, why don't ya

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'!

The part I don't get is why you need other people to tell you whom to marry, why you leave such an incredibly important decision to other people's 'visions'. If you have no feelings for the new guy, forget him. Love is the basis of marriage.There is nothing mystical about Christian marriage; christians fall in love exactly the way non-Christians do, only they might be attracted by different things. If you really love God you can bet He won't let you wind up with the wrong person, unless you don't listen to your spirit. Even though it has been telling you the man you have such strong feelings for isn't for you, you went on to date him. You broke it off, but are now looking for an excuse to go back to him.
Since your 'vision-seeing' friends aren't telling you what you want to hear, you're doing what you do best;posting on a forum so other people can tell you what to do. Can't you make your own decisions? You seem to know the right thing to do but can't seem to follow through. You're looking for people to tell you what to do so if it goes wrong, you can have someone else to blame apart from yourself.

It'll be very hard, but you need distance from your old flame while you sort yourself out. Talk to God about your feelings and let Him alone tell you what to do. STOP seeking other people's opinions on whom to marry, for crying out loud. You can listen to what God has to say on the matter. If he says yes to your love- Yayyyy! If he says no, then it's no.Of course, you can always disregard what He says and go ahead and marry your flame anyway. You must have had qualms in your spirit about dating him when you first met and you went ahead and dated him anyway. It's your choice.

ThiefOfHearts:
Nothing interest me. I hate Spring/Summer. That's when all that bullshit blockbuster movies come out.

Something decent. Anything will do.
What has Vanity Fair done to that poor girl?What is she, some American teeny bopper from the sixties? Can't she be Indian and on the cover of Vanity Fair?

vescucci:
You guys make it look like I was born yesterday. Cut all this nostalgic wahala already.

You had to be there. The 80s was the time to be a kid. You don't know what you missed.

Will watch Cardillac records and skip all the Beyonce parts. Yeah, no way she's in Whitney's category.
Your nominations have been added, Spiked. What on earth did Zach Efron do? You sound like you could throttle the guy if he gets within a mile of you.
Has anyone seen anything good? I tried to watch Watchmen and couldn't.

I haven't seen many of his movies but I liked his performance in Crash. He was convincing. And he wasn't rapping, was he? Must Beyonce open her freakin trap in every freakin movie to show us she can sing?

RichyBlacK:
ARC 2 sounds vaguely familiar. I can't remember The Man in the Briefcase. I remember Vegas - that was wayback!

COSMOS endeared me to the master-teacher Carl Sagan. He made me realize that very complex subjects, if properly understood, can be broken down and explained to a 10-year old.
*Howard's Way got me interested in the UK. I loved that drama!
*Cockcrow at Dawn was phenomenal! Bongos Ikwe's music was heavenly!
*You remember Randall and Hopkins - sweet.
*Robin of Sherwood was made by the gods for the enjoyment of mortals! I've ordered the whole episodes from Netflix and re-watched everything. The music by CLANNAD, my No.1 Celtic music group! I adore CLANNAD and have about 14 of their albums - on CD! Call me old school  .
*Bigfoot and Wildboy - you recall this? Wow!
*Sandoka! You must have grown up in Lagos in the 80's. I think it was only NTA Channel 10 Lagos that ever aired Sandoka. I may be wrong though. I want to buy the DVDs. Any ideas?
*CI5 was the epitome of action in the 80s.
*The Saint - "My name is Templar, Simon Templar".
*Do you remember Space 1999? I missed that one on my list. Maya, that girl that could transform into some monster!
*The Invisible Man was so entertaining, my mom never missed an episode.

I held back sweet tears of nostalgia while making up that list. May God make our futures as glowingly beautiful as those shiny moments in our pasts. Amen.

Yes, I did grow up in Lagos in the 80s. Didn't the whole world?

I don't remember Sandokan much. I was little. But I know he was a pirate and was just awesome with a sword. We'd all go a little mad whenever we hear the theme music and destroyed the living room with imaginary swords and 'killed' anybody who tried to stop us. Isn't it available online for download?Perhaps the DVD could be got at Amazon or ebay. It would so cool to see those again. Vegas was more recent than Sandoka, I think. I never saw Space 1999.

Howard's Way I followed religiously, but it wasn't completed. A lot of these series were made many years before they were aired on local TV. Sandoka was made in the 70s and aired locally in the 80s. You'd think they'd know which series had a finale,beofre they got one hooked.

Yeah, I remember Big Foot. The guy would come jumping from some height and land on someone's car. I can't recall the plot of a single episode, though. Man in the Briefcase was an amazing series. Totally addictive.

Those CI5 guys were the epitome of cool. I wanted to be them.
The invisible Man. I'd forgotten that one till I saw it on your list.Just delicious.
Do you remember The Bionic Woman and Man from Atlantis?

Robin of Sherwood is just PHENOMENAL. That theme- The only words were
Roooooo, bin
The Hooded Man

And yet I'd get goose bumps. I LOVED the music so. CLANNAD? I'm checking them out.

Spiked, you nominate Badass awards without mentioning the movies they were badasses in. And the kids actors, no mention of the movies where they blew your mind. Actor in need of a kick, for which movie roles did you want to kick em?
Karm, which soundtracks exactly? Did you mean 'Constant Sorrow' for O Brother Where Art Thou? Cos someone nominated two songs from that movie and neither's been seconded. Mebbe yours'll do it.

You don't have to drop your nominations all at once.That's hard work. Bits and pieces will do.
You can't nominate movies that were nominated for Best Picture oscars for best picture.
Spykn, your nominations?

Sooo, Vesc, beginning to like Depp and Pitt, are we?

Saw Cardillac Records DVD and hissed. Beyonce apparently can't tell the difference between acting and singing. She's played a singer in how many movies now? Temptations, Dreamgirls, The Pink Panther and now Cardillac Records. Other musicians stay away from musical roles and actually try to act: P.Diddy was excellent in Monster's Ball. Ludacris was great in Crash,Madonna, Whitney Houston,and many others. Non-musicians play the singers; Joaquin Phoenix, Angela Basset, Fishburne,etc.

Yes, she can carry a tune. Must she bore one half to death by bawlin' on stage, on screen and anywhere else they'd let her? Is she afraid if she doesn't sing in a movie people will realise she has nothing else to offer? What is with her? Not watching that movie even if Brody and Union are in it.

Nominations will be updated.

Oh Vesc,sweetie, you're in love? That is so wonderful! She must be tremendous.I'm so happy, sweetie. Yes, I'll email you. Awwwwwww.
