Bastille Day.

@Tim has a point though, as his best work is in The Wire and Luther.

[Tim]

He's a decent actor, but he doesn't have the presence to carry lead roles in films.

This was Tim's Big Call of the week.

Except that wasn't really Tim's point, if he'd said his best work has been on TV then yeah, I'd agree, but suggesting he has no big screen presence is plainly false.

Hell, he even stands out in Thor where he's just stands around.

[Tim]

Now you can agree with my great point.

He's been mentioned as a possible James Bond. That's pretty good cred

[Tim]

@mn5 It means nothing until he's on screen.

Anyway, he'd be a lousy Bond. Even worse that the current charisma-vacuum.

Yep you're right. Bond is a white guy for starters. Craig is brilliant though.

Clive Owen should've been Bond, and Mike Hodges should've directed the films.

Wrong. Craig brought much needed life into a dying franchise. Casino Royale is one of the best bonds ever.

Ok, clearly I don't have to take anything you say about actors seriously ... Gerard Butler next on your list?

[Bovidae]

Now I agree with @Nepia - Clive Owen has zero personality on screen.

[Tim]

You lot should watch Croupier. He's outstanding in it.

Most of the time he's just bored in movies.

[MN5]

Ferners to have a movie night with......

Tim

[taniwharugby]

this is gold!

@taniwharugby

Well, it's not often that you get two of Tim's Big Calls in one day.

[taniwharugby]

Elba was good in Zootopia and The JUngle Book

I think he's fine, not great but good enough, if I see a film with him usually know what you are gonna get.

Maybe Anthony Starr could be the first kiwi Bond? He's already well used to shagging the hot birds and beating up on the bad guys

George Lazenby did a great job. Yeah I could easily see old Hood in the role come to think of it.

@mn5 An extremely dull film.

Even a b-movie "evil internet" thriller like Untraceable (2008) was vastly more entertaining.

Bonds been going successfully for 55 years. I think this renders your point somewhat moot.
