Driez206MemberAfter a hiatus from the forums during the weekend, I am surprised to find the thread go the way it has. Yes there are plenty of “real world” issues to discuss but I don’t think the internet is the place to discuss those things. Nothing will be done in Syria because we are posting on the internet about it. NOTHING. I posted this originally for the same reason people rant about this business or that. Does it matter to the whole world? no, but it matters to some and I wanted to see other people’s thoughts on the casting of him. And honestly while I don’t like the casting I wasn’t going to go to the theater and watch the movie even if it was the best casting in the world.

JanSParticipantsince I mentioned Syria, I have at least one acquaintance who asked what was going on over there..they didn’t even know. I think that’s why I threw that in there. The casting is definitely 1st world problems, and it tells you where peoples heads are at. I, too, won’t see the movie(not into blockbuster movies like that, a personal choice)…and high fives to Patrick for injecting some humor… :)

SmittyParticipantWith all due respect Jan, if there are so many more important things than this (and there are) why are you wasting your time chiming in? Shouldn’t you start a Syria (or your frustration with ingorant Americans) thread rather than bumping this to the top?
That said, if the benchmark is Syria then let’s do away with oil changes, garage sales, computer geeks and men sleeping in cars too.

JanSParticipantit’s a public forum, Smitty…I’m sorry you feel that way…it all belongs…and that’s my opinion, mine alone, I guess. My point was…oh, never mind…not worth it…

GrazieParticipantBA cast as anything gets a Thumbs Down – past reviews of his “acting” being “wooden” (mentioned in a recent NPR blurb) are Spot On.
Guessing that those who are perturbed over a poor casting choice for a beloved icon are not any-the-less-concerned over horrific world events; just discussing One Thing At A Time.
So, for THIS thread, BOO for the Ben choice!

gmabettyParticipantAs for individual choices—I can’t see why the last 007 was chosen. Many do but my friends and I feel he doesn’t compare with the class of those in the past.
I’m not interested in who Batman is but new never always matters. But going to the President?? I bet he had a laugh.
As to this Forum— Agreeing to disagree is fine but don’t like to see it get so intense at times.
