All I can say is... um, what?

He has just proved his ladykilling credentials by seducing Sienna Miller from under the nose of his friend, Jude Law.

Now Daniel Craig is about to become the biggest seducer of all - Ian Fleming's James Bond.

The actor, who found fame as Geordie in the BBC series Our Friends in the North in 1996, got the job after an 18-month mission to replace Pierce Brosnan.

Scores of others, including Law himself, Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom, were considered but rejected.

In the end a shortlist of two emerged - Craig and newcomer Henry Cavill. The pair were auditioned again and tried on tuxedos to see how they would look in the quintessential Bond clothing.

Craig, 37, whose choice will be confirmed by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson later this week, will be the sixth Bond, but the first blond.

He will star in the 21st Bond film, based on Ian Fleming's first book Casino Royale.

Craig has said he does not like the fact that the films are more about gadgets than feelings.

He added: 'It's a big machine and it makes a lot of money - so why would you change something that makes a lot of money?'

And here he is, ladies.. the new gentleman superspy:

Puke.

**SVZ** · October 11th, 2005, 11:20 AM

ugh. he looks like one of the guys you'd find jerking off in the porno section at blockbuster

**Grimmlok** · October 11th, 2005, 11:24 AM

Blockbuster doesn't ave porno sections!

**SVZ** · October 11th, 2005, 11:26 AM

really? i've never looked, but i assumed all video stores had a porn section

**Grimmlok** · October 11th, 2005, 11:30 AM

Not Blockbuster.. they're owned by some christian conglomerate, so its supposed to be reasonably free of smut. However i heard rumours that the copiesof the films that end up in their outlets are edited to take out content that's 'offensive'

I haven't seen any gay-themed movies there either, unlike Rogers video.

What the? Has the studio lost all respect for the James Bond franchise?
We're talking Sean Connery here.....

Course, Timothy Dalton was no real prize either.

He looks pretty Bondish in this third pic. Kinda cute, in a rugged, wind-blown kind of way. But I don't dig on blonds, so I say "meh."

Totally OT:
BLOCKBUSTER CAN SUCK MY DICK AND TICKLE MY BIG FAT HAIRY BALLS! Burn in hell, Blockbuster, burn in hell.

What a letdown. No offense toward this guy, but why was he better than Colin or a hottie who can act like Christian Bale, or even Hugh Jackman??

Never been a big fan of the Bond franchise, but I def. won't be catching these movies now.
