The world must be going under!
Women actresses that have their mouth open all the time or strut their lips in an idiotic way have been annoying me for a while. Yesterday, I went to see the lastest James Bond film. I must admit that I was very skeptical as the only reason I have gone to see James movies
in the past was to watch Pierce Brosnan's spectualar performance as James Bond (read as "to drool over").
It was a big shock realizing that the new James Bond, Daniel Craig was doing the typical strutting model lips. Silly model lips on a man?!?! He looked like Zoolander! Now, I loved the Zoolander movie but there he was making fun of the models... he wasn't trying to be the world's most charming movie character, James Bond.
The world must be going under!
A license to pout
Nerves of steel, a license to kill and pouting lips.. what more can you ask for? :-D
Daniel Craig seems to have gotten mostly positive criticism, despite all the incertainity prior to the movie about if he would fit in the role. It was also said that the reworked script to Casino Royale was the perfect movie to start off his Bond career, as it takes place at the very beginning of 007.
The big question is how they will do the next movie. As far as I understand, all the genuine Ian Fleming books have already been filmed, and at least one or two of the most recent movies were written by other people, mixing general ideas from several books. It didn't turn out so well, but on the other hand, can they re-make some 1960-70's Bond movies? Oh well, they remake all other kinds of movies, so why not those...
I was going to suggest that he could audition for a possible remake of M*A*S*H, but I figure out that Hot Lips is a female character...
Pouting lips!
Ah yes! Pouting lips was the word I was looking for:-).
I am still a bit puzzled why this movie got such good reviews. The beginning was excellent but then it turned into a chickflick. Didn't think James Bond fans liked that.
I am sure they will just write some new scripts. They are gonna be able to keep on going for years. No matter what some people just "have to" see every James Bond movie. They would have to do many really bad ones in a row to be able to scare people off. Sad!
You lost me with M*A*S*H never seen that one:-)

Maybe it is what you write: the fans (assuming most guys) "have to" see the movie, no matter how much of a chickflick it turns into. The girlfriends are inspired to follow, and for just a little effort, the cinema has at least increased their attendance by 30%, assuming that a few girls would've followed their boyfriend to the movie even if they were not overly interested in the James Bond movie. If in the next movie, he will really have an affair with another man (probably not graphic, since Bond movies rarely are graphic in that respect), they will attract yet one more category of movie goers!
Without looking it up, I'm not sure which of pouting or puckering lips is the best word to describe the action. The more botox or other foreign stuff you put into them, the fewer different moods you can show. Not that I accuse Mr. Craig for have done something like that.
