Vote just because I loathe seeing him currently trailing Clive "it's the coal man" Owen"

Sigh... I abstain from my standard web-browsing for two days, and promptly miss a poll. Did the SMA at least get good results? (I get frustrated just thinking about who might have won. )

When I was there, he was in second place.

Thanks, cg!

Steele I think he should have been #1, just to teach certain people a lesson.

Instead of opening another topic I just changed the name for the new MSNBC poll:

Evidently MSNBC is Bond poll crazy. In their Entertainmnet section they have another one. So far it has 166,500 votes, more than 50% are for Pierce

Isn't the result mind-boggling? I'm sure nobody would have guessed.

[Myrtle Groggins]

All I know is some of those "choices" in the MSN article listed by Ace, shouldn't even be considered -- talk about losers!

Very few can hold a candle to Pierce.

[Myrtle Groggins]

Well, this Daniel creep is mighty low down the list in these polls. Makes you wonder what TIIC are thinking!

Put this in Matador and thought it belongs here as well since it covers both

Pierce Pierced by Bond Producers

Pierce Brosnan doesn’t mince words when it comes to the producers of the James Bond movies.

In the new issue of Premiere magazine, Brosnan recalls what led to his dismissal from playing 007 after four movies.

In fact, Brosnan concisely uses the F-word to describe his disappointment. Yes, he would have liked to do a fifth movie. “We were just getting the hang of it,” he insists.

Something I thought was interesting: he learned about the dismissal while he was shooting "After the Sunset" with Salma Hayek. That was some time ago. And the Premiere interview was done before the news that "Layer Cake" star Daniel Craig, 15 years Brosnan’s junior, would be stepping into 007’s highly polished shoes. His agents actually called him right before he shot a love scene with Hayek. Talk about being distracted!

If I were Brosnan, I’d let it go. His new movie, "The Matador," is a winner. He will without a doubt get a Golden Globe nomination in that group’s comedy category. He could even land an Oscar nomination depending on how the rest of this fall’s releases fare upon release.

Right now, semi-finalists in the actor category include Ralph Fiennes, Philip Seymour Hoffman and David Straitharn. Brosnan’s portrayal of a down-and-out hit man is a hoot, and the movie works consistently, through and through. And Hollywood can’t have just character actors in that main category. Oscar needs some movie stars, too!
