Maybe Daniel Craig should look in to being one of the main guys in a Nicholas Sparks movie if he wants to feel more creative and have more meaning...

I look at it like this, if you want long and deep character development go into tv, you have to damn near make a perfect movie to get it in a 2-3 hr movie and even then you still will not likely get that.

He's already been there. He got to bang Rooney Mara's character in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

That was one weird movie.

You notice a good number of well known actors and actresses doing just that these days and there's very good money to be made doing these strong budget series' on premium networks like HBO and Showtime.

Ya know...I forgot about that. That was an interesting movie.

He made that between Bond films.

Do you watch "The Blacklist"? James Spader does an awesome job in it.

I haven't but have heard I need to see it. Spader's a very good example of a solid actor of the silver screen who has turned his focus to doing TV.

I stick to FX and HBO shows these days...watch a few others but mainly those two channels when it comes to a series.

I'm sure he's in dept because he's been blowing through his millions trying to fix his son.

He still has his private island in the Bahamas that cost him $7million. He got rid of a large portion of his Ferrari collection to get out of the debt his financial advisor got him in to. The guy who should be burned at the stake is the guy who was supposed to be managing his money and was instead burning through it and stealing from him.

wasn't he the same adviser that got W. Snipes in trouble too.

I remember reading that a while back. Snipes was not as lucky and couldn't sell stuff off and work his way through the courts.

If you haven't already, check out the Daredevil series on Netflix.

I promise it will help you forget the Ben Affleck movie of the same name.

I'm watching Narcos on Netflix right now which has been very good. My sister told me to watch daredevil and I haven't yet. Guess I need to put that one on the list.

It's my opinion. I'm not trying to promote anything in my favor. Despite some actors doing it better than others, Bond has always had a fairly constant personality, and the movies a certain tone. The new "darker" Bond figure is an instance (to me) where producers ran out of ideas and had to put their own original take on a classic character.

I've read it was done in response to the huge success of the Bourne films.

Changing it up every once in a while isn't exactly a bad thing either...James Bond has been around since what...the early 60's?

Nope...it was because of the Austin Powers movies. They made them so "funny" and "comical" that the writers thought "there's no way they could pull it off like that" so they went with the direction they went. Heard it on an interview with Daniel Craig.
