Yeah, you can only do that so many times. I really think that's why the series has failed lately. It has become stale. They need something new. Maybe a dark Bond would do that. This is a day and age when dark action is not a bad thing and many recognize that the series is bottoming out. Back when the Dalton Bonds came out, people were still accustomed to the softer Bond that Warbler likes. It was before the series hit the skids. Now that it's firmly entrenched on the skids, I think they can get away with making a change of this magnitude.

Change is good.

I hereby resign my position with Mangler Bro Inc., and am longer temp leader of Mangler Bro Inc.


See? Was that so tough? Who knows, we might still freelance you.

Damn you Ricardo. I was just about to post mine. I'll do it anyway and then get yours...

Grégoire Oestermann (Comme un image) Jean-Pierre Bacri (Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre) Monica Bellucci (Tears of the Sun) Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction) SLJ

All came back to SLJ. Oh, and you meant Kill Bill vol 2, right? SLJ wasn't in 1. At least, not according to IMDb.

Bloom better be some fangirl fantasy and nothing else. I couldn't take him as Bond. I can't take him in anything he does. And the more I see him in, the less I like his past roles. Sad, since he's such a dominant character in the LOTR films.

Brosnan never did it for me as Bond. Not Brosnan himself, per se. Back in the 80s when he was being courted, I loved the idea. Even when he was cast in the 90s I thought he would be great. But the movies he was in all sucked.

I know I'm gonna be flamed for this, but Dalton was so much better. License to Kill is great!

Isn't that always the case? No amount of rebuttal stories or rescinding of "facts" from stories can ever clear the names of the innocent once a mass media story is out there. And they never care, either. In magazines and newspapers, they wind up in a small box on an inside page. On news reports, they wind up as half thoughts mentioned offhandedly as though they're no big deal. Not only should police (or whoever is really to blame) be held responsible, but the media should as well. I dunno how that would work, but it would be nice.

Comcast wins NHL rights after ESPN declines

Comcast Corp. on Thursday said it closed a multiyear deal with the National Hockey League to broadcast games on its Outdoor Life cable network, after ESPN declined to match Comcast's offer.

Financial terms and contract length were not disclosed.

The league previously had a five-year deal with ABC and ESPN, divisions of Walt Disney Co. But according to press reports, the networks chose not to exercise an option to broadcast games for the 2005 to 2006 and 2006 to 2007 seasons.

Comcast's deal hinges on several advanced video technologies including video-on-demand highlights and library footage of greatest hockey moments, high-definition video coverage, and the ability to view two games that are streamed over the Internet.

OLN will broadcast at least 58 regular-season games, beginning Oct 5.

Some on Wall Street have expected Comcast to take on cable sports network leader ESPN with its OLN network.

But on a recent conference call with analysts, top executives shot down the speculation, and said they were more likely to fashion a new sports network that emphasized high-tech features such as video on demand.

Renaming the network, once known as the Outdoor Life Network, was likely key: professional hockey is an indoor game.
