I don't think that each time a new actor takes up the Bond character it means it's a new person using that identity. Nor do I think that "this never happened to the guy" line was meant to imply different people, just simply an in-joke. Just like Sean Connery's reference in The Rock was an in-joke to his Bond movies.
I think Bond is Bond, the same guy. Granted his age has varied for 40 years. I guess it's up to your own opinion.
And if anyone should be M it should be Sean Connery. A tip of the hat to his days as 007.
quote:IMDB: According to television news reports on 11 Nov. 2002, Sean Connery filmed a cameo as James Bond's father. However, when it was realized that GoldenEye (1995) and the Ian Fleming novels had established that Bond was an orphan, it was necessary to cut the scene to maintain continuity.

After all zis time, I still don't think Russell Crowe should ever play Bond.
I don't think it's prestigous anymore to be Bond, and Crowe has always been a cool badass, he was great in "Virtuosity", that's as far as I think he should be funny, that is sadism-funny, Pacino-funny.
If he would be Bond, he would be forced by the director to be pompous.
I think Crowe should stick to the Eastwood-side of 'cool', not the Bond/Ace Ventura-side, i.e smartass.

I've never seen a Bond movie. Ever. Not a one.
But the boy has decided that in light of the new movie coming out, this must change... so, apparently, we're going to have a Bond movie-fest, then go see the new movie..... Lord, help me... It's going to be something to remember, I'm sure....

characterization FYI: there is a great distance between delivering sly double entendres over a martini, and bending over and making it look like your butt cheeks are talking. i wouldnt group those two together.

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
