People hate Daniel Craig

If you don't recognize the name, it's because he's one of those actors who's been under the radar doing good work (in films like Munich and Layer Cake) and hasn't yet thrown it all away on some big budget studio movie. Oh wait, he's also playing the next James Bond in the new 007 movie, Casino Royale.


And let me tell ya, people are PISSED. There are websites, like danielcraigisnotbond.com, devoted to making people boycott this movie because of Craig. 007 superfans across the world have united to spread the word that Daniel Craig is, well, not Pierce Brosnan. Check out this sample letter the folks at danielcraigisnotbond.com are urging people to send to the studios:

As a result of our overall unhappiness with your plans for James Bond, a film character we have enjoyed for many years now, I must inform you that we all plan to boycott the new film Casino Royale, and any subsequent Bond films or DVDs featuring the odd-looking, dour Mr. Craig. Furthermore, nothing short of immediately dismissing Mr. Craig would change our minds. We are also urging everyone we know to boycott as well. Most of the people we know share our disappointment with replacing the Pierce Brosnan with Daniel Craig.

I like how Pierce Brosnan gets called "the Pierce Brosnan." Aside from overpraising Brosnan, most of these people complain that Daniel Craig does not look the part. Haters say Bond should be taller, bigger and not blonde. To which I say... Seriously? The Bond movies are about spywork, fast luxury cars, sexy women and explosions. If you're bitching about Craig's looks, I suggest you spend less time urging others to boycott and more time in the kitchen baking someone a flan.
