Re: And the new James Bond is...
[ QUOTE ]
Characteristics of a good James Bond.
1) Confident
2) Good with the ladies
3) Credible in a fight with a Russian Goon.
What does hair have to do with it. Besides this guy was "Handsome Rob" in the Italian Job. You may like your men hairy but it is not a requirement for Bond.

This is the most hilariously ironic post on 2+2 today. I love Jason Statham -- awesome actor, great in action movies, etc. -- but he's been pretty much out of the closet for a while in many circles, and America just isn't ready for a gay James Bond. It's the same reason Rupert Everett didn't get the role, and he's even more out of the closet. If we're still laughing at the Brokeback Mountain trailer (pathetic reactions from the knuckle-dragging homophobes in theaters around the nation), then we won't accept Statham as Bond -- when his preferences inevitably become more well-known as his star rises.
