THE SPY WHO SNUBBED ME

Pierce Brosnan is no fan of Daniel Craig's 007 - In an interview with Female First (see, told you lot I have a feminine side) the actor - who played the suave spy in four movies until 2002's 'Die Another Day' - hasn't seen Daniel take on the role of 007 in either 'Casino Royale' or 'Quantum of Solace' even though he has tried to see the films.

Pierce said: "I haven't seen Daniel in the role. I tried watching it on an airplane. I thought 37,000 feet was a good distance to watch it from and it broke down right at the beginning. The attendant came and changed it and it broke down a second time, so I figured, 'OK. The Gods must be saying something...' So I never went near it! I just thought, 'Let sleeping dogs lie.'"

I'm no fan of Brosnan's Politically Correct, emasculated-by-femisnists take on 007, but he's correct regarding Craig--and any other Bond who isn't Sean Connery--they just don't measure up.

I am a total fan of Pierce's Bond! He had the right balance of absolutely drop dead gorgeous, with humour and yet deadly charm and a ruthless streak. Craig just plays a thug but it seems fashionable to bash Brosnan. Why would he bother to see either of the latest Bond films? I wouldn't if I were him. He was obviously upset at the time of losing his job but I'm sure he is very happy with the roles he gets now. Lots more to stretch his talents. And best of all no more ridiculous one liners!

Chrissie - I too much prefer Pierce to the new James Bland.
