Did you know that Sony is considering having Pierce Brosnan back in the role of James Bond in a remake of the movie Thunderball? Actually, this is a completely unsubstantiated rumor that is floating around, so don't take my word for it. All things considered, though, there are a lot of Bond fans who would rather see Brosnan back than wait to see Daniel Craig in the forthcoming Casino Royale. They'll have to be contented with something like the excellent - if impractical - Aston Martin Wheel Spinner chrome paperweight. It manages to evoke the glory days of Bond as only everything Aston Martin can and might make a slick consolation gift to a disappointed fan. Price: £102.13.

I for one am totally tired of Brosnan's altogether too polished and debonair portrayal of James Bond.

It is time that this series be brought back to the James Bond that Ian Fleming created and which we saw in Sean Connery's first portrayl of 007 in Dr. No.

Fleming's James Bond was:
More human, less superhero - he was a "real" spy who used real gadgets, got into real trouble, the love of his life was murdered, and he didn't always win.

He fought for the "good guys" but his license to kill methods were not always very nice

He may have dressed sharply and been handsome, but he had a "cruel and sinister" face.

Ian Fleming created a realistic spy based on real knowledge of what a spy's life was like, what tools he had access to, and who his real-life enemies were. The James Bond of the last few decades (although thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining) has been a completely overblown Hollywood superhero, with a predictable formula, an obvious plot, and an ending that we all know before we get there.

Give us something new, something realistic, something terrifying and adventourous at the same time - give us the REAL James Bond - BRING ON Daniel Craig!
