So What Was The Story With The Bonds?


All we got was Halle Berry. This must have all been a fix.

I heard that 4 of the Bonds were game for it, but Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan refused. They both have feuds going on with the Broccoli family.

Well, it would have been nice to know before they did all of the spots saying that at least some of them were going to be there.

kept waiting, waiting..... the two song tribute.... waiting... did i hear the ad for it incorrectly.... somebody forgot to tell them they work in hollywood and could have pulled a better tribute with or without the guys.

Shirley Bassey didn't do it for me. All it did was point out how perfectly she did it almost 50 years ago and now she's old and can't bring in that power that was in the original.

I thought Dame Shirley was fab! i mean, for being 76 years old, she certainly performed pretty damn well. Let's just be thankful they used her and not one of these current performers who coulden't compare. It would have been awsome if they could have gotten Tina Turner to sing Goldeneye too!

Sean Connery is retired from Show biz. Not sure he would even come. Daniel Craig said he was definitely not coming. That leaves Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton who haven't had a succesful movie in so long they probably couldn't afford the airfare.

What a great surprise to see Shirley Bassey on the stage! Just love award shows that have classic stars along w/some younger. Streisand, Fonda, Plummer, Nicholson etc.. was fabulous!

Next year how about adding glam with Cher and Raquel?

Craig Daniels said he was definitely not coming.
