That’s what I remembered!Pedestrian?! I think you've forgotten Pierce Brosnan windsurfing on a badly rendered CGI tsunami.

You need someone ridiculous like Roger Moor to portray how ridiculous the character is, it’s the same film over and over again in a different location, different car, watch and baddie, utter garbage.

Yup. For sure.
The character he plays in that is basically the Connery era Bond with the menace level dialled down half a dozen notches, and taking life / himself much less seriously. He's already got the misogynistic traits dialled back enough for the current generation, just add in a bit more of the required xenophobia / proper distaste for all things foreign and foreigners (barring the ones who look like supermodels) - job done.
I think he'd be brilliant

As long as he hasn't got sticky-outy ears, I'm fairly open to suggestions. One cannot be cool, sauve, & be taken seriously as MI6 assasin #1.. if one has sticky-outy ears.
Lots of hunkyspunks, but I saw some jewish-surnamed spunkyhunk mentioned recently, with hair like Samson.. who caught my eye. He'd be good. Fk knows what his name was.

Are you bald, or a semi baldy?

Semi-baldy. It's time for Bond to go in a new direction on the hair front.

No I'm afraid you are not suitable then. We can't have a baldy Bond.
Sticky outy ears, balding, or an excessive overbite (or underbite) are incompatible prerequisites for a Bond.

What the Bond franchise needs is the right actor - but also, decent script, and decent Director. In 60yrs, still hasn't quite got there.
I can't abide Sam Mendes direction in anything - and so for me his twee/ sentimental approach killed the Craig era. Ghastly - but it had been dealt an early blow already by the studio strikes that ruined Quantum of Solace. I still think there was a very good sequel to Casino Royale, hiding in there in plain sight - but ruined by exigent pressures.
Timothy Dalton got the Fleming intent of 'ruthless to slightly cruel, callous playboy' right-on - but with tacky script suiting the era, and poor production.
The first, Dr. No, Connery's first outing - met the intent of the book. Playing 'patience' while calming waiting to assassinate the guy at home. Chandler-esque, but charming*. A product of its age for sure - prob my fave.
Roger Moore (perfect name of a 'Bond') - well: early Seventies camp. Quite brilliant at it, and of course Goldfinger is the Christmas afternoon film - file under 'guilty-pleasure.'
No suggestions or even requests for 'who next' - frankly, at this late age: the franchise is done.
* & cleverly referenced in the pre-roll of 2006 Casino Royale. There's lot went right with that one

I think Daniel Craig’s ears are a bit sticky out?

The franchise is done, indeed. Time to retire it altogether.
And apparently I'm not the only who thinks Skyfall was dire, then. Mendes just didn't get it. I'm still not sure how it was possible to hollow out something that had so little substance to begin with, but he managed it.

Yup, well spotted SuePT.
The thread's about the new bond, so I'm saying we mustn't have any more stickyoutyness. We've had a decade+ of this silly man with his ears & I've had enough.
I'm a real Bond nerd me you see. Bond toys as a kid, mesmerised by the films, & still have full-on Bond sunday nights where I shout at the telly, still enthralled at 50 something. I care about the new Bond. No more with the ears already.
