Blind Item #8
This former A+ list mostly movie actor still was arguably the greatest at one role which has seen many actors. He has a significant other but for the past two weeks has been spotted emerging from the home of this A list mostly movie actress after her kids go to school.
Brosnan or Craig?
ReplyDeleteBrosnan and Winslet
ReplyDeleteRoger Moore
ReplyDeleteSean Connery
ReplyDeleteWould Brosnan really be considered better than Connery in that role?
ReplyDeleteWell that's good we all think a different Bond was the best one.
ReplyDeleteConnery has dementia I think and too old(as is) Moore who was MY fave Bond..to renevouz with a woman young enough to have have kids going to school, I think anyway
ReplyDeleteI thought Connery was almost incoherent these days. I'm no longer so angry he didn't have a cameo in Indiana Jones Crystal Skullfuckery. I was PISSED, no one in casting thought of my CHILDHOOD!!! But, I now CHOOSE (don't correct me if I'm wrong!) to believe he just wasn't capable of filming anymore by that point. Sads
DeleteThe only other character that comes to kind other than a Bond right now would be Johnny Depp as Hunter S Thompson, which was also played by Bill Murray and I think maybe one other actor?
ReplyDeleteOne of the Who Doctors? I love Pierce Brosnan but I can't see him being the best Bond. OR messing around. What are some other iconic roles...
ReplyDeleteShe was right about everything she said. Spent a bunch of time this wknd deleting....I. C. The blog. Missed it too. But, for chuckles, can we say whatever hall monitor/cafeteria woman screaming "you'll eat what i say"?! Damn you & your dweeby minions. Enough. All speak. No challenge. Stupid
DeleteR
ReplyDeleteD
J
Sherlock Holmes
Oooh, I like Cumberbach as Sherlock waaaay better!
DeleteI think most people do. I hope they do a movie. But I still don't mind RDJ as Sherlock. I would've LOVED Cumsinbatches for Dr Who though. Le sigh
DeleteSilly, I never even thought of him for that role. Was he considered? I'm not sure how I feel about Peter, hopefully he's not too "dark" in the role.
DeleteCraig was least impressive of the lot....not him for this BI anyway lol
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching the movies once Brosnan left. Craig is too prissy looking for the role, IMO.
DeleteAbsolutely agree...I just don't get him as Bond, it reminds me of Christopher Eccelston (Sp) as Dr Who..bad choice.
DeleteThough I do think Connery is the best, with Craig being a close 2nd, I think this is Craig. No one wants that nasty stinkin drunk Connery all up on them.
ReplyDeleteTimothy Dalton and Julia Roberts!
ReplyDeleteNailed it!
Or someone who played Batman there have been
ReplyDeleteMichael Keaton
Clooney
Val Kilmer
Bale
Bale. Nice guess on another franchise.
DeleteRoger Moore is older than Sean Connery. :)
ReplyDeleteMichael Keaton!
ReplyDeleteAgree. It says 'was' A+ list. Some of us are old enough to remember Keaton's run as beetlejuice, mr. Mom, night shift, etc. at one point he was in everything
DeleteMichael Keaton? I wouldn't consider Brosnon mostly movie or A+. I'm thinking Batman and I'd still consider Bale A+ list currently.
ReplyDeleteWhat/who is Michael Keaton doing these days?? Still my favorite batman.
ReplyDeleteNo one thought Batman, huh. Can't make it work, anyway.
ReplyDeleteFine! Post while I'm typing!
DeleteThey posted while I was typing too, Cocoa. Bastards!
DeleteBrosnan has said he thought he wasn't a very good Bond and can't watch himself in those movies. I've never watched a Bond movie, but I did love him with Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown affair. I think I need to watch that again...
ReplyDeleteLOL @ ButterKwup!
Pierce Brosnan: My James Bond was 'never good enough'
It's on Netflix
DeleteOh I need to get Mr. Grand Island into this! I love that movie & I love Pierce!!
DeleteGeorge Clooney?
ReplyDelete+1!
DeleteIt would be hard to argue that Clooney was the best Batman.
DeleteTrue, but the mention of the past two weeks and "significant other" is what strikes me as Clooney
DeleteI think "arguably" is the key word, right? Then Enty can later reveal it as pretty much anyone. :-)
DeleteWouldn't have Enty stated wife as opposed to significant other? All the Bonds with the exception of Dalton are married.
ReplyDeleteConnery must be dick-o-pausic by now. Please, men over 50 and Scottish, DO NOT read my comment.
ReplyDeleteIt could be:
ReplyDeleteBond
Batman
Superman (although Reeves is dead)
Spider-Man
Holmes
Robin Hood
Batmen: Keaton, Bale, Kilmer, Clooney... which of these has "significant others" and not wives?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.. Bale's the best (IMO). But he's married... so, guess not him.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Colin Firth - the role being Mr Darcy. Just to throw another name into the mix.
ReplyDeleteIt can't be Daniel - he is our local big name celeb, seen in an off licence just round the corner from my house just a few weeks back on a trip back 'home'. On that basis alone he is untouchable.
I think this is Johnny Depp or George Clooney
ReplyDeleteI want to know who the A-list woman w/the kids is...
ReplyDeleteColonel totally off market this time( finally)
ReplyDeleteI still think it's a Bond guy
And the actress is gwyneth, I've decided
Making actor LA based where she now is again full time
Keaton is forever my fave too.
ReplyDeleteAw, man, my first thought was a Hamlet, and that this another Kenneth Branagh/Helena Bonham Carter blind.
ReplyDelete*slinks off*
Please not Firth. If McHale is a dog, then at least let Colin be....not that way.
ReplyDeleteCan't it even be a political figure like Abraham Lincoln, someone like Daniel Day Lewis would fit. Or someone who played Jesus? It surely doesn't have to be a comic book character.
ReplyDeleteAww. Jesus cheating? ;)
DeleteProbably with Judas lol.
DeleteMaybe Enty is saying the only good thing this actor did in his career was Bond and then they stank at everything else? Timothy Dalton came to mind but then he's not married even. Dang..Lost another one.
ReplyDeleteThis is Christian Bale. Significant other also means wife. The actress... Kate Hudson.
ReplyDeleteChristian Bale and Kate Hudson share the same agent...
ReplyDeleteKeaton? Kilmer? Clooney? Bale? There is no argument - the best Batman was Adam West
ReplyDeleteChoosing Jokers between Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Cesar Romero is worthy of a debate..
'Hand me down...the sharp repellant Bat-Spray!'
DeleteI wouldn't call Bale a "former" A+ mostly movie actor.
ReplyDeleteI would call Keaton one, though. But there'd have to be a somewhat significant age difference between Keaton and an A-list mostly movie actress with kids still in school...
Ray Nicolet
ReplyDeleteOMG How the hell did I miss this yesterday?
DeleteOh yeah, I was taking the most difficult final I've ever encountered and then had to work.
Eh, Keaton can still get it. He is the greatest actor of all time.
it says 'former' A+.
ReplyDeletethat lets out some of the guesses. i liked the bale guess.
I agree Bale and Hudson - she fools around with anybody and everybody.
ReplyDeleteConnery was the only Bond. Everyone else is, at best, a pale imitation.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Roger Moore second.
DeleteTIMOTHY OLYPHANT
ReplyDeletejeez I've been trying to post this comment for like an hour now and the mobile version of this site hates my phone. Well this was way more amusing an hour ago...
@Violet, I am ashamed to admit that I thought Firth for Darcy, but would it say "significant other" when he's been married for nearly 20 years? Plus... who would it be? (Gags on thought of Nicole Kidman.)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I loved RDJ's Sherlock Holmes' movies, but they were like fun fanfic cousins of the actual canon. To say his was the best (even arguably) Sherlock is just plain silly. Jeremy Brett, for the best Victorian-era Holmes, IMHO.
Andrew I agree, Connery IS Bond.
ReplyDeleteI also think Keaton was bet Batman. Whatever happened to him, tho, after Batman he kind of died. Hope it's not him. I don't think significant other is a wife.
"Many" actors doesn't signify only 3 or 4 to me. I was also thinking someone like Branaugh, but he's done a ton of theater. But many sounds like it could be something Shakespeare, or yeah Sherlock, altho Benedict doesn't have a SO at this time, and also this is someone older.
@Msgirl: Keaton/Nicholson got major points in Batman, then Keaton again in the subsequent films. He probably had enough $$ he was happy.
ReplyDeleteKurt Russell
ReplyDeleteCharacter: Wyatt Earp
Actress: Jennifer Garner cause lord knows she needs some lovin...
Keaton was definitely A+ in the 80's. Dream Team, Mr. Mom, Clean and Sober.
ReplyDeleteHmm, it's a slightly older man, someone who played a famous role awhile ago,,,been others since,,,he is very famous for it though,,,, woman could be anyone with school age kids. Sounds like something julia roberts would do, but she likes em younger? ,,,Anyway,,can't be Connery or Moore,,,they are too old and very sadly seemingly Connery is suffering from dementia.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford (Jack Ryan)? Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine were the other actors.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lector
ReplyDeleteThe most exciting thing I've learned here is that Timothy Dalton isn't married?!
ReplyDeleteMichael Keaton. Greatest Batman EVER.
ReplyDeleteto each his own, i preferred val kilmer as batman
ReplyDeleteGreat Esquire article on Micheal Keaton, my favorite Batman too:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.esquire.com/features/michael-keaton-interview-0214
He lives up in Montana now. Does what he wants, when he wants. Is in the new Robocop.
Guessing this is Bale.
Bale and Amy Adams. Lots a chemistry from American hustle.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. Did you see how he shunned her at the Oscars? Though I agree onscreen they were Dynomite!! (Shout out to JJ)
DeleteMaybe that's why he shunned her. Humm.
DeleteHis wife was newly preggers. Maybe wanted to avoid awkward run in same way macanahey avoids bullock when with wife. No drama with baby mama ya know
DeleteConnery --> Craig --> Dalton --> Brosnan --> Moore --> Lazenby
ReplyDeleteLazenby---> Dalton ---> Brosnan ---> Moore ---> Craig. I have NEVER liked woman beater/cheater Connery.
DeleteKilmer ---> Bale ---> Keaton. Clooney was awful.
I hope this isn't Brosnan! After his 1st wife and stepdaughter's untimely deaths, he has been thru the ringer, and truly does seem devoted to Keely and their boys.
Keaton..
Olyphant has been married for about 20 years I think. (Damn it). And he's not known for one role although he's made several roles his own.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Connery having dementia. He's my favorite Bond. That said I like Craig's interpretation quite a bit. His Bond is a reboot, a Bond who fits more of today's views.
Whoever said Cumberbatch would make a great Dr. Who is on the money. I think his "Sherlock" made it impossible but that would've been great.

ReplyDelete@Riven I wasn't sure. :)
ReplyDeleteHow about The Hulk? Actors who have played Bruce Banner (aka the Hulk):Bill Bixby, Lou Ferrigno, Eric Bana, Ed Norton and Mark Ruffalo. Lou Ferrigno: The body-builder and actor is best-known for “The Incredible Hulk” in the TV series that first aired in 1978 and ran until 1982, totaling 82 episodes.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford, I'm going Jack Ryan.
ReplyDeleteSean Connery was the best Bond, but this guy is younger, so I'm jumping on the Bale train.
ReplyDeleteI think Val Kilmer was the best Doc Holliday in Tombstone... Isnt Harrison still stuck up in Toronto filming w/ Blake L ?
