   Perhaps.  I can't seem to pull the trigger on a Bond movie with Craig in it. I   
   did like him in Cowoys and Aliens.  Thank the Lord it wasn't directed by   
   Ridley Scott!

   To all of us, there is a special Bond.  You hit the nail on the head when you   
   wrote, "I think a lot has to do with the way society is at the time."

   That paragraph may get me to change my mind, but just now it's focused on a   
   book actor Robert Wagner wrote named "I Lover Her in the Movies" and season 3   
   of "Bosch".  "Bosch" is sprinkled with F-bombs, but the acting and the scripts   
   keep a guy who was brought up the way I was interested.  Language like that   
   around the house was verboten and that's the way I raised my children.
