A far less serious topic than I usually address on this site (gotta write about something fun and inane once in a while) . . . .
Well, no-one actually called me blondophobe. But, last year, when I dissed the new James Bond movie, “Casino Royale,” and the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, I offended a blond male ICE agent. That made me feel bad, because really, I’m not a hair-ist, and blond men (the real kind, NOT the frosted kind like Ryan Seacrest) have never been excluded from my Hot List. I discussed it in detail and posted his e-mail.
Actually, I think there are plenty of very attractive blond men. But James Bond was meant to have dark hair. It says so in the Ian Fleming books–that Bond had Black hair.
However, last night, I screened “The Invasion,” a fantastic thriller out Friday (see my full review then; loved it). And Daniel Craig actually looked really good. Very attractive and sexy. It’s just that in the Bond movie, he looked haggard, tired, and, well, effeminate, in that biker shorts swimsuit you see at gay gyms in South Beach.
Not so in “The Invasion,” where Craig was suave and debonaire–the way he should have been–but wasn’t–as Bond. See, I’m not a blondophobe.
Still can’t forgive him, though, for his performance in Abu Spielberg’s propaganda piece, “Munich,” in which he uttered the absurd line, “The only blood I care about is Jewish blood.” Sorry, but that ain’t the Jewish ethos. Far better suited for Mohammedanism.
And there are other blonds I like, like this guy (hate his Clinton politics, though):
But this guy (non-blond, sorry) is my favorite golfer (whom I got to meet at the 2003 Masters, super nice guy):
