That's why speculation of who'll be the next one has been all over the tabloids. My understanding was that Brosnan has already decided he’s finished with Bond.

I thought it was a bit daft but who knows. With Brosnan practically pushing up the daisies these days, I think it's time for some how doesn't look like he's in danger of putting his back out rather than kicking ass. One thing that can be said about the current crop of heroes is that with the exception of The Rock, they're getting skinnier. Not sure who qualifies as a hero these days (and thus proves the point of the update in the first place), but stars like Wil Smith and Matt Damon aren't exactly in the same mould as Arnie or Stallone. I think I give thanks for this...

A Man Apart was a more realistic action movie but he wasn't bad in that, and Riddick was pretty damn cool.
