So is that the perfect pic of you or what.. you see what happens when you move from Paradise in Arizona to Canada and have to hibernate for 8 months.. :lol:
You need a tan, dude.

Braveheart is a Yank film. That's why it's not historicallly accurate (the characters are wearing kilts for a start, and the "Scottish" kilt wasn't invented until the 18th Century by English mill owner Thomas Rawlinson).
My favorite Brit TV series is The Adventures Of Black Beauty 1972.

I love horses and ride as much as possible, equestrian and western.
You ever watch that Blackie??
Course he was. He was no different from any other monarch of the age.
Why? Do you think he wasn't?
I do like Sean Connery though. Good actor.
That fellow who bangs on about how "proud" a Scot he is and how he wants Scotland to become an independent nation whilst all the while he lives abroad in tax exile?
yeah that's the one . A fine actor loved him in "finding Forrester".
um,,,no. Not like me at all. I have dark hair.

British actor Damian Lewis has emerged as one of the frontrunners to take over the role of James Bond when Daniel Craig steps down.
The former Homeland star is now second favourite behind Idris Elba to lead the superspy franchise once Craig's contract finishes, after U.K. bookmakers took a flurry of bets on Lewis.
Bookmakers William Hill have slashed odds on Lewis from 25/1 to 3/1, Ladbrokes moved odds from 20/1 to 2/1 and two other betting companies also placed Lewis as near favourite.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes says, "The gamble on Lewis has developed out of nowhere and with such serious pace we've been forced to cut his odds all the way down into favouritism."
Other actors believed to be in the running include Tom Hardy, Man of Steel star Henry Cavill and Michael Fassbender.

James Bond Spectre trailer launches
22 July 2015
BBC News
Spectre is Daniel Craig's fourth outing as James Bond
The first full-length trailer for the 24th official James Bond film, Spectre, has been released online.
The two-and-a-half minute clip - which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as the superspy for a fourth time - gives a closer look at the film after a teaser was released in March.
Featuring car chases, exploding planes and shady crime organisations, it bares all the hallmarks of classic Bond.
Spectre will be released in UK cinemas on 26 October.
The new trailer begins with a first look at Ralph Fiennes in his new role as MI6 boss M, questioning Bond about a rogue mission to Mexico City.
Ralph Fiennes is seen in his new role as MI6 boss M, replacing Dame Judi Dench
Ben Whishaw reprises his role as gadget man Q
The spy is then seen in Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra - played by Monica Bellucci - the widow of an infamous criminal.
After a suggested quick tryst with Sciarra, Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the crime organisation known as SPECTRE.
Having previously only seen him as a shadowy character in the teaser clip, Christoph Waltz is also finally revealed as Bond villain Franz Oberhauser.
SPECTRE: Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion
Bond meets up with beautiful widow Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci) in Rome
Christoph Waltz is finally revealed at a shadowy secret meeting
Jesper Christensen also reappears as Mr White, who was last seen escaping at the end of 2008 film Quantum of Solace
The James Bond films are the highest-grossing film series of all time, followed by the Harry Potter and Marvel Cinematic Universe films
There is also a first glimpse of Sherlock star Andrew Scott, who stars as Max Denbigh, the new head of the Centre for National Security.
Fans on Twitter were quick to give their reaction to the new trailer and many noted it featured some of the theme to 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
"This looks absolutely stunning!" Ben Peyton wrote, while Rene Friedrich said it was "so much better than the teaser. Finally, how it should be: a blend of iconic, new, fast, quotable".
However, Dekan Apajee said: "As trailers go this is more of a spoiler."

Spectre: Coming 26 October 2015
In the aftermath of Raoul Silva's attack on MI6, a cryptic message sets in motion events that will see James Bond come face-to-face with the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE. While Gareth Mallory, the newly appointed M, continues fighting political pressures that threaten the future of MI6, Bond starts operating outside his purview as he follows a trail from Mexico to Austria and Morocco and is drawn into a confrontation with an enemy from his past; one who holds a dangerous secret that will force him to question the value of everything he has fought to protect.

Boy they sure run that Bond thing into the ground. How many James bond movies does the world need? I liked Sean Connery in the first one,,that was about it ,
You could say that about Star Wars and other film franchises.
James Bond is an incredibly successful and popular film franchise and you will see that when Sceptre is released and does incredibly well globally.
Roger Moore was the best Bond. Roger Moore himself, however, believes the current Bond - Daniel Craig - is the best Bond ever.
If i'm not mistaken, Daniel Craig is the sixth, not the seventh actor to play Bond in the official succession. They are Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
They must be counting David Niven, who played Bond in the 1967 spy comedy Casino Royale. If you include him, he's the second Bond (in films).
if people find it entertaining that's coolYou could say that about Star Wars and other film franchises.

New 'Spectre' trailer leaves us wondering: Where does 007 go from here?

A new trailer was released Wednesday for Spectre, the 24th film in the long and storied James Bond franchise. It’s got gunfights, car chases and aerial stunts. It’s got beautiful women (the one-two knockout punch of Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux), exotic locations and Bond gone rogue.
It looks really good. And it’s got me worried.
Maybe I’m just needlessly concerned about the future, but my problem with Spectre, which hits theatres Nov. 6, is this: Where the heck does Bond go from here? With the amazing Christoph Waltz as the villainous Franz “Or Maybe I’m Ernst Blofeld” Oberhauser, leading not only a classic-era shadowy organization but one that has been the self-proclaimed author of all Bond’s pain, the stakes have never been higher for 007. It sounds like the events of Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall have all led to this. So how will they create a greater personal and professional jeopardy for Bond in the next film?
One way to sidestep this would be to switch to a new Bond, something that effectively reboots the franchise each time it’s done. Idris Elba (Pacific Rim) has been touted as a possible Bond successor (and would become the first black 007), and Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) was in the running for the role before it ultimately went to Craig. With Cavill starring in next month’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E., a movie remake of the ’60s TV show created by Bond author Ian Fleming, he certainly seems willing to play a suave spy. Would he still be up for Bond if it came his way?
“That’s a question which I will only come to answer if it ever lands in my lap,” Cavill told me in a recent interview. “I can’t really answer it now because I can’t realistically think about it.”
And to be honest, it’s not likely to happen soon anyway. While it’s folly to judge a film by its trailer (unless that film happens to be Mad Max: Fury Road), it looks like Spectre could appeal to Bond fans of all stripes and levels of devotion.
Couple that with the return of Skyfall director Sam Mendes, and I’d be surprised if Spectre didn’t become the second Bond film to cross the billion-dollar mark at the box office. Craig is under contract for more movies, and when your prize racehorse is pulling in that kind of bank, you don’t put him out to pasture early.
I’m now more excited for Spectre than any Bond film before it – including Skyfall – but after this fourth movie with Daniel Craig as Bond, the novelty of his gruff, grim 007 will be wearing a tad thin. And Mendes was reluctant to make Spectre, so I very much doubt the producers will be able to lure him back a third time. Bond’s present is clear, but his future is cloudy. When you’re at the top of your game, there’s nowhere to go but down.
Then again, maybe Miss Moneypenny isn’t talking to Bond in the Spectre trailer so much as she’s speaking to us, the audience, when she says, “They say you’re finished. I think you’re just getting started.”

New 'Spectre' trailer leaves us wondering: Where does 007 go from here? | Movies
This is definitely looking like one of the best Bond films in years. When this does well at the box office, becoming one of the biggest, if not the biggest, films of the year it will probably create a new generation of young Bond fans who will want to ensure many more great, action-packed Bond movies in the coming years.
With rumours flying that current 007 Daniel Craig will hang up his tiny blue swim trunks following the November release of Specter (sic), British bookies are already taking bets on his replacement. Homeland’s Damien Lewis made recent headlines as the latest actor in contention to play the iconic spy, but he’s far from the only lad on the list. Here, a rundown of rumoured Bond replacements.

Homeland’s Damien Lewis made recent headlines as the latest actor in contention to play the iconic spy, but he’s far from the only lad on the list. Here, a rundown of rumoured Bond replacements.
Damien Lewis
Bond-worthy qualifications: As Homeland viewers are well aware, this guy can do appalling but appealing anti-hero in his sleep, which is in keeping with Bond’s post-millennial move away from “yeah, baby” campiness.
Possible deal breaker: The British press nearly busted a gut over the “blond Bond” announcement 10 years ago, which doesn’t bode so well for a ginger.
Idris Elba
Bond worthy qualifications: Smoldering sex appeal, thy name is Idris.
Possible deal breaker: Bigotry as embodied by former-007 Roger Moore’s comments that Elba is not “English English” enough for the part. (Elba was born in London. Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton are Scottish, Irish and Welsh respectively.)
Michael Fassbender
Bond worthy qualifications: Anyone wondering about this guy’s secret weapon must have missed his performance in Shame.
Possible deal breaker: Fassbender was Hollywood’s uncontested “it boy” a few years back, but his more recent career choices have done little to establish him as a leading man.
Orlando Bloom
Bond worthy qualifications: Preposterously handsome, plus he took a swing at Justin Bieber in an Ibiza nightclub last year, which sounds like something Bond would approve of.
Possible deal-breaker: If Fassbender is yesterday’s news, Bloom is Dance Mix ’95.
Jon Hamm
Bond-worthy qualifications: Having played Don Draper for seven seasons, knows his way around an onscreen martini, or 10.
Possible deal-breaker: Inappropriate side of the pond.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Bond-worthy qualifications: Wears the living heck out of a tux and if even half of his fervent female following buy a ticket, blockbuster status is guaranteed.
Possible deal-breaker: The whole sexy geek thing is a perfect fit for Sherlock, but feels a little off brand when it comes to Bond.
