I haven't watched a Bond film since Sean Connery left the franchise but I am all in to see Rami take on the villain role. He will be excellent as always as playing this kind of character is right in his wheelhouse.

[@pleasekys28]

Tbh after Connery I only liked Moore for a couple of them but afterwards it was mediocre. Though definitely Daniel Craig is the 2nd best Bond after Connery without any doubt. His performance in Quantum of solace and Skyfall is just mesmerizing tbh.

@Grace mackie Hi Grace,! I see you everywhere. Love to see another Rami fan supporting all his videos!

[@lehcaraz1]

@Grace mackie I have to admit, I didn't know about him at all until BoRhap. I had seen the Night at the Museum movies but didn't make the connection. I came out of BoRhap theatre and was awestruck. I graduated high school in 1976 when Queen was at its peak and I so admired Freddie Mercury. I went to the movie expecting to be disappointed by anyones attempt to capture his essence in any way. I was wrong. I started the movie trying to find fault in the lip sync, then tried to find fault in his movements and dialect but by the second half of the movie I was totally convinced this was Freddie and just went on to love the movie and respect his performance. I came home and started binge watching everything he has done that is available to see. Every performance he has ever given whether drama or comedy is perfect. He is a consumate actor. His comedic timing is so good in War at Home, Museum movies, and Larry Crowne, and then to see the heart wrenching drama of The Pacific, Buster, and Mr Robot you can't help but know you are seeing something special in this young man. Add to that his personality, charisma, and intelligence and you have a full package that is hard to find in Hollywood. His fellow actors are just as drawn to him as his fans. He is like flame to a moth.

[@lehcaraz1]

@Grace mackie I know. I spend far too much time rewatching everything Rami. I feel kind of bad because prior to Rami I was a huge Viggo fan from LOTR. It was so weird seeing them both up for Oscar and I have completely thrown Viggo under the bus for Rami! I felt kind of bad LOL!

I couldn't get enough of Remi as Freddy Mercury....the guy totally embodied him. "Rhapsody" brought back many memories, some tearful at the loss of such a prolific performer. I look forward seeing him with Daniel Craig in the latest James Bond flick. I think I'll bring my iPod so I can listen to Remi sing while watching him on the big screen...sort of a secret wink to the man who was a triple threat during the entire awards season....all well earned and well deserved.
