The Bond Fiasco Widens

Just when you thought that whole James Bond Casting Fiasco couldn't get any worse, it does. The new James Bond, Daniel Craig, has announced that he hates guns. Oh, and he doesn't like his martinis stirred. He likes them "straight up."

Daniel Craig will have a problem playing the new James Bond - because he hates guns. The actor will wield 007's famous Walther PPK in the movie Casino Royale. But he revealed in OK! magazine: "I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other. "That's a simple fact. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess. It was on a shoot and it scared me. Bullets have a nasty habit of finding their target and that's what's scary about them."

Nor does the 37-year-old share Bond's love of Martinis shaken and stirred. "I love a Martini straight up. I don't think anybody makes a Martini stirred any more," he said.

What in the world is he talking about? Bond likes his martinis, "shaken, not stirred" which is how they should be made. A shaken Martini is "straight up" -- the ice is strained out when the drink is poured. So, he couldn't tell a properly made Martini from a Boilermaker and he hates guns. This does not bode well at all.
