BOB'S BIRTHDAY BLOG

So it turns out that I have the smae birthday as Bruce Hollett, Eric Maxton, Enya Brennan, and Pierce Brosnan.
Where did it start with Pierce Brosnan...and where will it end?
They wouldn't let him play James Bond until the 007 franchise was pretty much dead in the water. I suppose "Goldeneye" wasn't bad...
Remember when his wife, Cassandra Harris, showed up in "For Your Eyes Only"?
I guess there was some kind of contractual obligation pertaining to "Remington Steele" he hadn't counted on.
Anyhow, sometime before or after 2002's "Die Another Day," they made him "Sir" Pierce Brosnan.
I don't know. I don't know if they offered him money to become a knight or what, but it's none of my business.
My fondest memory of Brosnan will always be the end of the early 1980s crime drama "The Long Good Friday." After gangster Bob Hoskins blows up a bunch of his enemies, he gets stuck in teh back of a car, and Pierce Brosnan is sitting there pointing a gun at him while the movie ends.
Here's to the 1980 version of Pierce Brosnan!
