: But Vin Deisel is so plastic! He's like a buff David Blaine! And he's got like a new action movie out soon called 'XXX' which is (in the directors mind) the next 007.
I believe that, to be fair, the director compared his character to an American version of James Bond, he wasn't comparing the film to, say, "Dr. No".
But, anyway, I saw the ad for "XXX" after the ad for "Attack of the Clones", and can say that I was far from alone in that theater in thinking the former looked far better than the latter.
