I fell in love with Pierce when I was in high school. I was sick one day from school when I happened upon a rerun of a mystery series called Remington Steele. Pierce played the suave, debonair, mysterious Remington who always solved the mystery by using classic movie plots to figure out the murder. What is not to like? A tall, dark and handsome man who likes old movies? I was hooked.
When he became James Bond, just a modern version of Remington, I had a huge poster of him in the back of my closet. I suppose that is as close as I have come to being giddy over a celebrity.
His movies are on the lousy side, I must admit. Although there are a few gems here and there. (Evelyn is notable as well as Laws of Attraction.)In his newest endeavor, Mamma Mia (a musical), he is one of the three love interests of Meryl Streep. I am not a fan of the plot, but I am a fan of the music. I love Pierce and I love ABBA. So I was eager to see the movie. Sadly, I report that according to the audience on opening night, the two do not belong together. People laughed and then groaned at Pierce's singing or straining. It was not the best singing I have heard, but all I can say is Lay Off!!! It won't be the worst singing I will have heard in my lifetime either.
I am still a Pierce Brosnan fan.

I saw it last Saturday! I loved it, but I also took it for what it's worth....cheesiness. Pierce has an awful voice but it was almost perfect that way. PS - I am a Dancing Queen
I love the photo of you and your man! How did you put the 'mama mia' playbill ('thingy') on your blog? I should have taken some lessons while you were here. It was great to see you. BTW - we think of you whenever we listen to ABBA.
