James Bond is dead

Those first 2 posts are both labelled as post #81.

 

That's true. And in case of inter-sex, there are like 5 or 6 possible combinations of X & Y chromosomes, but the 3 or 4 that aren't XX or XY are genuinely uncommon. However uncommon, there are individuals who want to be recognized and reconsidered as "other" or "non-binary" or any other number of terms. In my state, there are even check boxes on official government forms to identify oneself as non conforming; I forget what term is used on the actual forms. But it can read on your driver's license here that your gender is not male or female.

I agree with you though. It is a 99% of the time sort of issue.

 

<3 It’s a good kind of spell to be under. Don’t get me wrong.

I recovered from that spell about a month after the break-up.

 

Remember awhile back I said that they should remake Billy Jack and have the character played by a black American this time? If they have Daniel Craig be Shaft, then damnit, I want to be Black Billy Jack!

 

David Chappell as Black Billy Jack.. my brain morphed this so quick I shot tea out my nose..

 

Perhaps sometime later they can bring back the 007 character as a revival!

James Bond Theme - Moby's Re-version

 

Yeah, I guess that it wouldn't have worked to have Roland played by a black man if they had actually done the story justice and had all of the characters.

It was just such a weird film. I do think that you would need at least one 3 hour film per book to even come close to doing it justice.

 

Wonder if MI6 is on this..

 

The real issue here (for certain folks) is that if they see a possibility to make this a 'SJW problem' they will make it one.
6-eyeds and others ramblings about Star wars' Rey being overly feminist is a great example. Get a fucking life guys...

I strongly disagree about the last sentence. For me James Bond got really butchered with the new style and actor Daniel Craig. But I had the same initial critical thoughts about the actor already: blonde and too diff character than the former ones (even though those were far from all the same either). But Sean Connery is always more (or the real) Bond to me than Craig. Damn, I'd rather had Robby Williams had a go at playing Bond :-D

 

Diamonds are forever.

 

Octopussy.. actually seen that in theater , when we actually had a theater that was cool..

 

Check out some Will Ferrell movies perhaps.

But jk: I think we can enjoy some other movies without such an agenda than such comedies as well. Just because we can project such an agenda on most movies if we wanna doesn't mean it is that thoroughly mixed in or if it is done mildly (like in one particular scene or joke) can't be enjoyed as pure entertainment anymore. Obviously your statement counts for movies like Black Panter and many others, but to say 'everything these days'... Nope.

 

His movies haven't been relevant for about a decade. How about you get a fucking life.

 

hey hey hey
come on now
none of us have lives here.

 

Bond can never die until the economy does. For Queen and Swiss bank account!

 

Are you saying Bond might Die Another Day?

 

I was just giving the first example i thought of. His movies have never been relevant in the first place. And that's also not why they're made. They're made to entertain, like many other movies still. Not primarily or partly spread or cater to a political agenda.

As stated, the nagging on Star wars Rey being feminist is the best example some of these criticizers are best left ignored. They make a topical issue out of everything.
I understand the sentiment on this change in Bond, but lets face it; the Bond movies have already changed in a way that set them apart from the classic formula since Craigs first Bond movie. It's also the little things like changing his classic beverage to the beer that sponsored ther movie; needed to finance the thing. Uhm, it was never needed before? His drink simply is vodka. Shaken not stirred. You can't take that shit out of it. It IS Bond

 

How is Rey a feminist anyway? It seems like people are equating being a strong woman in general with being a feminist. It's not like she printed a riot grrl zine or something.

A strong female lead is every bit as entertaining to me as a strong male lead. I really liked "Captain Marvel" for instance. More than I liked Spider-Man, at least. I also liked the female Ghostbusters.

To me, the men who complain about these movies really are just big fucking babies.

 

Women, gambling, and action have always been Bond's Achilles heal. His creditors are coming after him. Q blames him for the car being repossessed, but its one of his lovers that will kill him eventually. All of his women will finally learn the truth...

 

Well as I mentioned earlier, Star Wars was not one of those movies that I particularly cared to break down it's political agendas and subtle SJW messages but now on into Bond as well as a few other franchises in the meantime, aren't those that chose to pick that battle and note these things being proven correct?
