Do it!!! A spectacular way to waste millions of dollars. A flaming flop destined to be ignored in droves!

Quid pro quo: You can make Bond a tranny if you always infiltrate the WNBA with trannies.

At least then it'll be entertaining.

To the filmmakers:

James Bond is a MAN. A white British (okay...Sean Connery was Scottish) MAN. He’s not emo, not plagued by second thoughts over what he does. He has a License to Kill. He does it with aplomb, in a suave, professional manner. He has sex with WOMEN.

You can screw with all the other aspects of the franchise (M as a woman, various ages/genders for Q, etc.)...but NOT the main character.

It’s always been, and always should be “Bond...JAMES Bond”.

It’s played out because the premise, that somehow British Empire still had power and worldwide resources that could be called on to thwart a global threat, is no longer credible.

Trans make up about 1000th of 1% of world pop and yet they are shoved upon our society like they are 20% of the populace.

I don’t think that can be classified as an “idea”, more like an abstraction of an abstraction.

Commander Bond is a Royal Navy officer not a highest ranking Army girl.

I’ve lived long enough. This crap is untenable.

A reimagined Octopussy or Goldfinger perhaps?

Why not go all the way PC and make the next James Bond a Muslim that has a hankering for goats?

Hanna Graf:

Hanna Graf is both organisms on the RIGHT sides of the above photos.

It was a tall order, but Graf did succeed in finding someone just as screwed up as HE is.

Having a black James West wasn't the problem. Making it a campy movie was the problem.

I watch the show every Saturday night at 6:00 on MeTV. When Robert Conrad rides into town, you know three things: Women are going to swoon, he's going to produce a gadget from somewhere in that skin tight suit, and most reliable and enjoyable of all, he's going to take on four or five guys in a furniture and railing smashing brawl.

Sure, there's tongue-in-cheek humor, and those impossible gadgets, and outrageous villains like everyone's all-time favorite, Dr. Miguelito Loveless, brilliantly played by Michael Dunn, but never camp. That's why it's enjoyable to watch because you don't feel like it's an SNL skit. I'll take a slight detour, especially being Christmas, to further make the camp is bad point: Elf. Unlike his other movies that I don't care for, I really like Elf because Will Ferrell plays him straight up. I see a very tall guy who was raised by Santa's elves dealing with the outside world and it makes me laugh rather than seeing a very tall actor overdoing it and winking at the audience which is suppisedto funny, so laugh.

By the time the first Bond movie rolled out Britain was no longer able to thwart a global threat. Her Empire was in the process of dissolving.
