Maybe the ones that ran into Jen Psaki.

With "No Time to Die," Fukunaga tried to make the Bond franchise more progressive by changing the world around 007.
Much buzz has been made out of “Fleabag” Emmy winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge joining the James Bond tentpole “No Time to Die” to punch up the script. Skeptics have claimed the film’s producers wanted a “woke” James Bond but “No Time to Die” director told The Hollywood Reporter that’s not the case at all. Even before Waller-Bridge joined, Fukunaga was adamant about “changing the world around” Bond to bring the franchise into a more progressive place.
“Is it ‘Thunderball’ or ‘Goldfinger’ where, like, basically Sean Connery’s character rapes a woman?” Fukunaga said. “She’s like ‘No, no, no,’ and he’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes.’ That wouldn’t fly today.”
Fukunaga continued, “I think that’s the expectation, a female writing very strong female roles, but that’s something [producer] Barbara [Broccoli] wanted already. From my very first conversations with [Broccoli], that was a very strong drive. You can’t change Bond overnight into a different person. But you can definitely change the world around him and the way he has to function in that world. It’s a story about a white man as a spy in this world, but you have to be willing to lean in and do the work to make the female characters more than just contrivances.”
Lashana Lynch makes her Bond debut in “No Time to Die” as 00 agent Nomi, rumored to now be carrying the 007 moniker. The actress told THR that the film’s mission was to “give the female characters equity” and not just radically change who James Bond is from top to bototm.
Cary had big discussions with Barbara and Daniel [Craig] about how to give the female characters equity, how to keep them in charge of themselves, how to give them solo moments where the audience learns who they are,” Lynch said. “It was really important to empower the female characters as stand-alones. And I think that he kept that in mind throughout the whole shoot.
“I didn’t feel like Nomi, as a young Black woman, was constantly standing behind the white guy, which, for me, is job done,” Lynch added. “And that was a very conscious decision for Cary.”
“No Time to Die” will open in U.S. theaters October 8.
Even the dvd availability for purchase on Amazon is shrinking as they fully delete some and bully us by hogging them as rent the right to view it now or pay for the Amazon version streamed direct, not on dvd any more. Bad trend.
Especially now that Amazon wants to gobble up MGM, the current owner of the Bond franchise.
I watched all the Bond films. He never had to rape anyone, the women all threw themselves at him.
What WOULD be upsetting to women about Bond as an Alpha Male, is seeing someone who liked women, but didn’t NEED any particular woman. Bond seemed to always end the movie in the arms of some gorgeous girl, but by the next mission he had moved on. There was always another pretty girl to seduce.
Well, Cary, "that would depend on what the meaning of "is" is".
Maybe the ones that ran into Jen Psaki.
Conservative women are also into plenty of rape fantasies.
They are talking about “Goldfinger” when Bond tossed Pussy Galore to the hay in that barn, pushed down to kiss her...When he kissed, she submitted...
They want to get rid of DVDs so that you will have to rent everything. But don’t worry about it. You will own nothing and be happy..... somehow. No has explained that yet.
As we’ve heard over and over, get woke go broke. The Bond Franchise is finished.
Posting a skit from the script from Monty Python’s THE LIFE OF BRIAN, in which Stan suddenly wants to become a woman named Loretta and have babies, got me 30 days in FB jail.
“Wouldn’t fly today?”
Prior censorship?
Excuse me? Are you on the correct forum?
Don’t like to hear that stuff.
Someday no dvds, no trace of male oriented entertainment from TV or movies. Nothing showing Muslims or Chinese in a bad light.
And then Google will say “It seems your search has no results. Try fewer words.” For anything we like.
I wonder what she thinks of Xenia Onatopp who got off on crushing men to death with her thighs.
Picture of Jen Psaki in old Bond films....
Without her colonel’s uniform I didn’t recognize her in DC until now. Good job.
Rosa Kleb....
the main antagonist in the James Bond 1957 novel and 1963 film From Russia with Love, in which she is played by Lotte Lenya. She is a Soviet counter-intelligence operative, and a butch-looking lesbian.
Her name is a pun on the popular Soviet phrase for women’s rights, khleb i rozy (Cyrillic: хлеб и розы), which in turn was a direct Russian translation of the internationally used labor union slogan “bread and roses”.
If’n I remember rightly, those girls were basically throwing themselves onto him. The writer must be woke as well as queer.
Women on the left have rape fantasies. They are deranged.
I couldn’t believe all the homosexual jokes “grandma” was making in the nutty professor. It was rated PG13 and my kids were watching it the other day. I grabbed the remote was like noooooo!
The soy is strong in this one.
Fukanaga is basically a racial epithet.
Being a Millennial woman, I grew up watching Connery as Bond (he’s my favorite!), and I find this annoying. Women swooned over him throughout the series, and I’m sick of wokesters ruining my childhood.
Enough, already.
