I knew I liked the movie for some reason.

A 25 year old Ursula Andress in a bikini?

As you continue to beat the racial themes in hopes of getting FReepers to comment in kind.

We know who you are, where you are from and what you're doing.

[Secret Agent Man]

You know you are dealing with orwellian history revisionists when you can’t read or watch prior things without cultural warning labels smacking you in the face.

Let me know when the profs at the University of Portsmouth start demanding trigger warnings on the Koran because of the potentially offensive stuff therein.

I won’t hold my breath.

So basically a 'Buy Me Now!' sticker...thanks English lit students!

Oh, and I'll have a large fries and a medium Coke with that cheeseburger, thanks again!

racism, misogyny and xenophobia.

The 3 most popular words in the dictionary of Democrat speech writers and politicians.

Never happen.

problematic means "having many spectacularly good qualities".

That's not what the perpetually offended professional victims think it means ...

[Vesuvian]

And Shang Chi’s father is Fu Manchu, but I’m sure Disney didn’t allow that. No wonder the film tanked.

IMHO, in the movies, the group that’s the most frequent target of bigotry are the Brits. Every movie plays on the stereotypes of two or three groups (i.e. Japanese, and/or Americans, and/or Russians, etc.). But the one group that’s always stereotyped are the Brits as being insufferably arrogant and snotty.

Ian Fleming knew first-hand whereof he wrote.

Ursula Andress ...

007 was hoping to see Ursula Undress.

I’ve always thought that if you have to point out that something is racist, etc., before anyone notices, then it probably isn’t racist, etc.

I read all the Ian Fleming novels back when I first discovered the Bond films. High literature isn’t how I would describe them. Fun spy thrillers set mostly in the 1950s post war era is what they are. Great for page turning in bed or on a couch with some munchies. In the later novels the books edged into the fantastic and bizarre which I would say Dr. No did. The movies eventually took that as well and went even further. I never thought they would be studied as literature at some point in the future.

Yowzah!

And just like that, there were no Ukraine posts any more.

Getting the freepers to go racist and xenophobic is a MUCH more productive troll.

Commies using magic words again. Not working anymore.
