The series was BMT but got talked into going.
Itll flop!
I caught it on cable at some point.
Do it!!! A spectacular way to waste millions of dollars. A flaming flop destined to be ignored in droves!
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”.
Its 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.
Bond is White, the end.
Not DOA but dead on announcement. Libs are stupid.
Just say no.
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.
Never Say Never The middle.
I dont think that can be classified as an idea, more like an abstraction of an abstraction.
Ive 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 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.
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.
And I should care what this mutt thinks about anything because...?
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.
