While Ursula is obviously the star of that scene, I thought one of the other great aspects was the very subtle way Sean raised his left eyebrow. That says it all - you know immediately what’s going to happen.

No, I don’t care about him and his Z love. On this, he is right. ENOUGH Indians, we have too many 3rd Worlders. Make the he’s go back, and put at least a 6 year moritorium on ALL Immigration. Assimilation is not happening. “ Import the 3rd World, become the 3rd World.”Charlie Kirk.

I read the book and saw the movie back in the 60s and never even considered any of it racist. I thought the English actor who played Dr. No was kind of funny looking, but that was just a lousy make up job.

You turned on President Trump every time he even made a move against Russia
Russia is a 2nd World Nation. If they want to friendly twoards us, fine. Otherwise, I could care less about Russia or Ukraine.

They already rewrote parts of the books to be more woke.

That’s what I thought. I’ll just have to buy older editions.

I read some of the classic Bond novels and short stories about a year ago. Must confess that they were full of blatant racism and sexism that likely would shock and offend many young/contemporary readers. I’m fine with giving the readers a heads up, and expecting them to deal with it rationally (i.e., not emotionally).

Students need to learn that texts reflect the times when they were written, that culture evolves, and that some things they consider normal now will seem outrageous after 50+ years of social change. Censorship, bowlderizing, and cancelling leaves us “unburdened by what has been” but also ignorant (even if Kamala thinks that is great, it’s not).
