Looks like Rush sealed the deal for Idris. He's the next Bond James Bond.

And Moneypenny can be a transvestite Palestinian.

No.

I don’t know the story here, but I love Daniel Craig.

Will Smith would be bigger box-office.

>> He’s the next Bond James Bond.

The malt liquor companies are already scrambling for product placement!

And white blonde-haired women are queuing up to read for the part of “Bond Ho”.

I don’t think he be a good Bond, but he’s a decent fellow.

Maybe 008 or some such thing. But as James Bond, NO!

Do not care in the slightest. James Bond movies lost it when Sean Connery stopped starring. Those other clowns were a joke, and now they want a negro Bond?

Why not a Chinese or Eskimo Bond?

Ian Fleming said he imagined Bond as looking like Hoagy Carmichael, very average looking and not someone you would notice or remember. That would be perfect for spy craft.

I would want a documentary on our current ‘Resident to be played by a white woman.

I just don’t see Rush playing Bond. Have we ever heard his British accent? Would he try to work Liberty the horse into the script? Would he stick with Miss Moneypenny or would he want Bo Snerdly behind the desk? I agree Rush would do great in the car chase scenes, and in the golf scenes (would have to be written in), but I fear that when the babes started coming onto him he’d ask them questions about tyranny and constitutional republics and ruin the mood.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t pay to see Rush in this role, and I do think it’s time for a deaf Bond. But I fear the action would get stuck on the obligatory scene where they play with Bond’s weapons in the lab. Rush would never leave. And when he takes a babe to his bed, will he stop mid-grope to tell us what her Select Comfort number is??

The main reason I object to these unceasing attempts to have Blacks portray characters, including historical characters who would never in a million years be Black follows:

I don’t care if it is The King of Persia, a member of Robin Hood’s merry men, a Norse God, A Greek God or demigod, ancient Scots or Irish or Dutch, they are not doing it trying to be historically accurate. They are doing it to make us believe lies. Lies which fit their political and social ideas of how they wish it was.

Blacks are portrayed in the media at a rate far, far greater than would be by chance. You will virtually never see a group of two or more in which one or more depending on the number, are Black. If you see a group of say 3 friends, you can just about count on one being Black.

If characters include Dr.s, scientists, supervisors, police chiefs, heads of government agencies and so on. It is about a 50/50 chance they will be Black. There is probably a 70/30 chance they will be Black or Female, or both.

The entire world has gone insane over Blacks. Obama was elected because he was Black. The Arabic sounding name didn’t hurt either.

I am just fed up with PC, only now it is not just political correctness, it is PC powered by a nuclear reactor.

They are so behind the curve.

What we really need is a lesbian, Jamie Bond!

Stringer Bond. The new Bond movie will be set in the urban environment of Baltimore where “The Man” is trying to bring Stringer Bond and his co-secret agent Avon Barksdale down.

Well, it isn’t as PC as having James Bond being played as a Black, American indian, Muslim. . . Transsexual Female, but give them time, they’ll get there.

Idris Elba is an outstanding actor - I first saw his work on 'The Wire' as Baltimore drug kingpin Stringer Bell. So many people have praised 'The Wire' that it's become a cliche, but it really was that good, and Elba was one reason why. If he's going to be the latest James Bond, I'll be interested in seeing his take on Bond.

I suppose Ian Fleming would probably object if he were alive, but then I never liked Fleming or his novels and the Bond movies have never been too careful about respecting the books, anyway.
