I used to really like James Bond films. The first ones I saw in the theater were those I was old enough to drive to the theater and see. Which meant Roger Moore was the star. So, I still think of him as James Bond. Of course, I also think of Sean Connery as James Bond, too. And, George Lazenby, too. That one he was in was a very good film. Oh, and Timothy Dalton grew on me after a bit. And, I really liked Pierce Brosnon, although some of his films weren’t very good. He was, just not the material.
One of my favorite Bond films is Goldfinger…
Now, it’s your turn. Not necessarily to talk about James Bond, because I don’t pick the topics for discussion. You do. Thursday Night Open Thread. You pick the topics.
What’s on your mind?
Coincidentally reported today:
Grantchester is starting to get creepy.
Sounds like Theresa wants the Bond franchise to go the way of all female Ghostbusters… Irrelevancy.
A woman can never be James Bond. They may be able to pull off a Bond like character but Bond is Bond and what makes him Bond resides exclusively in his being male. And James Bond. There have been numerous attempts to create a female “Super Secret Agent” character like Bond but none have been able to sustain the continuous appeal that would really qualify them as an equal to James Bond. Why the Left thinks they could or even should attempt this is well beyond my ken.
As a side note, would any male politician survive the media outrage sure to follow the use of the phrase “girl power”?
Hypocrites.
Maybe if he gave it the feminist spelling of “grrrl” power.
I heard the next Bond film will be named ‘From Russia With Collusion’.
Oh, I certainly hope so! I hate Bond films (must be that lack of a Y chromosome), but I would go see that one, because a sense of humor would obviously be at play.
Wait! Wait! A new James Bond, but a female version!? Yes, yes, I can picture it, it’s cutting edge! It’s modern, it’s today! But not just any female, a black female! No,no wait!! A gay black female! A gay black female who is quick with a glib remark when dialoging with her adversaries and never plays by the rules of “The Man!” A glib gay black female with a physical handicap (she’s deaf and has one leg shorter than the other) who is a devout Muslim! A gay black female with a handicap who is a devout Muslim and is a martial arts master who fights for Britain against all enemies, foreign and domestic! And even though her superiors treat her with distain and derision ( just because she is a woman) she remains loyal to Queen and country. Yes this has a lot of potential. It’ll be…Boffo! Socko! Stupendous! Tremendous! It’ll make a ton of money at the box office!! It’ll be bigger than Star Wars!!! Then again…maybe not, anyone know if Sean Connery is still available?
Wasn’t that the idea behind the classic Jinx movie(2003)? yeah, never actually got round to making it. Maybe the Catwoman series? Never happened either. Somehow, no matter how miserably a lib idea fails, someone will suggest it again. Sounds oddly like the classic definition of insanity.
I think this remade trailer is better than the movie.
way better than the movie
