Whoever the successor is, I hope they go back to making him smooth and debonair.
I'm afraid they might slowly devolve into the "more brawn than brains" type, in which case you'll eventually end up with Vin Diesel.

As long as they do not go down the road of Roger Moore, comedy Bond type, I will be happy. Otherwise they may as well keep Johnny English.Quote:

I'm a fan of the Bond franchise, and thus don't get into all the Connery vs Moore vs Brosnan debates. They all did good, long stints as Bond and I enjoyed their movies.
At least all of them maintained the smooth, debonair image of Bond without having to chase dudes up and down construction cranes, getting poisoned by their enemies, or getting bamboozled by femme fatales to where they quit as 007's. ;D ;D
Interesting.....
A UK poll finds the following order to the Bonds:
1. Connery - 38%
2. Craig - 26.6%
3. Moore - 17.6%
4. Brosnan - 12.3%
5. Dalton - 2.9%
6. Lazenby - 2.6%

They're not gonna put that out. They make these fking faggots like Daniel Craig. These fking faggots like Pierce Brosnan. and make them look like big men and they make big man like Idris, hanging on the end of the phone, waiting for the call, looking like a faggot.
These fking faggots like Russell Crowe playing Gladiator. It's a joke

I’m not a massive fan of James Bond, so I couldn’t really give a fuck. But I want to see a Black James Bond and I think there will be one, I just don’t think it should be Idris.
I don’t reckon he’s a very good fit. But I tell you I’m absolutely certain who will be , it’s Adrian Lester from Hustle.
He would be absolutely perfect.
Adrian Lester is a choice but think he is as old as Idris and they may look for someone younger for the new Bond franchise.
I was all for idris Elba when Craig left but agree he's missed the boat now as is too old. He would've been perfect
You may as well have Andy Peters as Adrian Lester so no that's a bad choice.
Lenny Henry is in pretty good nick these days.
It ain't gonna happen. Idris will be about 50 by the time he get's it, and Adrian Lester is already 51. So he'll be 54, 55 if he were to get it, which will be way too old. You want a guy mid 30's for the role. But they will never ever have a black male James Bond. Ever. It's just not gonna happen. Ever. Or should I say for sure, not in my lifetime.Quote:

yes they would have a black James Bond if the actor was good enough and suited the role.
Of course most of us white people would refuse to watch it on principle but that's a different story

Just like John Shaft is meant to be black, James Bond is meant to be white.
I don't subscribe to any attempts to make famous fictional characters politically correct.
James Bond has been a white man every single time for the past 50 years.Quote:

And the worst thing about it is most of the movies listed above are not Fictional. James Bond is fictional. ‘The Mummy’ (1999) portrayed Imhotep – the world’s first multi-genius – as a villain. That’s like portraying Albert Einstein as a serial killer in a horror film. Only in Hollywood. Fifty years from now I wouldn’t be surprised if MLK is portrayed be a white American. Like a magician, Hollywood folks use their magic wands to turn historical people of color into modern-day White people.
Always interesting the amount of “confusion” and petty sidebar-ing when it comes to an argument that is presented in a pretty cut and dry manner. Hollywood white washes characters and has (almost) since its inception. Pretty easy concept to follow and to prove….but because of white fragility blk ppl have to try to make the white folks feel comfortable about confronting this issue which is presently still happening at a fairly regular clip.
Garry Coleman was Abraham Lincoln when Arnold played him at the school play in the 1982 episode of Different Strokes called Kathy.
Did you kick off then? Did you?
Hello?
I'd like for you not to ruin yet another harmless thread, but I must say I hated David Carradine in the Kung Fu lead role.
That said, Hollywood has done quite a lot to perpetuate racial stereotypes and has generally not done anyone any favors by not combating ignorant racial beliefs among people (of all races).

"China, coronavirus etc" (White supremacist biological warfare I suspect)
"Scientists Again Warn About Global Insect Decline — But Will We Act?" (And this was done by who ?)
"Tommy Robinson ARRESTED for ‘Assaulting’ Man Who Allegedly Molested His Daughter" (Hardcore White supremacist)
"Impeachment" (Trump played the racist ticket to get in)
"Why does the Western media ignore what is happening to the Palestinians?" (Western means white)
That his my posts are such an affront to you speaks VOLUMES about the racism you have, where even a single small instance of contrary opinions are a threat to you. And causes you to erupt like a hilarious volcano.
Typical middle ground @TitoFan doesn't like to take a stance on anything. In the first comment you basically say "Don't take about racism" and this comment you say "But racism exists"Quote:

Same good action, impossible stunts, familiar faces in the cast..... not to mention the ultra-cool Aston Martin.
Beyond that I can't say much else, as it may be considered a spoiler alert by those who take spoiler alerts very seriously (even with trailers). :D
All I'll say is that there appears to be a plot detail which now would appear amusingly ironic to those of us that have been reading the thread. Shhhh....
Oh.... that... and to say I'm glad they're done filming because Italy is now "closed." :-X
Although Craig's not my favorite Bond, I must admit he's grown on me, and I'm not looking forward to yet another change. (Then again I think this is what..... the third time he's said "this is my last Bond"?)
He'll be too old to play him again.
Next choice will be interesting.
I don't get this pc shit where people say he should be played by a black guy or even a woman.
I wouldn't have any objection - I wanted Idris Elba to do it - but the character was created as he was by Ian Fleming and he should remain that way in my book. As said above Shaft would never be played by a white guy and so he shouldn't.
I would have an objection if he became a she mind and played by a woman that would be fucking mental.
I have a friend who's a Jack Reacher fan - been reading the books since day one - and he was fuming when Cruise got to play him on screen as Reacher is meant to be 6 foot 6. And I get where he's coming from.

I grew up more of a Doc Savage guy. The whole Time to Die movie delay feels even more odd once he popped up hosting Saturday Night Live last weekend. They've pushed it off until a Thanksgiving Holiday premier? That is a very long time to simmer
