I’m not trying to split hairs but this would be like if they got a Black guy to play Peter Parker, instead of inventing a whole new Spider Man, Miles Morales, and having him exist while Peter Parker also exists. A whole new role created specifically for a PoC instead of thrusting the actor into a role with a ton of…

Yeah if you name your kid Daniel in a Daniel-oppressed world, that’s just throwing them to the lions!

Alan Moore wrote a character like that, “Jimmy Bond” in his “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” comic series. Not to be confused with the awful movie adaptation. But yeah, he has syphilis and cirrhosis and was a rapist and was also inept at his job. Basically like what would happen if a real life spy tried to be…

Idris Elba as a George Smiley character would rule. I mean, he’s waaaaay too handsome and fit to play George Smiley, but just sort of a Le Carre type who walks around asking questions for 3/4 of the movie. I’m down!

I agree with all you said, Kaluuya has my vote.

I feel the same way. If he did a one-off film now, I think he’d kill it, cause he’s still quite fit and suave. Though they’ll likely want someone for a franchise, to lock in for at least a decade like they did with Craig. And yeah, Never Say Never Again is one of my least favorite Bond films with that silliness being…

I agree about the Doctor, but I think their handling of The Master/Mistress was even more interesting. Because the Master was kind of a static character who was only interested in domination/increasing his power, which is a toxic and traditionally masculine trait. Whereas Michelle Gomez, in a very delightful way, was…

That definitely describes the Fleming books, only throw in racism, sexism, homophobia, nationalism, etc. The movies, particularly the Craig ones, have come a long way from the scenes in Goldfinger where Connery smacks a lady on the bum and says “move along now, man-talk” or literally sexes the lesbianism out of Pussy…

That description reminds me a bit of Theron’s performance in “Atomic Blonde” which I love. She got to be Bonde-esque but with none of the baggage and the plot was a bit different than some of the more standard Bond boilerplates. Kind of more Le Carre only with slick fight scenes and fewer bespectacled elderly British…

I’m for Daniel Kaluuya as the next Bond. Elba would have been a great choice, and if he were to just be Bond in one film I’m sure it would be fine because he’s still in great shape and looks like a suave badass, but he’s about 50 now and probably doesn’t want to dedicate the next fifteen years of his life to making…

I agree with Craig, for a while there I used to think an amiable compromise would be to have a female “00" agent introduced in a Bond film, much like they’re doing with Lashana Lynch’s character in this one, and then give her a spin-off if she was well-received by fans and critics.

Charlotte > Cincinnati, cause at least the one in NC is named after an actual queen and not just called that for... reasons that are vague at best.

I always thought he’d sound like Christopher Lee

I do!

My mom loves that song. And so do I.

Perhaps we should ask the experts, The Alan Parsons Project?

Following Hough’s statement, Usher plans to release a two part Confession admitting he is also unqualified for the show, that he thinks he’s said all the things he could say.

+1 Naval-Gazing. Up periscope!

I feel the same way

I don’t think my insurance covers that service.
