Lashana Lynch to play 007 in the next Bond film: https://m.eonline.com/news/1056708/lashana-lynch-makes-history-with-007-role-for-bond-25 I am not sure how to feel about this. It sounds like it could be an interesting concept with the James Bond character still being involved, just not as 007. I actually hate every Bond film that has followed Tomorrow Never Dies, so I'm all for trying something new.
I am not against female actresses, but Bond has always been male. If they wanted to do something with a female lead, why not try something original there are other double 0's.
The character is Ian Fleming’s James Bond. The franchise is built around that character: a steely, revenge-bent, womanizing, card-counting, globetrotting spy. The series was never intended to be anything but about James Bond. Also, after five and a half decades of success all of the sudden the ingredients need to be shaken up? For what purpose, exactly? It’s a super-successful series with a huge fan base that was just fine with it kept in tune with Fleming’s series. To me it’s a dumb progressive stunt that cheapens the franchise. Fuck it, this is worse than Moonraker.
Or as I referred to it ( to the delight of our then younger teenaged sons ) a "steaming pile of shit". The reboot thing has got to stop. It's done well so rarely and there's plenty of good stories waiting to be told.
Shoehorning in SJW themes without respect for decent writing has produced some terrible dreck in the past 5 years. On top of ignoring the storytelling to virtue signal they also are just using this as a marketing buzz technique, Hollywood, like Gillette, don't give a fuck in real terms about sexism or racism or what ever ism. It's purely a number strategy to gain more eyeballs/clicks to their product. Plus they can use it as a a convenient scapegoat when the movie under preforms. It's just anonymous internet trolls that torpedoed the ratings and box office figures!
...when in fact it’s all of us pricks who have the nerve to demand quality content for our money. I have no issue with paying to go see a movie, but shit is shit. I’m not going to watch shitty movies even if they’re free.
The most retarded thing I saw recently is the director of the new Terminator said online troll misogynist can’t handle movies with strong female leads. A stunning lack of awareness.
Because the creator of The Terminator never knew how to make a movie with a strong female lead that appealed to a large audience. Game over, man. Game over.
She’s going to be playing an agent with the 007 call sign, not James Bond. Craig’s Bond is still the lead. I have no problem with this.
Man... it's almost as if nobody read the fucking article... So, I also don't see what the big deal is about this.
