Given that I don't care either way, I'm looking at it objectively - the discussion of whether Bond can be black is already out there (fairly widespread), so you're also risking pissing off people who think that it's the actor's ability that matters, not necessarily his color. If people start to feel there is no good reason for him to stay strictly white, they may be equally annoyed.

Meh. I would just view it as "something new." There have been a ton of Bonds. - 09/01/2015 09:19:50 PM 906 Views

The real question is why a tired franchise is squeezed for every last penny. - 30/12/2014 07:04:29 PM 779 Views

Really? Dr. No and Honey Ryder were serious? - 13/01/2015 04:28:02 PM 732 Views
Problem is, as I hear it, Austin Powers kind of ruined "spy comedy" for anyone else - 09/01/2015 09:22:53 PM 888 Views
That's a really good point. - 13/01/2015 04:21:52 PM 913 Views
