Don't sell the Brits short like that random thoughts Send a noteboard - 01/01/2015 07:09:50 PM

Of course the majority would see it for what was, a political stunt. There really is no other good reason to make him black. Now if they really want to make good none stereotypical casting of blacks the could make Dr Who black. That would be much more interesting.

As for as the horseshit about America versus the Brits when it comes to black role that break the stereo the US beats Brits running away. Starting with Lt Uhura way back in the 60s.

Meh. I would just view it as "something new." There have been a ton of Bonds. beetnemesis - 09/01/2015 09:19:50 PM 952 Views

The real question is why a tired franchise is squeezed for every last penny. Tom - 30/12/2014 07:04:29 PM 813 Views
Might as well ask why the sky is blue. nossy - 30/12/2014 09:05:37 PM 987 Views
It took science a while to explain why the sky is blue. Tom - 13/01/2015 05:31:51 PM 750 Views
And it's supposed to be stirred, not shaken. Every vodka drinker knows that. The piker. *NM* Tom - 13/01/2015 05:32:23 PM 431 Views
I think the first few took themselves seriously random thoughts - 30/12/2014 09:25:25 PM 730 Views
Really? Dr. No and Honey Ryder were serious? Tom - 13/01/2015 04:28:02 PM 754 Views
What can I say, I grew up with them and there really was much better in the 70s *NM* random thoughts - 14/01/2015 12:56:14 AM 380 Views
I completely disagree - but maybe I'm not a typical Bond fan, if a fan at all. Legolas - 30/12/2014 10:51:18 PM 969 Views
They're all imbecile. Skyfall just tries to pretend it isn't. Tom - 13/01/2015 04:29:56 PM 821 Views
Problem is, as I hear it, Austin Powers kind of ruined "spy comedy" for anyone else beetnemesis - 09/01/2015 09:22:53 PM 925 Views

I am very much against casting people to fill a roster or quota ironclad - 01/01/2015 11:32:39 PM 920 Views
Shrug. I have no problem with it- there have been plenty of men who played Bond. He's "British" beetnemesis - 09/01/2015 09:28:12 PM 971 Views
