Not trying to be smart, just know the definition of words.
Trying to be smart, per usual. You clearly don't understand the meaning of relativity. Good lad.
Anyways, this is the "who should be Bond" thread, so the sooner you get us back on track with some photos of Aidan Turner, the better off we'll all be.
Although olives and a twist is a little strange of a request.
The one that got away.
That's a strange thing to say considering that Bond films have always been looking 'forth' much more than they have been looking 'back.' I don't think 'contemporary' is wrong for the story and setting, but the style can be 'timeless', that's for sure.
'Woke' is a word I wish people didn't bring to discussions like these. It's become such an elusive term, covering a different meaning for most, and being mostly used in a pejorative way. Whatever its meaning, I doubt that it is relevant to Bond anyway.
I'm still gonna be stanning myself and waiting tables inbetween, like a true actor.
I don't disagree with your opinion of continuing to set Bond films during the periods in which they are filmed.
But vocal grown children and grow up. Really?
I feel his performance in Inglorious Basterds was a bit too much of a parody of a Bond character, however I will say I definitely saw some good qualities in him in X-Men First Class. Superficially he has a pretty classic Bond look, and in real life he has that continental European background and races cars so has a genuine sense of something Bondian about him anyway.
I don't think he could have played the same kind of Bond Craig did (which I think was broadly the right portrayal for the time) but same can be said for some of the other six actors in comparison to each other. Not the actor for the time, but in a parallel universe and a different direction of the films I can see it.
He'll star in The Killer, directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker who wrote Seven and did uncredited rewrites on films like Fight Club and The Game. It's going to be wild and I think it will be a vision of something the Bond franchise could never be, but the Bond character may be realistically.
Don't worry. Children are those who cannot take other people's opinions and must resort to such weak expressions.
Personal by... not even directing it at you? You were so far from my mind when typing that. It wasn't directed at anyone. If you felt like it spoke to you, that's on you.
This is how you get people to leave the forum. If I did something wrong, let me know. If not and you don't like my words, get over it? Again, that wasn't directed any _anyone_ in particular. It's just how I feel about the idea of going back in time. Goo goo ga ga.
Yet you take no issue with calling people with different views "vocal grown children" or telling them to "grow up"? All because they're interested in something you're not?
-deleted- taking a break see you all when there's news, but nostalgia is inherently immature
Liberalism is the idea that everyone in society should have the same rights regardless of race, gender, religion etc. Intersectionality or "woke"ism is the idea that we should selectively raise and lower people based on their positioning in some percieved system of oppression. When it comes to Bond, I wonder how much longer the series can "get with the times" before the whole thing becomes untenable with respect to modern views. I think Bond will always represent a kind of wish fulfillment fantasy inherent in any red-blooded male , but it's a question of whether that fantasy will still be acceptable to celebrate and romanticise in polite society. Is it becoming verboten for a popular series to present a white, cisgender, heterosexual male who gambles and womanises and battles against foreign enemies in defense of King and country? If will Smith slapping Chris rock taught us anything it's that people have lost the common understanding and respect for eachother that we once had. With the advent of socail media, we've lost the ability to NOT take offense, to NOT take it seriously, and just take an innocent joke for what it is. In that kind of environment the bond producers are forever going to be playing defense, forever making concessions, forever capitulating to the prevailing socail order. They've already started to try and "fix" bonds philandering ways by having him persue committed relationships with women, and in my opinion it has only subtracted from the appeal of the films. When we live in a society where we can no longer have the best of both worlds, where free expression has been so curtailed that even an escapist series like Bond is too transgressive for public consumption, then we're getting into some very dicey waters as a culture IMO.
Ahh, the irony. Fair enough then.
:D
Best post in a while on here. Have a grand weekend to you/ all
Cheers @JeremyBondon have a great one yourself :-bd
Sadly, I think Evans is going to go down as another missed opportunity for Bond. There's no doubt in my mind that he would be a perfect fit.
