That's what Brozza thinks about our perception of the character, James Bond, nice guy.
'I think murder is a horrible thing and is a bad thing for society, so when i play Macbeth he doesn't kill the king.'
True.
And to this day, Brosnan still smokes cigars.
When they cast Daniel Craig, they could have picked a whole range of other actors who looked more like the previous Bonds. But they obviously thought that Dan could do a better job in the role than say, Clive Owen, so they cast an average height blonde man in spite of his appearance, because he was the best actor for the part. I don't see how someone having a darker skin tone is any different when they've already taken so many liberties with the character's appearance in the past, the last time they actively tried to cast someone who resembled the previous Bond was George Lazenby, and look how that turned out.

Yeah, smoking isn't that dangerous, just make having a coffee in the morning isn't that dangerous. If you drink 12 cups a day, it's probably a health hazard. Then again, I once heard that eating more than seven bananas a day is lethal, or if you eat nothing but rabbit for a month you die of malnourishment.
You have all manner of morons and creeps instigating trouble, turning minor and even normal/typical things into an international moral panic and don't get me started on those so called "shippers" who are so far removed from reality that's it's beyond terrifying to the point where actually considering mind control may actually be tge best thing for the human race.
Bond as he is is so watered down now. Criticisms of his character at his expense within the novies themselves (looking at you especially GE) is embarrassing and a huge slap to the face of Fleming and the hardwork the movie makers put in in the first place to get these movies up and running in the early days. Now, we have Craig appeasing certain groups by outright adversely calling Bond a misogynist and dressing up as a woman to promote women's rights, which in principle isn't a bad thing but it's not something James bloody Bond should be going anywhere near. Stripping down the character and peeling back the layers is one thing but all this dismantling of the man is shameful and ridiculous.
Designated smoking area? Bond breaks all the rules. B-)

Someone finally said it! =D>

(Oddly now I have the "Now that we're men song" from the first Spongue Bob movie in my head BUT ignoring that I agree.)
No more 'girlie' men as Arnie says.
The way I took the poster is let Bond be Bond ... don't try to appease everyone.
No where in that comment to I take to define what a man is. Just let Bond be Bond.
You can be bi and be all man. I didn't get the same jest that you did @jaws
And who, exactly, gets to determine what's "socially acceptable"? You?
Post of the Thread. You remove everything that makes Bond Bond, and what do you get? A typical, cardboard and banal Hollywood action hero.
That's why I like that scene so much. It's basically saying that Bond is still a sexist, womanising tosspot, but he has to exist in a world where women are in positions of authority and sometimes they won't tolerates his shit. Just because Bond is a politically incorrect character that doesn't mean it has to be celebrated.
Masculinity and femininity are anything BUT arbitrary. The coercive neutered "masculinity" of our age is a deranged aberration.
Yeah, sexual dimorphism, and all that. That's tends to "trigger" a lot of people nowadays. =))
I'm generally of the school of thought that people be should be able to be or do whatever they want with their life, regardless of your archaic perception of what men and women should be. I've always found masculinity to be quite a poisonous concept, but I fear that we're drifting off topic here.
Contradictions, contradictions everywhere.
