Funnily enough my first thought went to 'Now You're A Man' By trey Parker and Matt Stone. Type that into YouTube if you want a laugh. It's from the movie Orgazmo.
Masculinity as a concept enforces an oppressive stereotype upon the entire population and dictates what is and isn't acceptable for either gender. I'd say that's pretty oppressive. If you want to eat steak and drink bear and get into fights, that's fine (I enjoy 2/3 of those things) just don't force it on anyone else.
Anyway if we could get back to Bond.
What planet are you from? That's the stereotype of masculinity. You say people should be what they want to be but masculinity is too much? What a hypocrite. If people want to be strong and muscular then they can. Masculinity doesn't enforce those "oppressive stereotypes" as you say. That's the common BS talk of an SJW keyboard warrior. You seem to be trying to force things on others that disagree with you. That's oppressive wouldn't you say?
Men are a certain way, women are a certain other way. No one is better than anyone else. SJWs struggle with sexual dimorphism at the best of times. :)
Men can be masculine if they want, but others shouldn't be bullied if they don't want to conform to it's trappings. The expectations of masculine culture can really screw people up, there's a reason male suicide rates are so high. Likewise, women should be able to be as successful and feminine as they want without others demeaning them for it. It's the attitude that mean should be masculine and women should be feminine that is poisonous, I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear about that. This forum is hardly the most masculine bunch, we're all sat on our arses talking about silly films all day. I doubt Arnie would be very proud.
I find it laughable that the term "social justice warrior" is somehow an insult. Surely providing social justice and greater opportunities is an admirable aim?
Perhaps I should say Cultural Marxist. Which is what you are trying to convey.
Oh that's funny. This whole thread now is making me hmmm "bag o weed" from Family Guy ...YouTube that one. Funny.
And even that song from Family Guy has a direct link to Fleming
After all it's a piss take of The Old Bamboo from Chity Chity Bang Bang ..... ,!
I have read Marx, but I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the Frankfurt school.
And how many Broadway plays has Cruise had the guts and technical skill to do. Craig is about to do his 3rd. It is what is important to him. Cruise is going for the money and the movie fame. Craig obviously doesn't give a damn. I wish he'd do more films, but it is not his priority. We don't have a clue what is driving him to not do 4 films a year like Cruise other than family issues and spending his time on stage work. He obviously has other priorities than Cruise.
That's Mary Poppins, old man.
Think again Old Man :D
I don't mean to be a racist white guy but no it's not it's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The music I believe was written by a guy named Sherman.
Quite so thanks .
You're quite right. Next week I'm going to be Vladimir Putin. I better snag that sable coat...
Yep. Reading your junk makes me want to jump off the Tallahatchee Bridge. But more seriously, if male suicide rates are high, I suspect it is because people like you bash men constantly, ridicule masculinity, and confuse them with your "gender" fluidity nonsense. Men are genetically men and women are genetically women. To the extent one attempts to deviate from the norms, they harm themselves.
Which only goes to show how well the agitprop works. Poor deluded fools are converted into Horkheimers in miniature and they don't even realize it. Somewhere Herbert Marcuse is beaming.
I'm not going to get into a political debate on a James Bond forum, much less with someone who believes that socialism is a dirty word. I just think it's desperately sad to see that some people still think they can dictate how others wish to identify themselves and live their lives happily.
Anyway I've disappointed myself by being dragged this far into the discussion, so I think I'll chime out until the conversation turns back to something Bond related.
My thoughts exactly! Got excited when I saw the numbers. Clicked on it & got let down.
And let's not forget that Craig's non-Bond leading film roles have been mainly flops.
We're talking about this stuff because there is no real news. And I don't think Elba is ever going to be Bond. But I do think that were he ten years younger he'd definitely make a decent stab at the role.
The role brings with it a gravitas that can elevate an actor to a higher level - as I'd argue it has with most of the Bond actors apart from Brosnan.

Sorry double post. Something not working with the site for me. This was a response to a Wizard of Ice comment way back but the quoted comment didn't appear.
Maybe harm done apparently.
