He gets double-O status back? I didn't want to click on the link because of the spoiler warning but I can cope with that :)
If that's true I'm glad, it'll shut up all the 'go woke go broke' weirdos on Facebook and Twitter who wanted to #DefundEON :D
It's easy for us to be courageous with other peoples' money. But EON and co. could literally lose the better part of a billion dollars by going to streaming.
Yes. I remember Emma Watson got a ton of flak for being a vocal feminist, and then at the same time posing for risque photo shoots and embracing her sexuality. You can be a strong woman who fights for equality, as well as embrace your sexuality, and I don't see how Seydoux here is any different. I applaud her for using her own agency for however she chooses.
Any "discontentedness" I might have is more-so directed towards the societal pressures put on women that generally say "the more sexually appealing you are / appear, the more value you have here in society". We've of course moved forward a great degree in society away from this, but it still exists in subtle ways of course.
They’re basically saying that because Nomi
A lot of the text is filler, but I’ve translated the relevant piece below, in the spoiler tag:
In No Time To Die, the DBS Superleggera is the MI6 vehicle issued to agent 003, Nomi. Nomi and Bond drive it to a NATO airfield in Norway and pull up alongside a C-17 cargo plane, where Q is already on board. The three take off to launch a mission againt the villian Safin. The DBS Superleggera (Superleggera, the Italian for ‘Superlight’ and named in honour of a Italian coachbuilding firm Carrozzaria Touring) was revealed in 2018 and is the marque’s V12 flagship grand tourer. Riviving the DBS nameplate, last seen in 2012, and harking back to the original DBS from 1967, this is ‘super’ GT that draws on the best from the automaker’s past while looking firmly forward.
We’re all quite surprised at James Bond Netherlands. A lot of us believed that Nomi might’ve carried the 007 number. It’s only just not true. What maybe might be possible, is that the agent begins as 007 and later gives the number back to Bond. Although this piece of text seems to exclude that.
Sorry if I spoiled anything but that was just my uneducated assessment, I'm really not sure what happens.
Yeah. Especially the director of NTTD, who said streaming is the future.
Oh no not at all, I mean that level of spoiler I can cope with- I was sort of thanking you for checking it! Sorry if I wasn't clear.
So either she does get reassigned upon Bond's return, or they changed this due to the backlash, or they're still hiding her actually being 007
It very likely will.
How strange: a photoshoot for a magazine and yet he hasn't got his bum out ;)
I thought that's what it says:
The ones you don't like you think don't even count as Bond girls? That seems odd. It's a bit someone denying that the Lotus Esprit is a Bond car because they don't like mid-engined cars.
My respect for him has just gone up!
Craig actually did a photoshoot a while back where he was shirtless.
I said from what I've seen Nomi is not presented as a Bond Girl. I said more like a Leiter character, or now I'd say even closer to a Saunders type competing with or outright harassing Bond. At least initially arguing with Bond and obstructing him.
So which approach applies prejudice.
I don't think she is trying to titilate anyone. It is up to you but I don't remember you losing respect for Daniel when he was shirtless in GQ
Damn, I take it back. ;)
Exactly. I see her as a test of trying to get a female version of the recurring 'friend' character like Felix or Valentin.
I guess it comes down to the label of "Bond Girl", what it means exactly, and why it's needed at all. It seems like characters like Camille and now Nomi are blurring the lines, which is a great thing.
I'll ask my question to you again: you said Camille is a "Bond Girl", yet Nomi is not; where are the differences here that grant Camille this "title", but not Nomi?
And another dance video with Lea, this time for Vogue Paris. Music: Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust".
I haven't seen NTTD, and as I said a couple times so far that's not how I see Nomi presented, simple as that.
If there's a notion to stop using the term Bond Girl and a romantic association with that, I'm ag'in it.
She's a main Bond woman; she gets top line billing just like every other one.
How many bit-part actresses who don't get lines and just sit around looking pretty have been called 'Bond girls' over the years? Do you look through this book and cross the pages off saying "not a Bond girl, not a Bond girl, Bond girl, not a Bond girl, ... "
:D
That's a pretty strange definition then. A Bond woman can be someone you think he might have potentially shagged, even though he most certainly didn't, but in Nomi's case that's unimaginable, even though we don't actually know if he does or not.
Is it not just easier to go with the more standard definition i.e. a relatively young and attractive actress in a Bond movie is a Bond girl/woman?
It's a fair point, but it's not every single shoot with him. And it's not like men face quite the same problems that women do in terms of being objectified: men and women aren't equal.
What? Against it?
Fair enough, if so, I certainly wouldn't say controlling language in this way does anybody any good, but my opinion on it is that it's an outdated way of labelling/looking at characters in these stories.
I also think to say that Camille "potentially" being a love interest to Bond makes her a Bond Girl, and Nomi is not a Bond Girl because there is absolutely no potential for her being a love interest for Bond (I guess) doesn't hold a lot of water.
I'm not saying Nomi should necessarily be a love interest for Bond purely because she's a woman, I'm saying that if we're going to use "Bond Girl" as a label, then labels have to have pretty clear cut definitions for what they mean to be useful, and this particular label doesn't seem to have one.
And then to say Seydoux and De Armas are, in fact, "Bond Girls", and Nomi is not a "Bond Girl", it just makes absolutely no sense.
I get the impression your definition for the label is "woman in a Bond film that I think is attractive", which is fine, but then the label is going to mean something different for every single person, and loses all of it's utility altogether.
tl;dr: "Bond Girl" is a stupid label to put on a character because it's totally subjective and arbitrary, apparently.
I'm definitely comfortable with the longtime Bond Girl phrase past, present, and future.
But it's that reason why women do more nudity than men because it is expected and it isn't every shoot with Lea she has been on around a dozen magazines this year and this is the only one but my point is it wouldn't matter if it was every one for her or daniel craig because it's nothing either should feel ashamed of if they feel comfortable doing it and not exploited, men are never criticized as much as women for it because no, men and women are not treated equally.
That's not a good thing though.
I don't think so; they're always getting posted here (maybe more the in thread about 007 women) and all of her shoots have seemed sexualised to me, this is something I've been feeling for a while every time one appears. This is the first one I've seen where she's not wearing anything at all, but all of the rest I've seen getting posted here have featured her in skimpies or wearing extremely tight clothes.
Yes, true, I just think it's a shame.
That's why I posted it. The trailer video also posted by me at the time. Filmed by Cary
