I suggest you don't watch NTTD.
Fleming wrote Bond marrying a japanese woman, having a child and leaving the service. Controversial...?
Its perfectly plausible that in the event of his retirement his number would have been assigned to someone else? Its not like football where you retire a shirt
Nomi being 007 reinforces the code name theory is nonsense, you wally. The codename element of the codename theory is that ‘James Bond’ is the codename.
LOL!
I do wonder about some peoples perceptions of women in general. The idea that a woman couldn't credibly kick a mans arse is somewhat ridiculous if they have skills.
Also if Nomi was played by Ana then I could see this being a credible argument but Lynch has a much more statuesque physique and I think could look much more convincing taking out some men during the film.
So why not?
You get kicked in the nuts, you aren't getting up too quickly.
Now what's that about women not being able to kick ass?
I agree. But ironically I don’t think anyone would have an issue if it was Ana. She’s the one who acrobatically nails a bloke in trailer, but Lynch is the one getting the grief. We know why.
It is very telling indeed.
Blofeld is not bold yet because there must something happen first what make him losing his hair and face (so there can do recasting).
It be cool if Blofeld lost all his hair at the end and what happened to his cat?
Well there’s only one person here using the phrase ‘case closed’ and it certainly isn’t me, so perhaps you should direct your concerns at them.
007 should never be anyone other than James Bond. Yes that includes another WHITE MALE as well. No, Thomas Smith cannot be 007! Mr. Smith can have another number and another franchise.
@boldfinger does have a point excluding that comeback any sort other opinion does get ridiculed but that's not for me to sort out that's the moderators jobs. Wasn't trying to throw the moderators under the bus though.
And yes I’m a happily married man who loves his wife dearly. We just live in a PC environment where voicing one’s views is a sin, hence all this knee-jerk backlash. Didn’t use to be this way. Oh well...
Absolutely. My senses were overloaded last Wednesday. Which is why I wasn't sure about the trailer on first viewing but I can't stop watching it now.
It's quickly becoming something I'm not interested in, with discussions I'm not interested in trying to understand so have a good one peeps :D I'll be back soon. Can't wait to see this film! :D :D :D
How many women have been President? Therefore, we should never have a female President? Ridiculous.
That makes a lot of sense and would be very Peter Thiel (Halcyon):

It does not matter what Nomi's 00 is. Even if she is at first a new "007" we know that it will quickly be reclaimed. There is no way EON is going to separate "James Bond" from "007." The 007 logo was right there, on the first marketing poster. It is 007.com that is the "home" of James Bond.
James Bond is 007. Always was, always has been, always will be.
@TripAces sounds like music to my ears
@echo what? Where did politics come in you can't apply one thing to everything. The president and Bond are too different things this is about marketing a film and direction of a franchise. Bond being so tied to 007 like aligning the Aston Martin to Bond because that's (the only number he's had and nobody else and no one else should like wonder woman's suit) and too a mostly male audience and as a male character vs the president is a job like m where you can have men and women. This about a franchise not a political office. Sure let's just boot Bond out and call it the Nomi franchise now because so we can all pat ourselves on the back to say see look at us we are championing women at the expense of men cheers comrades feel better now everyone can stop ridiculing us for being snobby white male grossness women are the future all men need to die. ;) if it's just a plot point and only for this film I'm good. I liked the trailer by the way. @TripAces says it best with the comments.
2. Which is quite strange because I absolutely love tough and strong women in other movies and fiction. Modesty Blaise is my favourite fictional character after James Bond.
But for some inexplicable reason, I don't particularly like having such women in Bond movies, so don't be too quick to label people as sexist or racist for not expressing huge enthusiasm for Nomi and Paloma.
Perhaps people should think about how they articulate things. A lot of and bluster about nothing as far as I can see.
I don’t think that’s inexplicable.
Anyway this has gone off the rails somewhat.
@peter - what I love most is how we’re thrown straight into the action. Didn’t expect that. It’s got real energy to it. Favourite bit is without doubt Safin’s lair. Can’t wait to see how that plays out.
This.
I have said it before and going to say it again we should wait for April, then all the criticism can be done in a fair manner. Reaching to the conclusion with just a trailer is not cool. As @00Agent said bond may have a comeback in that scene with Nomi which may make it more interesting.
