Absolutely correct.
If I use my white eraser, does that make her albino or just like a medium gray like from a B&W TV show from the 60's?
I couldn't help but think of NTTD as I watched these episodes unfold. It's a new craze in Hollywood circles at the moment. All flawed heroes no longer deserve happy endings.
I really hate this. :(
It could be better too. 70's cinema was superb. ;)
Here's a radical notion: consider the possibility that those in Hollywood circles aren't trying to upset you; rather, they are trying to create storylines that have some resonance to our times. If all the "flawed heroes" (which is to say, all heroes period) are meeting depressing, gloomy endings, then what does that say about the times we are living in? Sorry if you don't like these gloomy, depressing times -- who does? -- but maybe that's why the creators of fiction are telling these sorts of stories. They're just reflecting the times we live in.
PS: "Dexter" is a flawed hero? That's strange, I thought he was a serial killer. You have an interesting definition of the term "hero." Or maybe that's just why I don't watch Dexter, I'm not inclined towards sympathy for serial killers.
Unlike Dexter, Bond is sanctioned by the government. So it’s A-OK! ;)
A perfectly obvious difference; one that's only ignored when trying to start an argument.
Ah. This is a distinction that I was not aware of. I don't expect to start watching "Dexter" because of it; nonetheless, thanks for the information.
70s TV was great, or at least it was in the UK
tbh as far as I know you only need to have someone black in your families history to be deemed black (Mariah Carey i.e.), so you'd really need to brush her up properly.
For example. Nobody complained about Moneypenny dating a gentleman in GE. Nobody complained about seeing M wake up to a phone call with her husband on the other side of the bed in CR. Nobody complained about Moneypenny having a fella in her bed as she was looking up info for Bond in SP.
But all of sudden Q briefly mentions a male date? In the span of what's probably a second and a half? OH MY GOD THE FILMMAKERS HAVE GONE TO FAR!!!
Please.
Didn't you know? Straight white males are an endangered species nowadays. ;)
I guess going from 94% to 93% is a cause for alarm!
I could picture Roger Moore's Bond socializing, opening the champagne, but would Craig?
I know I am. I won't be around in 30 years. Whom can I blame for this...?
Remember the rumours that it was C in Moneypenny's bed and the real reason she gave him the death glare after Nine Eyes got the nod was because she saw it as a personal betrayal? There'd've been a few complaints if that'd been true!
Certainly better than the deck we get now...
I first heard that theory from YouTuber Joe Darlington. It's certainly feasible.
Another good idea for a theatre spin-off for Craig to do. Bond and Q spending an evening talking about their lives and careers possibly with Moneypenny and Q's date (that's Tanner, right?) dropping in and out.
The original theatre idea was a one-man play in three acts about Bond alone in his Jamaican villa coming to terms with his life over the span of five years.
Youm can blamme the grammmar Nazims who insisted youm use words like whom.
I'll have one of those...
Dexter only kills bad people, so in my book that makes him a flawed hero (no different to Bond in many respects). But then again, you haven't watched the series, so you shouldn't really comment on something you haven't watched.
And nothing `radical' about you said with the Hollywood circles. It is reflecting the times we live in, which is why I think some light hearted relief wouldn't go amiss in these gloomy times we are now in. Isn't that what we go to the cinema for?
I'm telling you why I don't plan on watching it; not commenting on the content of the show itself. Certainly you understand the difference.
And again, Bond's "License to Kill" is issued by Her Majesty's government; Dexter's decision to kill is entirely his own. Repeating myself: "certainly you understand the difference."
Repeating myself again:
