Ok il bite.
Fun fact: My favourite movie of all time is Aliens.Guess what? It has a strong female lead in Sigourney Weavers Ripley.My favourite superhero movie of the last few years has been Wonder Woman.
To dismiss those who criticize the #Metoo craziness as those who are against strong female charcters is ridiculous.Audiences want good movies with well written CHARACTERS.It doesnt matter whether they are male or female.What most people dont want are SJW obessed delusional idiots like Brie Larson and Tessa Thompson who think they are the first actresses who have played strong female role models in film who clearly have not watched any movies or tv shows over the last four decades or so.If they had they would know that there has always been strong women in the industry.
Keep your gender and identity politics out of our entertainment ladies!
Jessica Rothe who was in that cool little horror film Happy Death Day
Would make a good Bond girl I think....😍
I didn't expect you to "bite" and I wasn't asking you too.
I'm not dismissing anyone's opinion. It's your tone. Without knowing how they're going to execute this plot point, you seemed triggered by it, and that angry and bitter tone has leaked into some of your other recent posts.
I get you don't like the Craig era all that much; obviously you can't stomach him as Bond. That's fine.
In the end, if B25 isn't your cup of tea, (and it hasn't even finished shooting(!)), then perhaps you should skip this one? Enjoy all Bond films, books, comics and wait it out for B26 and a new actor?
On a side note, I agree that audiences want great stories with wonderful characters.
My question to you would be: how'd you know B25 won't be a good story with wonderful characters? Why do you assume with such vitriol that Nomi will be some political figure, instead of a strong female role model? Why'd you assume this?
What I see is a smart decision by the writers, and the producers, to open the door to more audience members. After all, the name of the game in the film industry is putting bums in seats.
You claim to like strong female characters, yet you assume Nomi will be what? A role catering to "the obsessed, delusional idiots out there like Brie Larson and Tessa Thompson"? You don't have much faith, do you? In the process? Of the history of EoN? That, or your anger has got the better of you.
I think Nomi will add to the humour and sexual tension of the film, but I could be wrong. I'll just wait and see. I'd advise you to do the same, but it seems you've made your decision before the film's even in the can.
It's like a charade the press go through with every new Bond film. Pussy Galore I think is probably still the toughest Bond girl. Who would tell Honor Blackman to her face that she was some weakling? Having said that, the "seduction scene" is a bit embarassing.
If anything, Bond's been ahead of the curve, especially in these early films. Apart from a few hiccups (a product of the time), the women were NOT mindless ditsy playthings, for the most part. Think of the first film, and even a minor part like the photographer/Annabel Chung-- she was fierce, animalistic and fearless!;
Tatiana is a very real character; an innocent, young woman caught up and used in the world of espionage... The list goes on and on...
In the early films, they didn't have to force the case of a woman being Bond's equal-- they just were: Pussy, Aki, even Kissy; Tracy was equally as reckless and dangerous as Bond, but it was organic to the story.
The slip ups in female characterization came when they forced the "this time she's Bond's equal" angle: Triple X, Goodhead, and to a lesser extent Melina; Pam; the screaming, hen-pecker Natalya (let's mother/smother Bond in this one); the (as mentioned yesterday), sexless Wai Lin (sure she could fight, but she and Bond were just so bloody vanilla it was hard to watch; they were going through the steps coz it hasta happen in a Bond film); Jinx... All of these women were just one dimensional cartoons of Bond's equal...
To me, the Craig era brought value back to the female roles (Madeleine, on paper, should have been as good as those that came before (except for Vesper-- she's the one that all fail to live up to); as @00Heaven stated earlier, I hope (I actually believe), that Maddy gets "fixed" in B25 (with Fukunaga and PWB on the case, I have no doubt the re-booted Madeleine will be vivacious in character, and someone we can all fall in love with).
Is it okay to voice our dislike of Natalya on here? I thought that was a straight blacklisting offence around these parts. It's very rare I come across anyone saying a bad thing about GE on here.
My "beef" with Triple X is the wooden execution, and, quite frankly, she showed no skills. They built her up as 007's counter-part, and, although looking good in that dress in the desert, she really was a bore (to me).
This was a classic case in telling, not showing. Compare her to Tracy. or Vesper. Or Camille. Or Pussy...
Or Christmas... (ugh)
Good call I thought Jessica was great in Happy Death Day
Thanks. I think she plays the resourceful type really well and would suit a Bond film. She also has that humorous side.
Wouldn't seeing the kill count kind of ruin the plot suprises in those films..?
Yes, that's true. But the first one was uploaded back in March 2018, and I don't remember anything other than the it being a horror movie twist on Groundhog Day. The 2nd Kill Count was only uploaded 3 weeks ago. But the chances are that by the time I get around to seeing them, I won't remember much, if anything at all, about the 2nd one either.
Looking at it that way, I should stop watching them. But James is such a big horror fan, and I like his style, I want to show my support with likes and views.
I love his youtube channel. But i usually watch the ones of films i've already seen.
I did watch his killcount for 'Leatherface' the other day but it's not a film i was going to watch in its entirety.
I've only seen that once once on DVD. The TCM series is such a mess. If i'm going to have a TCM marathon, then i'd rather just stick with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III.
I like Natalya,but yeah shes does scream and shout a lot.Shes the best looking Bond GIRL of the Brosnan era in my opinion though which makes up for the noise.
Always loved Mrs Ringo Starr in TSWLM. The woodeness is part of the charm IMO. Of course she's highly implausible but then so is Sir Rog's Bond. They make a perfect pairing as far as I'm concerned.
Bond Girl should be title case. Capital "G". If that makes sense.
(And I apologise to Jimmy for removing him, but he was in the way. Sorry Jimmy).
But you go, Commander.
Edit: Holy Christ yes, i need this to happen, and i've never even seen her before (or any of her crap films lol) 100% with you Pierce2Daniel.
That's one crazy evil sexy mama right there.
I could....
Live with the....er
