Classic Bond Forum

I've already started seeing headlines, in some fairly major publications, referring to ATJ as the new Bond. Some people are going to look very foolish if they go with someone else.

But different grievance groups.

Very true, hell just look at these idiots blubbering on about his Jewish lineage! Can EON ignore them? Absolutely, look how they ignored the fan complains over his holiness pope Daniel. Will they ignore it? That's the question, unlike the fanbase, these people have an unprecedented amount of clout ...

Given that women are running the show now, with MGW a vacuous waste, possibly look for a female director, a female villainess, and possibly a film titled Property Of a Lady, to complete the feminization of the lead character under Broccoli's reign, yet still use Fleming's title as proof she is true...

There probably will be some people on the Internet whining that she should have cast a POC and/or woman. But EON can and should ignore them. Those people are a tiny minority who don't even necessarily buy movie tickets.

I might go and see this. I enjoyed Godzilla v Kong. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk I have the 1960s version recorded. I remember seeing it on TV as a kid. Haven't watched it in a long time, though. I suspect it's probably one of those films that's best left in the memory. Sent from my SM-G986...

And about a dozen Marvel movies.

I actually think that makes it less likely that his wife would direct, for the same reason that many employers try not to have couples working too closely together. You don't want employees bringing their domestic disputes into the workplace.

I had forgotten about this thread. I recently saw an old movie, The Trollenberg Terror, on Talking Pictures, and was struck by how much its star, Forrest Tucker, looked like Craig in some shots. Tucker is best known for the TV series F Troop, which I've never seen (I'm not sure if it was ever shown ...

What DB said.

Interesting. She could have shot down the rumours once and for all, but chose not to.

I gotta say, he's not entirely wrong. I'm getting slight "stalker ex" vibes from these posts.

But when I last looked over there, they were as bent out of shape over the ATJ rumours as we were over Craig's casting. I'd say that it feels like sweet revenge for them to have to suffer years of a Bond they hate, but of course we all know that if he is announced, they will immediately fall into li...

An interesting deep dive into Goldfinger's story structure here: https://dejareviewer.com/2024/03/26/gol ... ames-bond/

I had never heard the word chiasmus before, but it appears to refer to the "ring" structure used by epic poems like Beowulf.

It's all based on bookies' odds anyway, which have absolutely no bearing on the actual casting process.

It's probably like three skinheads on Twitter living in a trailer park somewhere.

George Lazenby backs ATJ for Bond:

Starting to wonder whether this "antisemitic backlash" isn't a manufactured controversy designed to evoke sympathy.

I prefer Turner as well, but I don't think he wants the job.

In regards to ATJ and his religion, Broccoli may be determined to not offend the anti-Israeli folk, especially after the speech someone gave at the Oscars about it, so she very well might rethink her thoughts. But ATJ is British, not Israeli. Saying that being Jewish makes him responsible for the a...
