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

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.

Those folks over there at MI 6 forum would have been good at book burnings. I tried to post there a few times and was always told this is "not appropriate thread" or crap like that. They think they're the keeper of the flame or something and can censor ppl. The Bond we knew is literally dead. I think that Babz killing Craig's Bond was fitting because she killed the series. It has a symmetry to it.

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 line, declaring him to be the best Bond EVA, and pretending they never liked Craig.

They might very well be besides themselves attempting to delude themselves into accepting ATJ as the new Bond. They might very well be in Cr-egg withdrawal as well!

Truer words were never said, just as Brosnan was tossed for Dan. Dan will be booted for whomever, "actor X is BESTUST BOND EVA!"

I wish it was as simple as that, there are too many people who think they are being activists for the poor Palestinian people going along with this stuff.
People behind this free Palestine boycott are professional agitators who are seeking attention flipping a story like this possible new bond being Jewish for attention and the fact we are hearing about it show how successfully they’ve done it and how many sympathetic fellow travelers are out there.

Call it part of cancel culture or whatever you’d like. Comedians can even be funny on campuses without some kind of violent reaction to it.

Honestly it’s alarming how many universities students seem to follow this trend seemingly unthinking and unconcerned it might be reenacting the darkest parts of the Middle Ages and early 20th century.

Whatever it is, will Broccoli capitulate to fears of a boycott, IF the ATJ stories are really true?

I don’t think I’ve set foot there since the early years of Craig’s run. I do remember initially enjoying a good spirited debate with a few members there who were at least welcoming of fans who liked Craig in the part. But I do remember the mood in that place souring over time. Not just about Craig, but just about anything going on in the world. It became more of a place to gripe about things and that atmosphere wasn’t really fun. It happened at another forum I used to frequent. But that was a long time ago, for all I know they’ve been popping champagne since Craig’s exit. At least I hope.

Having said that, they have put up with me being pro-Craig for many years on there whenever I showed my face, and they were always polite and friendly to me in exchanges, even though I was in the opposite camp to them with my viewpoint."

They're incredibly bitter people. I'd say they're particularly obsessed with hating Craig, comparing themselves to Mi6, and they have no love lost for @Benny . The brief glimpse I read yesterday, they seem like a tribe of angry haters, most feeding off the other. It was almost cultish."

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

Happy Easter!

Also the MI6 Forum should allow Craig critics as it is a general James Bond forum for everyone to have their opinion. That's why the owners should ban Benny from their website for misusing his moderating powers. :wink:
Bring back Bond!
