Exactly, I want someone with some toughness and some suaveness, with a suggestion of hidden depths. What I always appreciated about Brosnan's Bond was that you could see him thinking and calculating, and you were aware of the conflict within him as to what was the best move for the mission.Kristatos wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 3:02 pm Well said, Irony-man. It's why I'm no longer that bothered about a POC playing Bond. Compared to what they've already done to the character, complaining about a change in skin tone seems like straining on a gnat while swallowing a camel.

Funnier because they relaunched bond as all the things they say are the reason they can’t cast young.Kristatos wrote:"He's probably been in the SAS or something" - I thought these were supposed to be the people who knew the character inside-out.dirtybenny wrote: The fact they see Bond as a former SAS operator also shows how much they lost the plot over the years, Bond is as spy not a commando waging a one man war, a problem that's plagued the series for decades.

Interesting. A few have suggested somghing similar, go back to after DAD and ignore Craig happened.ns_writings wrote:Might watch Dr No at some point today.

Here are my two cents. Not everyone will agree with me, I'm afraid, but believe me this express exactly my feeling for today - and the only thing they can do to have me buying a ticket for "Bond 26". Many of you can get past the character's death because it was Craig's Bond and now it'll be rebooted and whatever. But I just can't. I'd want to see that fixed, to have the certitude that my hero didn't die and it was only a moniker using a codename. Never been a fan of the "codename theory", but in this case I'd make a *huge* exception.

It's because all of us are "throwing shade" at him!Omega wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:01 pm Looking at the Amazon prime bond days teaser with “all the bonds”
Of course Craig is front and center, but I couldn’t figure out what bugged me about it other than Craig.
On the teaser half his face is shaded out , thankfully. But the rest of the bonds faces are either not shaded or very little. Just his face is shaded when it ought to be the rest of him as well.
Knowing Craig’s ego and Babs they probably think shaded faces enhances his gravitas, but it’s kind of a punk move.

That's how I feel, ignore the Craggster and move forward from where Broz left off.Omega wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:06 pmInteresting.

Absolutely spectacular take. Agree with everyone on Wilson's SAS take. He dressed as a Naval Officer in YOLT, TSWLM AND TND. What rubbish.
And I think OHMSS too, which would make Dalton and Craig the only Bonds not to have appeared in naval uniform.
That is how I always envisioned this to go DB. Let the avant-garde genius Broccoli pull a Bobby Ewing from Dallas concept, and have the opening sequence take place at the end of DAD, as if the past 17 years of Cr-egg never happened!dirtybenny wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:10 pmThat's how I feel, ignore the Craggster and move forward from where Broz left off.Omega wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:06 pmInteresting.

Well, I doubt she'll want to emulate one of the most ridiculed moments in TV history, but I do agree that Bond 26 should be the next film in the series that ran from Dr No to Die Another Day, with Craig as the Kelvin Timeline Bond.
