FBF, No Escape has topped NM now at the USA box office with 26,237,002 so far. This should make you feel good about Pierce again.

Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan (No Escape) has told the Press Association that the next star to play Ian Fleming’s iconic spy will almost certainly be a white man. Asked about rumours that a black performer such as Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation) could take on the role, Brosnan said: “Anything is possible for sure, but I think he’ll be male and he’ll be white.”

Brosnan, who played Bond in four films from 1995 to 2002, added that he was open to the possibility of a black Bond in the future, but thought that the role should always be played by a man.

He said: “There’s wonderful black actors out there who could be James Bond, and there’s no reason why you cannot have a black James Bond.

“But a female James Bond, no, I think it has to be male. James Bond is a guy, he’s all male. His name is James, his name is James Bond.”

This is how far down the rabbit hole we've fallen?! We're asking whether or not Bond can be female?! I can see how there is room for debate in Bonds ethnicity, but male or female, are we really asking that question?! Good God!!!!!!

Correct DB Unreal

James Bond might as well as be a robot.

Why do you hate women, Benny?

The Spectre theme song has been released and it's is shocking. Most people seem to agree from what I have read. The song sounds like a Eurovision song contest entry sung by a monkey and that man from South Park doing his comedy ballad voice. 2/10

[Kristatos]

I didn't hate it, but it was a fairly bland power ballad. It just adds to the overall "will this do?" atmosphere of the film.

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

A tedious dirge - as predicted.

Yes Kris, you nailed it there! I am most definitely a misogynist, due to my belief that my male sexist chauvinist characters should in fact be male!

The song sounds like it's being sung by a constipated person in a pysch ward Youtube comments:

This morning I've heard the new Bond song by Sam Smith. Well, sometimes we're a little bit too fast with our judgements, but already now I dare to say: This is nothing ... After a few seconds I can not stand the falsetto voice of Smith, it hurts my ears. And I can't recognize a melody. If it is true, Smith wrote the song in some 20 minutes - you hear it ... I would like to say, after the Alicia Keys desaster for QOS, this is the second worst Bond song of the entire series. Pardon me ...

Yep I completely agree. Aft that intro I expected a Tom Jones level of power but instead got a whimpering unarticulating mess.

+100Singers agree too, it's horrible.

+100Singers I'm probably one of the few who actually liked the theme from QOS. But there's no question Cornell has so far produced the best new line of Bond songs. SkyFall was just an indulgeance of the industry's love for Adele and this one has carried that same notion to the next level with Sam Smith. They didn't consider fans of the franchise for a second.

I'm sorry, I respect Sam Smith, but this is nothing enviable. What happened to golden music from the likes of Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner? What happened to that explosive intro we have always wanted?

Writing's On The Wall will be the swan song to Cr-egg's career as Bond and is a perfectly fitting selection to get the stench out of the role -----------The Writing's on the Wall: Sam Smith's James Bond Spectre theme panned online: U.K. singer's theme for the next James Bond movie called 'bland,' likened to 'asthmatic goose'

MSN.com:That's right: Reactions so far have been pretty mixed to the Brit's new Spectre theme, Writing's on the Wall. While some have said that Smith "totally nailed it" and it's "absolutely amazing," the general consensus seems to be that people are "underwhelmed" and "disappointed."

Just heard a #WritingsOnTheWall. Don't want to hear it again. Sounds like 2 pissed girls shouting at each other at 4am in a club.

Just heard the new Bond song.......................oh dear, what the heck was that!

Who the hell at the film studios picks these songs?.............and why can't they see, what the general public can?

The tune of the song isn't too bad..........its a shame, when Sam Smith starts singing though.......he's far too high pitched!

It's just a song by the numbers though................and i can't believe this is the best they could do, considering they had a very long time to find a decent song!

After, the truly awful song by Jack White for QOS..............i thought the film makers had come to their senses when they picked a more appropriate song for Skyfall, with Adele singing.

Oh dear.......new song isnt the worst Bond theme ever, but its definitely right at the bottom of the list.

The comments section on the BBC website says it all.

Just got to hope the film Spectre is a far better effort.

EA........not a happy teddy

You still like Cr-egg's films EA? Haven't you seen enough of porcupinous? Poll question now: ECHHHH-TRE: under/over $1 billion at the worldwide box office? I say UNDER

BJ................do me a favour...............go and have a word with the film makers for me, and put some sense into their heads!

[bjmdds]

I wish I could get an audience with the Duchess and Duke of EON EA Boy oh boy would I have a field day with them Broccoli would wind up asking me out on a date after the rant I would give her to correct her mistakes.
