Connery passes away and so it would seem the series follows.

One sex change I hated was in the Battlestar Galactica reboot, at least until Katee Sackhoff and the writers won me over. It can be done but should it be done is the question.

i hate that at first, too. but they definitely made it work.
took a few episodes for me, though.
that reminds me. i might just binge watch that whole series again.

This isn't about entertainment. This isn't about making a great movie. This is about a small amount of Hollyweird giving the finger to a other aspects of society. Because they can. If enough people stay away maybe a message is sent. Probably not.

I guess I’ll give it a watch before I kill it but I don’t like the reason for the change.


This movement is reminiscent of a bowel movement

It's not just 'wood. It all the urban & suburban millennials who want everyone to be included in everything, all the time. Inclusion is the '60s peace movement transformed for 202X and beyond.

Unlike the love-fest of the '60s, I doubt this movement is going to vanish.

I’m glad Sean wasn’t alive to see this.

I'm glad he held his ground with Baba Wawa.

Until humanity learns that Mother Nature has made survival of the fittest a real thing.

Let's be honest, if most of humanoid society was any other species, it would have been eaten by a higher order predator long ago.

I've loved Daniel Craig as Bond. Casino Royale is one of my favorite movies. So no, I don't agree.

I absolutely agree. I think Bond went downhill in the 70's. But Craig brought it back to its original quality. Skyfall turned out to be my all time favorite Bond movie. All the subtle messages of returning to original glory. A new foundation had been built with him that could last for decades and bring in new generations of Bond fans, along with us older fans. What a huge mistake they're making.

I liked Dalton but he didn't stick, and I really like Pierce Brosnan in most everything he's done except his Bond films sucked (no fault of his).

(insert cultural victim here) need to make their own movies and quite appropriating and changing pre-existing characters.

It's a "tad more" than 15% brother... this shit has a lot of wind at her back and it's blowing stronger every day. The world is changing, with every new life that enters it, we are moving toward that destination.

It should be a good thing, actually. But, it's been (like everything else on this planet) bastardized to meet an agenda.

At its core, however, it is a good thing. We should give a flying fuck about everyone... What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love & Understanding?

I mean, FFS, we are not living in the 18th century any longer.


OH... and FWIW.... Craig was out-fucking-standing as Bond... toss up for me. I love Sean, but Dan rocked the role! Casino Royal and the follow ups were better than almost every other Bond film.

I absolutely agree. The downhill slide wasn't so much the acting, it was the stupid silly scripts. Puns and gags. It became cartoonish instead of spy thriller. When they kids of the original producers settled their differences and got back together, that's when they brought in Craig, and went back to the original feel of the movies. Now, how can they throw all of that away? So sad.

when craig came in, bond was no longer perfect. he failed at stuff, he got things wrong. that wasn't the "bond" i grew up with, who was always perfect.

he was imperfect, and that was good imo.

I liked her in Longmire.
