Jesus wept, how was that ever signed off by EON?

What was 'woke' about that? Was it that the character was female or that she was black?

Sean Connery in Live & Let Die - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZJo9XSTQtw

Some Deepfake stuff is really good (see Harrison Ford substituted into the Solo movie for an example), but that one is terrible.

... the double entendres and v dated now.

Cringeworthy

The "first things first" and "once a year" lines in particular are just nails down the blackboard awful.

Last ten minutes is basically a wet t-shirt fap off promo.

Having said that I loved it 22 years ago both Denise Richards and Sophie Marceau were proper fit and fuelled many a crank out for millions of bored teenagers I bet

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Sophie Marceau was gorgeous.

She was also in a film about the French resistance during WW2 but the name of it escapes me.

Tanya Roberts has passed away...again



Very sad and very odd situation with the communication brought upon us by COVID.

Sounds as if "You Only Live Twice" would have been a more apt Bond Film for her.

Very sad news though

Just watching Goldfinger.
I'm pretty sure the room Bond goes into at the start to plant the explosives is the same set that Prof Dent collected the Tarantula from in Dr No

the way society is going these days ,,, add a talentless actor Lashana Lynch in the mix as replacement 007 ...............nothing wrong with talented black actors , Idris Elba . Naomi Harris being two ........Its not necessary and goes against the 007 franchise , where as Naomi Harris oozes sex appeal and has performed brilliantly as money penny .
Lashana Lynch looks like some cross dressing macho super hero out of the marvel franchise

& its same with F1 ... the need to appease Lweis Hmilton and his black party matters ... lets get some black rapper commentator ,/ singer who couldn't string a coherent sentence together prior to the race ?? Why ??

and Two time served journalists replaced on good morning by a fat talentless ex reality star ...........i know because shes been on big brother stick her on the tv ,..........she's not Trevor mc fking Donald !!

So by all means add black / ethnic actors / journalists , Just make sure they are not being added because of their colour to appease a political movement or woke tv / film franchises

I suppose the irony is lost on you?

Moving on from the we dfon't wanna black cross dressing/ transgender skirt wearing Bond......................

Thunderball (The Underwater one and in my opinion the one where the series started to dip) is on ITV4 t 9pm
You Only Live Twice (The japanese one) is on ITV4 Tomorrow (Friday) at 8pm
Diamonds are Forever (The he's back then he's off again one) ITV4 Saturday 8.20pm

Then we rewind back to
Sunday 6.45pm -ITV4 and it's Dr No again
Monday 9pm - From Russia With Love
Tuesday 12th 9pm Goldfinger
Wednesday 13th 10pm Thunderball

I suspect that next Thursday and Friday there will be showings of You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever

Watched FRWL the other night - still enjoyable. Tatiana really was beautiful and Karim Bey was a great character.

[irocfan]

A curiosity here. All the debate/rage is about a black 007 - there's never any mention of a possibility of someone from the Indian subcontinent or Oriental person in the role. Why?

Yes I watched that too. I though Pedro Armendariz was superb as Karim Bay. Saddened to read that apparently he was in a lot of pain during the filming as he had terminal cancer at the time. He took his own life before the film was released in 1963. Smuggled a gun into the hospital and shot himself with it.

Hmm, time for a top 5 secondary character list? Not the villain, or M/Q/Moneypenny.

I'd go with
Karim Bey
General Gogol
Felix, Geoffrey Wright edition
Goldeneye pen clicking guy
Art Malik's Oxbridge Taliban

[singlecoil]

It's actually Kerim Bey. I agree with the sentiment, but not with the spelling

[aponting389]

When, how, where are we going to be able to watch the new film?

Saunders, head of section V? Unususlly, someone who doesnt like Bond.
Robbie Coltrane as Zukho... the Rusian
