I've watched this railer a few times know and cannot help feeling that rumours are correct, Bond retires as a white guy and gets replaced by a Black woman.
No problem with a black ''00." or even if that character is a woman, but having Bond as a woman always will rankle with me. Political correctness gone mad in my old mysogynistic eyes.
Dave Cullen (if you have not seen his You Tube progs i'd recommend them) , think it looks very 'Woke', and i have to agree.

What are your thoughts, or is it just me? Cheers Dave
the last few Bond films (the Craig Daniel ones) have been excellent... if they mess things up in future I might just keep watching those every now and then!

A good trailer but I do feel that the Bond films have rather been overtaken by the Bourne ones.
That ancient looking town is where I was on holiday 18 months ago, Matera (in southern Italy). It's a fabulous place but my driving there arguably caused far more disruption than Bond's: We purposefully booked a hotel away from the maze of cobbled streets in the old town, only to get lost en route and find ourselves slap bang in the middle of the crowds (and one way streets) in the historic centre. The locals went into meltdown when we stopped at a crossroads to desperately try to orientate ourselves.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

This is probably just me being old fashioned, but unless it's a wife at home, a secretary, a woman working in a shop, a woman working in a bar, a woman being attacked before a bloke steps in to rescue her, or some bird a bloke has met in a hotel bar who he's now humping in a hotel room, I would sooner not see women given roles in films. Certainly not important roles in serious productions where the viewer is expected to believe that women are capable of doing stuff like being spies or time-travelling. Especially as the Bond films and Doctor Who storylines have always been so rooted in social realism.
As a straight, white bloke and an aspiring actor, I'm not embarrassed to say I feel threatened by this development. You might ask why, with all the problems there are in the world, I'm worrying about whether or not a woman gets to play a fictional spy character in a film, but I just wonder where it will end? Same as women's football. It's just not natural.

Fulham fans are officially more woke than Woking.
Not me, mate. I am proudly fast a-fuc-king-sleep. Totally zonked-out. I'll resist women being given interesting roles on screen, until my dying breath. And women's football being shown on the BBC. I still haven't got over Juliet Bravo being a woman or Heidi being a girl. Both roles could easily have been filled by men. It just makes me angry.

Personally I don't care about Bond or Dr Who. This isn't about sexism, it's about change. We don't like change, we like to keep our traditions. How much anger, did we have, when we lost our hoops? Of course, we could complain and not called sexist
Personally what I'm looking for more of on LfW is threads in which angry middle aged men rail against the modern world, a proxy for encroaching decreptitude and death.
