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

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.

I dunno mate, I can wear a suit, wave a gun and shout, "I FOUGHT FOR THE KINGGGGG!" as well as anyone out there. Failing that I can give it the old Tom Hardy North London Jewish bloke/Fiddler on the Roof bit. My New York accent is absolute pony, though, so I wouldn't put myself forward for the American parts. I just need a break. This is what I find so frustrating - there just aren't any roles out there for a white British male; and that's been the problem for as long as I can remember.
They've already got Wonder Woman, Super Gran and Heidi; do they really need James Bond and Dr Who as well?

Mate, as you know, I once starred/appeared in Minder. If there is anything I can do, you know where I am.
Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

True story: in the early 90's I used to play five-a-side football with Dennis Waterman, Derek Jarman, Derek Jameson and the bloke who played Reg Hollis on the Bill (I never learnt his name; we all just called him Reg). One week we were sat in the pub after the game, Minder came-up in conversation and Derek Jameson asked Waterman which episode was his favourite. Without any hesitation whatsoever, quick as a flash, Waterman goes, "The one with Mick S in it. No question. Everything else was sh it in comparison". Then he downs his pint, stands-up, puts his jacket on and walks out of the pub without saying another word. He's a big, big fan, mate.

Ah thanks mate, but I already knew that. I bet that Derek Jameson was a hell of a player.

His acceleration had gone by then, but he was two-footed, had a shot like a rocket and a good engine on him. I would love to have seen him in his pomp.

Yes its a fair song but it doesnt feel 'Bond'ish' if you know what i mean? David Arnold does his usual good work but its more muted but it feels more a 'end if movie song rather than a start. Plus i had hoped they might have gone a bit 'bombastic' with this one, after the dirges of the last few films.

It's the fact that if I choose not to see the film then I will be called ' a racist, misogynistic, white privileged male and lots of other -ists and -isms. Usually by some millionaire actor or millionaire director.

Increasingly theatre and cinema is about the plot, drama and the dialogue rather than depiction of reality. Latest David Copperfield film is a good example. I'm mostly ok with that, but a theatre production of Prince and the Pauper that we saw at Christmas stretched things a bit when the audience had to accept that the white boy prince was the spitting image of the pauper, who was unmistakenly a young black girl.

But is that an actual "fact"? It might happen, but I suspect no-one will actually give a sh it, and you not going to see it at the cinema will actually go unremarked upon, other than by yourself.
Good to see people approaching it with an open mind.

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.

Killing Eve 2 leading Women actors. Jodie Comer Sandra Oh Could easily have been 2 leading Men.
Uma Thurman-Kill Bill
More Sigourney Weaver Alian films
Pam Grier- Jackie Brown
Suranne Jones-Doctor Foster
Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis- Thelma & Louise
None as weak / damsel in distress.
Just don't see the need for Bond to be Female other than some PC nonsense.

I'm not a fan to be fair.

anyway...comments?
It's bearable I suppose. However, nothing, I mean not even a red hot poker up the jacksy, is worse than the Madonna 'song' from 'Die Another Day'. How this was commissioned is beyond belief? A second rate karaoke singer.
