Hasn’t been a really good Bong since Connery though Moore and Brosnen were serviceable

its worth noting that most of the Bond movie stories were completely unknown to Flemming. I think Flemming’s influence on the franchise disappeared long ago.

I guess they want to kill the James Bond series. I know I wouldn’t spend the time to see a politically correct affirmative action James Bond.
To: Kartographer
The current guy is actually a pretty good Bond, although the movies themselves aren’t good. They don’t keep my attention and I have not finished any recent ones. He’s got the right level of suaveness and manliness.
Bronsen is a little too feminine...although I like him in general. Moore brought a different aspect to the role.

Already heading that way. M is a woman, and the new Moneypenny is black. I think Q might be a poof.

Ian Fleming Never Mentioned James Bonds Ethnicity. And why would he? When Fleming wrote this Britain was almost exclusively white! I guess common sense just doesn't exist anymore.

The only way they’d get me to watch
another Bond movie is if it starred
Fearless Fosdick.

This new Bond in a bar.
Bartender: What will you have?
Bond: Schlitz, on the rocks, not stirred.

So are they saying that Mrs. Bond made it with the milkman?

Next is a transexual 007: “Bond...Jane Bond.”
To: Altura Ct.
First, I will never watch a black James Bond movie. That being said, in You Only Live Twice, he had to pass as Japanese which would be impossible if he were black. Fleming imagined the character to resemble Hoagy Carmichael and himself. As neither is black then it’s idiotic to say that there are no indications of his ethnicity.

James Bond cannot be black. Political correctness be damned, we have to stay with what is literally correct. He was established by Ian Fleming as a white character, played by white actors. Its silly. Play 003 or 006 but you cannot be 007. A lot of people say we should be allowed to play everything. Dont be ridiculous. If I say I want to play JFK I should be laughed out the room. Why should James Bond be black? Its silly. --

Live and Let Die).
So does this mean they've dropped the "Gay Bond" idea?

Bullhockey.
I read all of the Bond novels as a youngster (before they became movies) and I recall specifically that Fleming described Commanmder Bond SO as a Scot.
Flemings own website linked here says he had a Scottish father and a Swiss mother. In fact, Sean Connery’s ethnicity was one of the factors that got him the role in the first place.

Joshua Sasse would probably make a decent 007. There's even a bit of a young Connery to his look.
