Even the dvd availability for purchase on Amazon is shrinking as they fully delete some and bully us by hogging them as rent the right to view it now or pay for the Amazon version streamed direct, not on dvd any more. Bad trend.

Especially now that Amazon wants to gobble up MGM, the current owner of the Bond franchise.

I watched all the Bond films. He never had to rape anyone, the women all threw themselves at him.

What WOULD be upsetting to women about Bond as an Alpha Male, is seeing someone who liked women, but didn’t NEED any particular woman. Bond seemed to always end the movie in the arms of some gorgeous girl, but by the next mission he had moved on. There was always another pretty girl to seduce.

Well, Cary, "that would depend on what the meaning of "is" is".

I don’t recall any of the Bond girls screaming rape.

Maybe the ones that ran into Jen Psaki.

Conservative women are also into plenty of rape fantasies.

They are talking about “Goldfinger” when Bond tossed Pussy Galore to the hay in that barn, pushed down to kiss her...When he kissed, she submitted...

They want to get rid of DVDs so that you will have to rent everything. But don’t worry about it. You will own nothing and be happy..... somehow. No has explained that yet.

Posting a skit from the script from Monty Python’s THE LIFE OF BRIAN, in which Stan suddenly wants to become a woman named Loretta and have babies, got me 30 days in FB jail.

“Wouldn’t fly today?”

Prior censorship?

Excuse me? Are you on the correct forum?

Don’t like to hear that stuff.
Someday no dvds, no trace of male oriented entertainment from TV or movies. Nothing showing Muslims or Chinese in a bad light.

And then Google will say “It seems your search has no results. Try fewer words.” For anything we like.

I wonder what she thinks of Xenia Onatopp who got off on crushing men to death with her thighs.

Picture of Jen Psaki in old Bond films....

Without her colonel’s uniform I didn’t recognize her in DC until now. Good job.

Rosa Kleb....
the main antagonist in the James Bond 1957 novel and 1963 film From Russia with Love, in which she is played by Lotte Lenya. She is a Soviet counter-intelligence operative, and a butch-looking lesbian.

Her name is a pun on the popular Soviet phrase for women’s rights, khleb i rozy (Cyrillic: хлеб и розы), which in turn was a direct Russian translation of the internationally used labor union slogan “bread and roses”.

If’n I remember rightly, those girls were basically throwing themselves onto him. The writer must be woke as well as queer.

Women on the left have rape fantasies. They are deranged.

I couldn’t believe all the homosexual jokes “grandma” was making in the nutty professor. It was rated PG13 and my kids were watching it the other day. I grabbed the remote was like noooooo!

Fukanaga is basically a racial epithet.

Being a Millennial woman, I grew up watching Connery as Bond (he’s my favorite!), and I find this annoying. Women swooned over him throughout the series, and I’m sick of wokesters ruining my childhood.

Enough, already.
