Time for black or homosexual 007, says Pierce Brosnan
2015-08-27
Why? Because they've made too much money from the franchise and now they want to be ever so trendy and "edgy?" Why not a Latino? Or a Sioux or an Esquimeau?

Why not a woman Bond? Then she can bed every halfway passable man she sees? That's what the male Bond does (in reverse).

Why not a geriatric Commander Bond? He's a WWII veteran in the books, isn't he? Sean Connery could show the youngsters like Brosnan how it's done, if he's not dead yet.
The boss doesn't look to keen on the idea.

#9  Too much homo-centric thought, why not a member of another phylum? Say an insect of some sort,

#7  Sequels and remakes - that's where the money is. Original thought - all bombs.

#6  Pierce Brosnan, huh? Isn't he due back in the studio for a Mama Mia sequel?

#5  That would be another movie that bombed.

I can see the title now, "Goldmember"

#4  Yes, that's what the public is clamoring for. After all they do make movies to entertain the masses and make money doing so.

Oh wait no. These are upper crust SJWs. They make movies to push their beliefs on the masses, and win awards, and act surprised when they are box office flops and lose lots of money (c.f. nearly any Iraq war movie made).

Why dont you ante up the money Mr Brosnan? And act as the first gay bond, for free, since you believe political and social things matter more than a good story with a well know character.

#1  ...This little bit of frippery appears about every couple of years now, coincidentally just before a new 007 movie is to come out. The reality of it is that no one at Eon Productions is ever going to think about such a thing because it would land with a record setting thud with audiences. 007 is a multi-billion dollar money machine and he's going to stay just the way he is.
