Amazon takes over Bond franchise

[J.Quondam]

Assuming someone is just going to keep on doing something until they drop dead just because you feel entitled is more presumptuous.

Entitled how? Last Bond I saw was Pierce Brosnan.
Don't call people idiots when you don't actually know their motives. Their situation is almost always more complex than simple stupidity.

It’s not me calling people idiots. I’m saying the opposite - knowing when to let go is wisdom. Idiocy would be keeping on until you keel over.

$20 says the new James Bond will be bald.

Well, one thing’s certain: the villains will be wildly different going forward. No more greedy old white men trying to take over the world and make endless mountains of cash as the villain.

Bond. The Documentary.

And all I'm saying is when someone hangs on to something painfully, it's almost never because because they're idiots; it's because of something else, something important to them if not to anyone else.

Assuming

You’re doing a lot of that. Do you know Barbara Broccoli? Because you seem to be handing down her innermost thoughts and feelings like they’re the 10 Commandments. Let’s not just make stuff up, eh?

Scottish and Irish have precedent too, so at least you have a choice!

Good point. I don't think Sean Connery has ever acted with an accent other than his own!

My Dad and brothers used to say that before we had the big summer blockbusters like Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, and stuff like that, we had Bond movies. They were the big action movies of their time.

A good point. Big action, big spectacles, big budgets, big stars.

But after that, it feels like the franchise gets pretty thin pretty quickly. Are people really crying out for Felix Leitner movies? And what would they offer that we can't get in other spy movies?

That was my question/point in the other bond thread.

Like always evil orcs.

Are you saying that this is not a Spanish accent?
