007 in his not so finest,  poor sound quality  cinema 1,  sub titled, better for Thais watching the long drawn out mess of pensioner special agent,   and for the Woke bretheren a new 007 emerges, those who wanted a black one eyed lesbian taking the mantle,you have got it,pity the funding agents for the next Bond film,a massive flop

Hard act

to follow

After reading the positive reviews, I thought it was a rather underwhelming film. The producers now have a chance to give the franchise a breath of fresh air and I think they will.

I thought the black female 007 was a joke being played by the film's makers, in response to all the rumour mongering about who the next JB will be. I fully expect it will be a "he", white and a red-blooded straight chap. 007 is not a vehicle for the woke age; plenty of other stuff out there to fit that agenda.

IMO we know the world we knew has been well and truly <deleted> when there is even a discussion about whether Bond should be anything but a white Scottish heterosexual man that engages in casual sex with many women.

I saw that wokeness has set in when Bond remains a one woman man the entire movie. Pity, as it was good while it lasted, though IMO Brosnan was as badly cast as Bond as he was in Mama Mia.  IMO worse than Lazenby, and that's a low bar to crawl under.

Anybody using the term "woke" is self-identifiying..

 

..as another annoyed old white guy..

 

What's next? Everyone who has looking forward to the new Bond flick has been bamboozled by MSM and is one of the "sheeple?"

re your comment about sound quality, was it related to the movie sound itself, or the sound system in the specific cinema1?

Well, I'm neither a white guy nor old, and I find the woke orthodoxy seeping out of America's universities and media to be loud, hysterical and irrational, enforced by ravenous puritans.

 

As a non-American, I look at that country, shake my head, and treat it like a completely bizarre planet.

Pretty much all of it!

Bond films were always rubbish, last one I paid to see was you only live twice in 1967, and the best thing about that was the song.

He could not act to save his life, severely limited to raising his eyebrows. Best thing he ever did was invent the Magnum. 

Pity the piggy bank didn't have enough to get the good seats in Central Festival.

Maybe you could start yet another GoFundMe page.

I am indeed an old white guy, though "woke" is a very real phenomenon, and is indeed annoying. Also, I'm sure that old black men use the term too, given it apparently originated amongst the black American community.

 

I use sheeple for a different demographic myself, but the new Bond flick is IMO no where near as great as the lovies would have it, and yes, the demise of Bond as the lover of many women in a 90 minute movie is disappointing.

I liked Moore as a person, but not as Bond. I just could not take him seriously as a spy legally permitted to kill at will. The movies during his time were indeed rubbish, and cheaply made with pathetic special effects, IMO.

There were the ones encourage to leave in the mid 1600's.

I have that book on my shelf and been meaning to read it for at least a year. Something I must get around to sooner than later.

When Brosnan took over the production values improved, but I didn't like Brosnan as Bond. I'm sure he's good in something, but the best part he ever had IMO was in The Long Good Friday.

Don't intend watching this and have not seen the last 2 JB movies, not in a cinema and not at home.

 

As a side note found out there is a new chucky tv series just started and after reading some reviews it seems wokeness has also infected him.

Just remember that most middle Americans are probably just as dumbstruck by the coast culture as yourself.

And yet ... Superman is bisexual now, and Robin is gay ... nothing is sacred with the woke mob.

He is good in The Foreigner, as a Republican Irish politician (vagueish link to LGF). Jackie Chan co-stars.
