The next Bond villains aren’t going to be sociopathic billionaires, but well-meaning progressives whose naive worldview and oversensitivity to injustice has turned them into crazed terrorists.

Or just plain union organizers.

And so, any of my remaining interest in the 007 franchise is extinguished.

Is it just me that felt like the most recent ones were increasingly beige Hollywood blockbusters without much personality anyway?

This will certainly accelerate that tenfold

If you want to enjoy the franchise again from a new perspective, check out the Kill James Bond podcast, where they tear it to shreds. It's hilarious.

The curse of Harambe continues

How Dare You.

Harambe cursed no one, he was the Guardian Beast holding back the curse that America unleashed by building the country on Indian burial ground.

Perhaps that was naive him, to believe that the sins of the fathers do not pass to the sons, but he tried his best to do good.

I remember seeing so many comments awhile back about how there wasn't a chance in hell that EON would ever allow someone else to have creative control.

I want to know how much they're being paid for it, and how much the next highest offer has been, because it has to be a shitload of money.

Get ready for the Bond Cinematic Universe, only on Prime and in select theaters

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

So it's going to be bad. Nice to be warned, I guess. RIP

Travesty incoming

Good thing they killed off Bond then. At least we had some closure.

Link to some of the actual children's toys that kids could buy back in the 1960s.

If you scroll past the James Bond puppets you'll see that the Honey West doll came with her own handcuffs.
