James Bond gets #MeToo'd?

An insider for the outlet says that there’s “a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says 'Come in 007', and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman. It's a popcorn-dropping moment. Bond is still Bond but he's been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman.

“Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don't work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed. Well, certainly not at the beginning.'“


The inside source also explained that the phrase 'Bond girls' is now forbidden, and adds, “we were all told that from now on they are to be addressed as 'Bond women'.'

Hoo boy, the 'new generation' of Hollywood has successfully killed so many.. Star Trek, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, etc. Now is it time for James Bond? Guess his days were numbered for awhile given the new thrust of Political Correctness.

Anyway the whole plot of 'James Bond Retiring and being replaced' is sooo fucking stupid. They started the 'Oh I'm soo tired' shit last movie but it makes no sense given the reboot a few movies ago. Daniel Craig James Bond has literally been on what 3 Missions? How does this plot line work? You might have been able to do it with say Pierce Brosnan but this is just stupid.

Then the PC nature.. James Bond is a fantasy piece about a guy who screws everyone and murders people in funny ways. It's worked for over 50 years.. is it really time to mess with it? Do we want a James Bond that gets 'shown his place' ? Fuck me I didn't even like the last 2 movies all that much so if they go this route I think I'll just sit this one out as well.

If they keep killing off all the old series maybe they won't be able to just to re-makes forever and have to try something new.

More likely though we'll just get Transformers 12, made for the Chinese audience. Don't like it? Well there's nothing else so...

There's always going to be people who go see movies in the theaters no matter how stupid they get, young people who don't know any better, and it's pretty much the only "date" activity where you don't have to interact with the other person, make conversation, etc.

Hush...there was a bit of a boobie avatar kerfuffle several years ago. Lets not start that crap again.

Well, good enough for Doctor Who, good enough for 007. Sigh. Crap. Moan. Love to see strong women, just not like this. Waiting for Wonder Woman to turn this female mess around. Loved the first one.

I caught some of the old ST Voyagers yesterday.  F'n shame that shit isn't widescreen.  It reminded me though, that sometimes the female version of something you expect to be male is better.  7 of 9 is a really sweet looking Borg.  Janeway made a pretty good Starfleet Captain too.

To me though it's bewildering as there's so much money involved.

If this rumour is true i'm not going to see this movie. I've seen every James Bond in the theater since like A View to a Kill.. but they lost my money. I don't want to see James Bond cucked out for 2 hours.
