I cant find the article but I was reading somewhere that this movie is going to stop making the bond girls how they've always been portrayed where bond is saving them and they are all attracted to him and whatnot. IMO, that's just bullshit. idc what your political agenda is, if a chick is attracted to a suave guy, why does that have to have sexist connotations? | ||

It just so happens that Daniel Craig is attractive enough to make it okay. :crazy: On December 12 2014 01:44 teddyoojo wrote: christoph waltz is one of the best actors there is tho Yeah but they won't write him well enough to make it worthwhile, just like javier bardem. Skyfall was basically a weaker version of the dark knight and a lame coming of age story. | ||

You can pretty much make an argument for absolutely any film/book/whatever form of media being sexist if you want to. That being said...dunno...maybe they'll do something interesting with it. | ||

I don't know, in Quantum of Solace bond helped the girl get revenge and become more awesome. The damsel in distress that is also super attracted to Bond has sort of been done to death and is boring at this point. The only real question is "what act will Bond bone this girl". Bring me more ladies like Vesper or Camille and I will be fine. | ||

I mean, watch the damn movie and tell me that anyone who is in their right mind would be like... "well, I cant help but feel like girls falling all over bond is anything short of sexist. it's ruining my immersion" | ||

Keep James Bond a womanizing ass hole, but make a few women who are not totally into that and it would be a nice change of pace. | ||

I don't even think it's THAT sexist. i mean..like there's never been a woman in the history of women that have seen an attractive, dangerous dude and said "I want to have sex with that man." I'm sure all of us know a woman that has done this exact thing. give me a break.

I mean, lets be honest. we all have a friend that's a womanizing asshole that has been turned down by a girl for being an asshole..and he still sleeps with her. I just find that unrealistic. | ||

I just get slightly annoyed when girls hate Sean Connery as bond because hes too chauvinist. like ya ok just cuz hes not hot to you doesn't mean he was a bad bond ur just blinded by hot men | ||
