Take this with a few grains of salt, I had heard this a day or two ago, but lost the piece of mail, so when the good doctor sent it, well, here ya go. Now I know this sounds sexist as hell, but BOND is sexist as hell. Bond ain't the greatest guy in the world. He's basically and cold hearted killer, albeit for Queen and country. He uses and disposes of people. He's an drinker and a gambler. He beats and kills men and women with no conscience. And he will screw any beautiful woman in the world and leave them with an empty pillow in the morning. I'm not saying this to hero worship the man, but that is who Bond is. If the powers that be feel uncomfortable with that character, if they feel he has become too dated to exist in our holier than thou society... then put him away in a time capsule with the prayers that a future society can pull their heads out from their butt cheeks and say, "JAMES BOND IS COOL". Bond would rather die than live in a world of non-alcoholic drinks, vegetarian, equal opportunity universe. At least that's my take on the character, perhaps the Talk Back will reflect a desire to see a domesticated Bond.
this is Dr. Schneider writing.
VIVA TEXT, a German news system, today reported as follows ((translated from German, Harry please correct me in case there are any mistakes)):
" No < All people who watched the James Bond
movies just for the sexy Bond girls might
be disappointed of the 19th spy thriller:
Director Michael Apted wants to ban
< Having read this, I can already imagine the
next Bond installment pretty well ---
once again we will be haunted by
an endless number of silly action scenes and
yet we will _once again_ walk out of the
theater without having seen what we
really would have liked to.... Apted sucks
and he will make Bond suck once again, too.
So long,
Dr. Schneider
