Incendiary topic alert!!!!
Sep 24 2008, 11:16 AM EDT OK, the last time this came up it was a bit of a conversational atom bomb, but I think it merits discussion. I, for one, think this is the right move. While I support gay rights (and am not sparking a debate here), I think this is what's best for the character. Bond flat out simply has never been a gay character. In fact, he's a bit (just a bit) of a womanizer so this would be an odd turn IMO. 5 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

Sep 24 2008, 5:21 PM EDT Booooo! OK, I'm biased. I acknowledge this is 'right' for the character. **sighs*** Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 24 2008, 6:37 PM EDT I totally agree here. I think it would be done just to appease certain people and appeal PC. Give me a break. It's not in THIS character's nature. People should stop trying to change who a character is to fit what they want. Let him keep shagging the beauties. Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 25 2008, 2:11 AM EDT Sorry biggaybondfan - I know you have high hopes. I'm with dmeyers on this one. The right move for the series. We have enough straying from convention already. This would certainly cross the line. Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 26 2008, 9:13 AM EDT "a very bad one"LOL. Ive been in a couple myself. Some were quite good and friendly to hetero sexuals invading their territory but a few were.....well lets just say...over friendly lol. I never felt threatened though, not even uncomfortable, just somewhat irked. Some people cant take no for an answer and my tongue can give as good a lashing as any gay mans.

RE: Incendiary topic alert!!!!
Sep 26 2008, 7:55 PM EDT I completely agree with you Dmevers. Although there are gay rights there is just no need to make Bond a gay character. Why would you consider doing that at all? I am not bashing anyone who might be gay but gay is still considered less normal than straight... 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Sep 29 2008, 6:43 PM EDT I don't understand why the gay agenda must permeate everything. It's like "the token black guy" factor. ...In the same light why must there be a gay character or even gay scene? To respond to the OP, I agree with the article's interviewee. I don't see why the topic should have come up at all with the character evolution. If one is a smoker and all they can think about is smoking, they have an issue. I feel the same way about obese people with their food and homosexuals and their push for their culture. Get over yourself (everyone). You are a human..relate to the movie and people on that level. If you can't, then don't spoil the majority's experience with your queer (of the non demeaning sense) opinions, ideals and push. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Incendiary topic alert!!!!
Sep 29 2008, 7:12 PM EDT Pretty sure this point came up the LAST time we had this discussion, but: It WOULD be interesting to consider whether Bond would seduce another man "in the line of duty." What if Le Chiffre's weakness had been men instead of gambling -- is it inconceivable that M would say to Bond, "OK, put your charm and looks to constructive use for once"? Not likely, of course -- it's a risk I doubt the series would ever take (or should ever NEED to take). But it's an interesting question. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Incendiary topic alert!!!!
Sep 29 2008, 8:31 PM EDT My point exactly. It would NOT be interesting to see such. What is it with this queer fascination? And it is a fascination if people even suggest the notion of such a theme in the movie. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Oct 7 2008, 11:54 AM EDT Bond is not gay. Period. Bond is the ultimate womanizer. Period. Now maybe a gay villian. That would be funny. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
