James Bond went to the Sorbonne, not Oxbridge- it's a trivial pursuit question!

worcswoman what an ignorant post Shock

Shirkingfromhome · 16/06/2016 18:04

James Bond isn't black or low born Shock

How ignorant Idris would be a far better bond than Hiddleston. I think he'd bring something new to the role and not because he's black.

Bond needs some forcefulness, like Connery. Tom has none of that but Idris has buckets. And is there a competition for how many public school boys we know?!

James Bond is an upper class British gentleman. I know the type; public school, Oxbridge then straight into the foreign office or the military. James Bond isn't black or low born. He just isn't.

Not quite-read the original books. James Bond is not posh, though he isn't "low-born" (by the way, the seventeenth century rang, it wants its horrid expression back). He has got a Scottish father and a Swiss mother and grew up abroad, making him unclassifiable and something of an outsider to the British class system.

That's the Fleming Bond. The film Bond can be anything the producers want him to be. In much the same way that people put on Shakespeare plays with e.g. black and Asian actors in whatever roles they fancy.

So, let's get back to Tiddles again. Where will, their next pappertunity be?

I vote... Zoo. But still Taylor may be chilly and Tom will manfully and chivalrously drape his jacket over her shoulders as they take selfies with emus.

TheSpottedZebra · 16/06/2016 18:26

No. I retract that. It will be poetry-based.

Tom is annoyed that Lin-Manuel Miranda (LOVE!) accepted his Tony award with a sonnet. A sonnet! Talking about love, and acceptance, and it was beautiful.

Tom may go full epic...

Cocolepew · 16/06/2016 18:29

KK is dissing Taylor atm.
Hiddles will spring into action and will challenge Kanye to a dual at dawn.

Loving the thread - well, until Worcswoman's bizarre input, but I do have to quibble with a pp who was claiming that Calvin Harris's transformation was the most remarkable ever. I give you Exhibit A for the defence - Chris Pratt, ladies and gentlemen.

I love Chris Pratt so much.

UnGoogleable · 16/06/2016 18:36

For the record Idris Elba is my #1 choice for Bond. Manly and masterful he most certainly is.

Bond didn't wear a toupee (like Sean Connery) either. But that didn't seem to matter, cos, you know.. acting.

Anyway, back to Tiddles... I want to see him trying to look manly whilst cuddling her cats. Or dancing at one of her shows.

CheerfulYank · 16/06/2016 18:38

Adam Levine didn't do too badly either, bless him :o

Blimey, that Chris Pratt pic may have pipped CH! Shock

DaleMaily · 16/06/2016 18:43

I'm sure I read it in an interview drink. It sounded more like "I couldn't be arsed with that, I like the quiet life", but could equally be interpreted as jealousy.

TheOnlyLiving that is incredible! Almost makes me think I could have an Hollywood career with enough working out and surgery.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 16/06/2016 18:46

I would love to see Idris as Bond misses point of thread

Bond should be sort of coldly menacing and yet look like he smells amazing. Having seen that utter debacle from the Met ball there is no way that is it.

Bond does not smell of desperation. He used to smell of Brute but these days it's probably something insanely expensive and exclusive from Miller Harris.

raisedbyguineapigs · 16/06/2016 18:54

worcswoman The ethnic origin of Bond has no bearing on the story. He is meant to be a spy. Like undercover, so he could be anyone. The story of Othello would make no sense if he was white, as the story is about his ethnic origin and the differences between him and every one else in the play. It's a stupid comparison and the Othello argument, when raised by white male actors makes then look ignorant and racist. I wonder why?

Shirkingfromhome · 16/06/2016 18:58

I can't not look. Make it stop.
