Listen pal. I've been polite, these are public forums. But seriously Im sick of this **** about homofobio. So stop pushing it. I don't care if your straight, gay or asexual. I said in an early post if you'd BOTHERED TO READ IT that there a plenty of movies out there with gay characters that you could watch. But that its not suitable for what are now family films.
I really don't understand what your on about, its never going to happen and a little civility and politeness on your behalf might go a long way. In future refrain from pushing your insecurities onto me thanks.
I said that we don't know for sure that any character apart from the women who've slept with Bond are hetrosexual. If it helps, think of the rest as gay.
Why are you really even on these forums? Your obviously not a very big fan of the series, you've constantly bashed Bond, Ian Fleming in the post above and think that Madonna's involvement dwarfs the project.
I already said why i didn't think Everett should play Bond. I think Hugh Jackman's better suited and younger to considering that Bond 22 won't turn out till 2006 or so.

im not homophobic at all, and quite frankly i dont care what solitaire thinks anymore. i too gave reasons why the bond series doesnt need gay characters, and if solitaire thinks im homophobic thats too bad.
btw solitaire, just to satisfy my curiosity, can u whistle?

Alright, anymore talk suggesting another forum member is homophobic or homosexual will be deleted. Lets have some respect for each other here. This goes for everybody.
True, but homosexuals can have more societal pressures put on them that can lead to mental problems.

I'm gay,and I don't have a mental illness,neither do any of the gay people I know,and gay people are certainly not interested in seeing some crazy gay villian in a Bond film.

I'm not going anywhere with that, I just think its quite a funny thing to say.

I am just curious, solitaire, how would you have felt had any of the previous Bond villains had been gay? No other major changes to the character or plot only a change to the main villains sexual preference. What if Zorin was gay? What if they would have said that Scarmanga only slept with women before a kill, but was with men the rest of the time? What if Carver was gay and Paris was only a 'beard'? And what about other characters? What if it is revealed that Robinson is gay? Or M? What about Saunders?
Personally, I think any of these could have spiced things up a bit as long as there was a balance in the long run.[/font]

I think there are many other more competant actors out there more suited to play Bond. More notably Hugh Jackman (although I'd rather see him as Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt, but those of us who follow that whole story know that it just ain't gonna happen!) or even Clive Owen.
And Solitaire, I don't think it's very fair to attack other Bond fans "whose lives revolve around Bond", as you put it. Some of us are just really into the whole thing. We've had this discussion before on what a Bond Fan is - it's up to you. It's your decision on how much you want to put your time into it, etc. I can't say what kind of a fan you are, because I don't know what you consider a fan as, or to what degree you like Bond.
Can't we all just get along???
