I guess I'm just not that invested in Bond. I've never read a book and the only recent Daniel Craig one I saw was the one where Judi died on the Scottish moors. I didn't think much of it. So to shake up a tired franchise I could see the reason in some 'revolutionary' casting changes. If it was to go down that line I'd go with the fella from the last True Detective series. He was great. As for blacking up I wasn't aware that part of Idris' future Bond contract was going to include whiting up Originally posted by Stirlingsays
You're alright with whites playing 'Sitting Bull' or blacking up for native Indians then.....Ok, I get your argument in a sense.....It was what I saw growing up. Essentially it's an argument that sees whites playing the Zulu army and blacks the British. I just think that it all gets a bit absurd.....but once you accept the concept that's what we have.....but at the moment it appears that there's only an outcry if whites play non whites.

For me, if someone is consistent for all, then while I don't think it's a realistic position it's a position that I can at least respect. It's the 'colour blind' stuff....the old MJK junior routine. The problem is that's not the game anymore. The only demographic going on about 'I have a dream' are white liberals and no one else is listening. However as a principled position it's a respectable one.....it's just that it ends up with you being Captain Smith and going down with the ship. Whereas...if that b1tch could have just shifted over...

I remember when this site used to be a bit of fun and have some wit and charm about it. Now it's just moaning about absolutely everything with no humour, just bitterness and anger. The internet was a much better place when it was the domain of nerds. Weirdly, they are a lot less sensitive. Nerds also could spot clickbait like "TEH NEW JAMES BOND IS GUNNA BE BLACK - AN YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO'S BEEN LINED UP TO PLAY HIM/HER!!!!" and let it die where it deserves. But now people let it perpetuate because they just want to get mad about something. Internet 2.0 is dead mate. It’s difficult to estimate how bad things are now. I think you will find that people have finally woken up to this rather than just become complacent. The internet has both helped poison the culture and shown people how this works at the same time.
