Furore over next James Bond ... if Jewish actor Aaron Taylor-Joy gets the gig ... apparently 'rascists' (The Sun) are threatening to boycot the film if he is given the role ...

In fairness, I have never been a fan of the franchise and don't think I've actually watched one all the way through - just not my cup of tea - although from the snippets I've seen over the years, 'Bond' will always be Sean Connery ...

But the world has gone mad if people are going to start boycotting films on the basis of race, creed or colour of individual actors ... although I suspect it's always gone on, to some extent ...

I think he’d actually make a really decent Bond.

I’d imagine he’ll be one of, if not the youngest actor to play the role as well so after what happened in No Time To Die they could do a sort of soft reboot and portray Bond in his earlier years.

Didn't Casino Royale do that though? Unless you mean before he joined MI5?

It'll be interesting to see how they bring him back after his supposed death.

Yeah I actually forgot he earned the 00 thing at the start of Casino Royale, so scrap my idea, lol.

The Bloody Hundredth

Documentary that's an accompaniment to the Masters of the air series.

Lots of footage and interviews with pilots and crews of the 100th bomb group. Pretty remarkable men.

8/10
 
Just switched on A Perfect Planet with David Attenborough. Listening to him narrating as an iguana on the galapogas islands goes diving into the warm currents of the ocean to look for seaweed, is simply compelling viewing.

Connery was THE Bond.

Until Daniel Craig rocked up.

SkyFall is the best Bond movie made (so far)

Bond was a white middle class, mid thirties brit with Scottish ancestry (as in Skyfall) 007 however could be any colour or gender providing they have all the credentials required carry their missions

I wonder what the reaction would be if Shaft or Django were played by a white actor.

The stink caused by a non Jewish actor playing a famous American composer recently was something to behold considering the mordern day penchant for filling historical drama with race inappropriate cast members. Diversity over realism seems to be the norm as long as it's not white people portraying ethnics.

007 has already been a woman mate.

Funnily enough, 55 Days At Peking was on yesterday - Chinese Empress and Prince played by Europeans with sellotape on the eyes ... farcical <laugh>
