Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Pacific Rim: Uprising was very disappointing. I was a big fan of the first, and they managed to take all the cool stuff about the original and turn it into "Power Rangers, with robots"

I get kidded by my sons because my two favorite comedy movies are This is the End--the Rogen/Franco/McBride/Hill apocalypse movie...and Hangover Part II.

James Franco normally cracks me up, so I watched The Disaster Artist today. It was pretty good, different.
 
Its a long ways away, but the next James Bond is set to come out in NOV 2019. After that, the internet (so it has to be true) is going crazy that Emily Blunt is one of 10 females that might play the next Agent 007 from MI6.. I have no issues with this or any other entries.....:-oO_o8-):-x

Lauren Cohan
Archie Panjabi
Ems Blunt
Hayley Atwell
Gillain Anderson
Thandie Newton
Gugu MBatha
Lena Headey
Eva Green
Kate Beckinsale

A female James Bond? Nothing against women in lead action roles, but this, IMO, would be the death of the franchise.

Half of those aren't even British. That should be an automatic exclusion.

Idris Elba is my choice.
 
Rumor has it that there is gay Bond in the cue. So tired of every hollywierd movie having a gay innuendo.🙄
 
To date, there have been 24 Bond movies. Why not try something different? Hell, there was a rumor about casting a prominent black actor last year (Idris Elba was the name thrown around), and that could've been something unique and different. I don't see the problem here.

Agreed.

007 as a character is supposed to just be the agent identifier, not a singular specific character archetype or gender. Personally I'd love to see Idris Elba fill the role but I wouldn't mind seeing Blunt either.

Sure but if they tried to use the same name is where I go nope. Retired James Bond and a new 007 with a new name/color/gender/whatever fine.
 
One of the biggest fan theories out there is that Bond isn't the same guy. It is an alias that goes with the 007 title. I've only read one of the books so I don't know if that was Fleming's intent, but it gives the Broccoli family an opening to cast whomever. I love most of the actresses on that list, but a Bond who isn't a straight male?

I’m never against expanding roles to allow for a wider range of casting choices, I just don’t like seeing a Character with such a set personality changed. He’s 007- there are several other 00 agents. Maybe start a spin off with 006 or whatever and have that be the set female lead.

Because the James Bond character isn't black and isn't female. Flemming drew pictures of bond as a white dude. Sure, it's cool to have a different 007 agent character, but would you change the black panther to a white women? You don't have to change everything in the name of equality.
