Why am I not surprised?
What's next......"Shequanda...The Lone Rangeret" or maybe "Hop Along Kasindra"......?
And for the record......Shawn Connery was James Bond......everyone since are just posers.

As long as i ma concerned the franchise has been dead for many years now...Pierce Brosnan was the last JB. Daniel Craig is a stone face looking Britt that doesn't even fit the role. He came in and BMW went out. all the cool gadgets and toy went out. the essence of a spy movie was lost. i haven't been watching it for year.
i am more of a Jon Wick and Mission Impossible Kinda guy.

I'm a big fan of the Daniel Craig Bond movies so I'll watch this one because of him. After that I'm done with them.

The leftist, democrats, liberals, communist, socialist, islamites, lesbians, gays, transgenderism, most of the news media, and globalist hate Americans, the Constitution, and the USA. They are all enemies and traitors of America.
This sums it up perfectly! The decay of America continues with the nonstop attacks from the liberals!

Ian Fleming's bond was a clandestine operative in today's lingo. He was a womanizer who drank and smoked far too much - "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" starts out with him basically going to rehab. Even though he tried to forget them, the people he killed eventually started to weigh on him. He used the latest tools available for clandestine operations but that wasn't what he was all about. Cubby Broccoli turned him into a cartoon character and a parody of what Fleming created, but those movies did sell. As much as Craig is a typical anti-gun Brit he brought back the hard edge that Bond requires.
This is the Bond that Fleming created:
From Goldfinger, Chapter One
James Bond, with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death.
It was part of his profession to kill people. He had never liked doing it and when he had to kill he did it as well as he knew how and forgot about it. As a secret agent who held the rare double-O prefix—the licence to kill in the Secret Service—it was his duty to be as cool about death as a surgeon. If it happened, it happened. Regret was unprofessional—worse, it was death-watch beetle in the soul.
And yet there had been something curiously impressive about the death of the Mexican. It wasn't that he hadn't deserved to die. He was an evil man, a man they call in Mexico a capungo. A capungo is a bandit who will kill for as little as forty pesos, which is about twenty-five shillings—though probably he had been paid more to attempt the killing of Bond—and, from the look of him, he had been an instrument of pain and misery all his life. Yes, it had certainly been time for him to die; but when Bond had killed him, less than twenty-four hours before, life had gone out of the body so quickly, so utterly, that Bond had almost seen it come out of his mouth as it does, in the shape of a bird, in Haitian primitives.
What an extraordinary difference there was between a body full of person and a body that was empty! Now there is someone, now there is no one. This had been a Mexican with a name and an address, an employment card and perhaps a driving licence. Then something had gone out of him, out of the envelope of flesh and cheap clothes, and had left him an empty paper bag waiting for the dustcart. And the difference, the thing that had gone out of the stinking Mexican bandit, was greater than all Mexico.
Bond looked down at the weapon that had done it. The cutting edge of his right hand was red and swollen. It would soon show a bruise. Bond flexed the hand, kneading it with his left. He had been doing the same thing at intervals through the quick plane trip that had got him away. It was a painful process, but if he kept the circulation moving the hand would heal more quickly. One couldn't tell how soon the weapon would be needed again. Cynicism gathered at the corners of Bond's mouth.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Wasn't it Daniel Craig who couldn't even drive a stick shift car? Sean Connery was, and always will be my idea of the James Bond character. The rest of them are just poor imitations. Jerry

The only way they could have done worse than casting Lashanna Lynch is if they cast Loretta Lynch in the part. Bond is Dead.

"What a story line. Oversexed, Anglo-Saxon hetero macho male rebuffed and replaced by Black lesbian."
All I need to know to not go.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Breaking! All the EX-James Bonds at one poker table! ....and the cocktail waitress becomes the new 007!!!
That's a lot of medium dry vodka martini's, "shaken, not stirred."

This is actually the only move they could make. They last floated Idris Elba as the next bond. Pushback was SIGNIFICANT primarily due to him being black. So they were stuck, couldn't have Craig continue and save face, couldn't put up another white actor.....Hmmmm. Need a new plan.
She isn't the next Bond, in fact Craig is in the movie as Bond, a retired Bond, so no longer 007. She is a new spy, a new 007
Gives them two possible paths, actually 3: 1) She fails, they still have Bond to fall back to 2) She succeeds, Bond can stay retired 3) New franchise in a later timeline than Bond, keep Bond going
