People’s 2018 Sexiest Man Alive

Yeah, in Hollywood when they talk about “foreigners taking our jobs” they are usually referring to Brits and Aussies. :)


Niice:lamo

thats definitely true on the walking dead franchise
 
He would be an AWESOME James Bond!!!!

Make him the illegitimate grandson of James Bond, with the same name passed down, and then both ideologues and traditionalists can be happy.

are there people unhappy about the rumors he could be a bond one day? well thats just silly but if thats what thats what it takes thats up to the movie makers. Id say F em lol
 
Yeah, yeah, it is a silly contest that only considers celebrities but silly can be fun.

This year they named Idris Elba their Sexiest Man Alive
https://people.com/movies/idris-elba-sexiest-man-alive-2018-reveal/

I had been expecting this one for several years now. Now if they could finally get around to making him James Bond I might take interest in the franchise again.

He'd be a diesel James Bond.

Word is, they want that Cumberbach guy for the role...word is, they also want bond to be gay.


Not sure how I feel on that last one...

When Idris was first suggested as a possible Bond, there was a backlash against it. In the books Bond was the son of French and Scottish parents I believe, so being true to the books it would not work.

The movies have never really gotten into his ancestry (one Craig one did if I recall correctly) so a British Black Bond could work

Ugh..... i like Cumberbach actually but i dont think he is a bond at all... i could be totally wrong though. :shrug:

I love Cumberbatch. He makes a great Sherlock Holmes and Dr Strange. But he would be a horrible choice for Bond.

I don’t think they should go gay as being a womanizer is a key part of the character.

interesting. those are books i never read. People are funny what they backlash about. but thats the case with all book vs movie things, its nothign new. do they have to be full blood? i mean just saying im french and irish and im still black. BUT im more caffe latte. . Idris not so much . . he is dark chocolate LMAO

in that case the illegitimate son angle could def work though

Not masculine enough. Idris would I expect be very close to Connery in the role

He can be a manizer, as long as he's the dashing fellow in every room. Is that stubby guy still scurrying about sets pretending to be cool?

When I see Cumberbatch I think Kim Philby..........
 
Eco and I are also available. Nothing like a well aged wine

Eco is already a member, since he's posted a pic in the Tavern. If you have too, you are also a member; if not, get crackin'! :lol:

Nope! All male DP'ers, whether old, young, hefty, skinny, bald or ponytailed, who post pics in the Tavern Pictures thread are welcomed into Hooter Babe's Stud Patrol, regardless of ideological lean! I love men, what can I say? :lol:

The Bond from the novels and the Bond from the movies have always been different. The Bond from the novels was a chain smoking alcoholic, was more violent and even more misogynistic. He also didn’t have all those cool gadgets, which is a defining element of the movie Bond.

So I don’t think we should worry if it is true to the novels but true to the movies. Movie Bond’s ancestry is far less important than his nationality.

Movie Bond is British, a womanizer, into cool gadgets, drives an Aston Martin, is a suave dresser, is an excellent fighter and drinks his martinis shaken, not stirred. Everything else is flexible. :)

I agree and think Idris would make for a great Bond, he has the womanizer, suave dresser part down. He has the size to be a great fighter

yeah i rethought this this and i have to agree . . at first i was thinking a player is a player BUT ........while of course the bond movies are fantasy and a stretch i think making the availability of enough gay co-stars/characters for him to play or get info out of would totally throw things off LMAO the natural ratio of gays vs straight wouldnt allow it to work . . he could be bi sexual though that could still work.

Would you consider it silly if some writer decided he wanted to make a Black Panther who just happened to be white?

I would consider it a transgression against the original character. Just as simply giving us a Bond who was black would be.

However, if it's a descendant of Bond-- and it's unlikely that the story would be in the 50s or 60s anyway-- that would be a reasonable work-around.

1.) that would depend . . . i mean since the home land is africa, its a black nation and the name is black panther thats DRAMATICALLY different. It completely changes everything, the story is now completely different. It also came up what if bond was gay. Ask me if i would care if black panther was gay, that answer would be nope. In fact for black panther so far it wouldnt make a difference at all really.

but in case you missed it i did say i dont think gay would work well for 007 because the story would change to much. he is a player and the amount of other gay characters you would have to create would be silly and wouldnt make sense but if he was bisexual that would work just fine. Color would be completely meaningless to me for 007 though because the story would still work just fine.

2.) transgression? lol no thats silly i wouldnt. race woulndt matter to me for bond because the story could still work. Gay wouldn't story wise bisexual would be just fine.

3.) exactly it doesnt impact the story at all
