frick that. James Bond is white. It's not enough already that the PC crowd is being placated with a black Felix Leiter and Monypenny? For frick's sake. Just stop.

I've actually seen a theory that James Bond is just a code name, hence the various Bond characters and personalities. Just like M, Q, Moneypenny, etc.

Yeah, and that theory is crap. The theatrical and literary Bond's both have a family history and a family crest. Bond's childhood is chronicled as well. So for the race baiters, get over yourselves. That's not what this is. At least for me, I have an appreciation for what the author intended.

If you've ever read any of Ian Flemings original stories, the James Bond you see onscreen really is nothing like the James Bond you see on paper.

100% agree.

100% agree, too. I'm a huge Bond fan..like ridiculously huge, and I really just don't like the new films. Bond has never been about continuity really, but the new ones just shite all over the old ones in that respect.
