re: Rush Limbaugh doesn't want Idris Elba as Bond. ..

Not only is James Bond obviously not black, but Ian Fleming did not hold blacks in too high regard. I thought it was funny when they cast Felix Leiter as black. Here is one of his quotes from Live and Let Die the novel....
quote:
"We'll have to keep on our toes, where we’re going," said Felix Leiter, echoing his thoughts. "Harlem's a bit of a jungle these days. People don't go up there any more like they used to. Before the war, at the end of the evening, one used to go to Harlem just as one goes to Montmartre in Paris. They were glad to take one's money. One used to go to the Savoy Ballroom and watch the dancing. Perhaps pick up a high-yaller and risk the doctor's bills afterwards. Now that's all changed. Harlem doesn't like being stared at any more. Most of the places have closed and you go to the others strictly on sufferance. Often you get tossed out on your ear, simply because you're white. And you don't get any sympathy from the police either."

All Limbaugh wants is attention. And he's succeeding. I doubt the guy is this stupid or even a real racist.

Rush is too high to know what he is talking about anyway.

Yeah, if there is a reason not to make James Bond black, that reason definitely isn't because the author was racist

so, how did you feel about the switch from Scottish to English actors?

Next James Bond will either be Idris Elba or Michael Fassbender. And Sony doesn't give two shits what an old racist who is hooked on painkillers thinks.

I disagree

Meh, switching from Scots to Brits isn't all that noticable to most people. But there was a bit of consternation at Daniel Craig bc he was blonde

An overdone franchise making it's 50th movie doesn't deserve Stringer Bell as the lead.

that's just being an a-hole for the sake of being an a-hole. But it is Rush Limbaugh sooooo......

Can we have both?

Well, Fassbender is German.
I guess they'll just change everything now, huh?

So basically you're saying the "it's not his skin color, it's sticking to the source material" argument is bullshite? I agree.

Rush is the very definition of what liberals think republicans are.
Old, white, fat, racist millionaire that didn't work for their money. And with him they're spot on.
