From my cold dead hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to this article<\/a>\u00a0Barbara Broccoli is a rather forlorn woman.\u00a0It seems the prospect of Ms Babz losing her favorite boy toy has her lamenting in abject misery. Quote:<\/p>\n

Broccoli told Variety: \u201cI\u2019m in total denial.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve accepted what Daniel has said, but I\u2019m still in denial. It\u2019s too traumatic for me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Traumatic?!<\/span> I hope you have your emotional support animal close at hand!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stamped and filed!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Traumatic? You knew this day would come didn’t you? Sooner or later this craggy old man would have to shuffle off this cinematic coil for greener pastures, to be replaced with a younger, newer model right? She goes on:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty devastating.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c[And] if he hadn\u2019t come back [for No Time To Die], I was gonna go put a duvet on my head and cry for three years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Madam producer, you’re a woman of nearly 60 years young who proclaims herself a massive feminist. A woman who rules her production company with an iron fist, yet here you are bemoaning the loss of your silver screen crush like at 12 year old girl! Look, personally I don’t care if you want to be a woman of steel who drives your enemies before you, or take the persona of a prepubescent “tweenager” who frets over her monthly copy of Tiger Beat<\/em> magazine, but you must pick one or the other!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He is indeed the ginchiest<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stop crying over the spilled milk of Daniel Craig, put on your big woman pants and get down to business, that is if you are in fact a real force to be reckoned with in the film industry. If you are not, then go back to sucking your thumb under that duvet and stop proclaiming yourself a strong independent woman, because not only are you making yourself out to be a fool, but you’re also setting back the feminist movement you claim to love so much, by 30 years every time you make with the cutesy love struck little girl act!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why can’t Craig stay Bond FOREVAAAAA!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As to Craig’s decision to return for this film, he says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then she was just persistent and came to me with some ideas, which we started formulating, and I got excited again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve got an inclination as to what those “ideas” were ($$$$$$$$).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh yes Babz, those truly\u00a0are some very big, exciting ideas!<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then we have this article<\/a>\u00a0entitled,\u00a0\u2018No Time to Die\u2019: A Rare In-Depth Interview With the Keepers of James Bond.\u00a0<\/em>A rare interview indeed, so rare I doubt it ever happened. This article is so derivative of so many other interviews given by EON over the last decade, I have to wonder if the production company just hands out the same talking points year after year, or if this author went back through the archives and picked apart previous essays to build this Frankenstein’s monster of an article.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was an article several other articles in the making.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyone who’s kept even a half blind eye on the goings on at EON will recognize this content from other write-ups over the years. It’s not so much an interview with the two producers but rather a history of their involvement in Bond films, along with interviews from others incidental to the productions, current and former directors, writers, and Danny himself, but very little from Babz or her doddering older half brother Michael G. Wilson.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A rather light read.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are however, a few points of interest, first:<\/p>\n

Craig\u2019s selection was considered to be such an affront to 007 purists that websites, dubbed CraigNotBond, sprang up to decry his casting.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for the free advertising fella!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank-sh, thank-sh a lot!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s the darndest thing, almost every time I turn around it feels like there’s another EON authorized puff piece mentioning this site.\u00a0I presume they’re doing this as some sort of tease at us, as if to say, “look at us, Craig is still Bond aren’t we so smart!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The classy version!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However the joke’s on EON. It’s nothing but free advertising for this site, in fact it’s how I discovered it way back in 2012, when EON plastered this site full screen in the documentary Everything Or Nothing.<\/em>\u00a0So I suppose you could say EON themselves created this incarnation of the monster!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are very much alive and well!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And when you consider the pro-Craig sites are getting no mention in the media, I’d say we’re doing pretty good!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m sorry old boy, but nobody’s interested in your underwear fetish.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next thing from this article;<\/p>\n

Already, the media has begun speculating about who could step into Bond\u2019s impeccably tailored tuxedo<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s very true, everyone is looking past No Time To Die to whomever is going to replace Craig, nobody cares about him anymore. Whether you loved him or hated him you have to admit he’s well past his sell by date. As I said in this rant<\/a>\u00a0back in the summer of 2017, bringing back Craig would be a let down and bad business. This film would be nothing but wall to wall free positive advertising, discussing the thrill of a new actor. Instead we get either vacuous puff pieces written by EON themselves or ad nauseam discussion over tampons and female “007.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Garnering more buzz than the current production!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of “female Bond” we get this:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can be of any color, but he is male,\u201d says Broccoli. \u201cI believe we should be creating new characters for women \u2014 strong female characters. I\u2019m not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The ironic side effect of that statement has been the return of the politically charged entertainment pundits to further their combat in trench warfare. The irony comes in the fact these combatants have switched trenches! The he-man woman haters who were so incensed at Babz over “female 007” are now defending her over these comments and the blue haired shrieking banshees who were all a titter that there will “finally be a female Bond” as if anyone<\/span> were asking for that, are now burning Babz in effigy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BOO, down with Barbara Broccoli and “female 007!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Huzzah! Long live the queen!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But here’s the thing, Babz initially said that very thing over a year ago! Here’s<\/a>\u00a0my take from October of 2018, discussing her original statement. As I said before concerning these non Bond fans they only pop up to score points on each other in the battle for political supremacy and don’t give a toss the rest of the time. If they were paying any sort of attention to the overall comings and goings of Bond they’d already be aware of Babz’ comments and wouldn’t be making fools of themselves now!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keeping a sharp eye on what happens with the Bond franchise!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll leave you with a few more of Babz’ words lionizing her crush as “Da Bestus Eva!” Stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brought flesh and blood to the character,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ah yes! There was no Bond before Craig, he is the one to have created the character and given life to the role! Every actor from Connery to Brosnan were just frauds. If you believe that you are not a Bond fan, but rather a Craig fan. Hey there’s no shame in that, enjoy what you like, but you must recognize the truth.<\/p>\n

Babz continues:<\/p>\n

\u201cBond in the novel is a silhouette. Daniel has given him depth and an inner life. We were looking for a 21st-century hero, and that\u2019s what he delivered. He bleeds; he cries; he\u2019s very contemporary.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So now apparently Craig is no longer Fleming’s Bond?! I afraid I’m a bit confused, wasn’t it madam Babz who declared endlessly since Craig’s casting that it was he<\/span> and only he<\/strong> who could embody the intricacies of Fleming’s elaborate character. However, according to the perpetually 12 year old Teen Beat<\/em>\u00a0fan, now Fleming’s masterwork was nothing but an empty husk and the mythical Craig was able to swoop in and create from whole cloth a hero for all millennia. So all of you Craig apologists stop repeating the previous company line, namely Craig is the truest and closest to the Bond of the novels, since now according to your queen that is no longer the case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hereby decree Daniel Craig is the epitome of Craig’s Bond, death to Fleming’s Bond, huzzah!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
