We planned to take Saturday off, after planning out a whole week of special posts we dubbed our 'Autumn Bond-Fire'.....(in anticipation of the upcoming release of "No Time To Die"......
We simply could NOT avoid chiming in on "No Time"s director Cary Fukungaga's descent into wokester delirium......claiming that Sean Connery's instant seduction of Molly Peters in "Thunderball" is an act of rape.......
To recap this sequence: Bond playfully threatens to blame his health farm therapist Patricia for his almost fatal encounter with a back-stretching machine (a murder attempt made by a fellow patron, Spectre agent Count Lippe). Being Bond of the 1960's naturally, the price for his silence is a bout of steamy boffing in the shower room.......
or translated by Fukungaga into 2021 woke-ism.....rape.
Memo to Cary: Are you ****in' kidding? Did you check the release year of "Thunderball"?
In case it slipped your mind, or you never heard of checking IMDB, the year was 1965. It was also the year, as we'll cover in an upcoming post, that 'Thunderball' arrived when Bond mania had reached a blistering, white-hot frenzy around the entire planet.
.......when non-English speaking audiences referred to Bond as Mr. Kiss-Kiss Bang Bang.....
And yes, the Bond of the 60's was a sexual freewheeler, taking full advantage of the new revolutionary boldness sweeping the world. Prepare to clutch your pearls, Cary......audiences (both men and women) couldn't get enough of watching Bond swashbuckle his way through all the girls in each film.
That was the era, Cary......if you're not capable of seeing it in the context of its time, then you should probably shut up.......cause sounding like a pearl-clutching snowflake is not a good look for someone who directed a James Bond film.
Yours in Bond-of-mania, BQ.
