quite agree with you. I actually saw one and said to myself: "never, ever again"!!!
well, maybe if I can get a pic where somebody jumps out of a crashing (going down on the vertical) plane and that gets down before the plane (as if he's heavier and the gravity works stronger on the man)... well... (see "Golden eye" for references)

| If he makes himself into a more aerodynamic shape there would be less air resistance, thereby causing him to fall quicker :P |

| I frickin' love James Bond! If you've never seen one, you don't have much to say about dumb. But if you're going to see one, I suggest one of the earlier ones with Sean Connery as 007. Those were classics. Of course, he came back in the 80s and did "Never Say Never Again." |

Alienyst: I bet you don't like him because you grew up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. In the early days, James Bond was one of our great heros against The Red Menace! (I'm being silly, ok. Don't take offense.) |

I meant "Another Day" on that last one, not Alienist.
Besides, "Die Another Day" is the title of a James bond movie. You can work with that! |

I can't believe that the SC actually took my suggestion. I'm really excited about this one, many ideas but none with an octopuss or a ...... well you get the idea. ALright folks, lets see your hidden spy come out.

But, that is the whole point of any Bond movie.
Ever seen the original '60s version of Casino Royale. Bond movies taken to the extreme of sexist, and dumb, but hilarious.

He didn't say sexy, he said sexIST - meaning demeaning towards women.
sexism:
1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women
2 : behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex
And in all fairness, I never found Bond that appealing myself. Not because of the sexism, but that they were just dumb.

Well I never expected to see such a negative response to this challenge. To those of you who think Bond is Dumb and sexist please remember that Bond was created way back in the 50's by Ian Flemming. It was a different time and much of what we consider today to be sexist was just the norm back then. Try to have fun with this challenge, there are so many aspects of Bond that don't include women or sex. If you don't like the idea, don't enter this challenge. I'm looking foward to see what people are going to do, I've already got tons of ideas and have since I'm the one who suggested this challenge.
