FMC 3.0

So Pierce Brosnan, one of the better James Bonds, says that the problem with the Bond series is the lack of boobage. At least naked boobage. (see full article)

Halle Berry and Denise Richards certainly brought them to the party, but they couldn’t come out to play. It seems strange, almost dichotomous, that the Bond producers are so uptight about it. Bond is the single biggest nympho manwhore in movie history. He’s hit more tail that Don Juan and Cassanova combined. I mean, sex has always been a big part of the Bond Series, even back to the very beginning. The first Bond Girl was named “Honey Rider”. And she was in a bikini almost the whole movie. They’ve been that way all through the line - “Pussy Galore”, “Holly Goodhead”, “Xenia Onatopp” - the list goes on. Also, it’s almost a rule that he’s gotta score three times a flick - home comes close to that in every movie (no pun intended.) I think he even gets to that number in that Lazenby piece of crap that he gets hitched in.

Speaking of the Lazenby piece of crap, it does have one distinction - its the only Bond movie that relied more on Drama than it did action and humor - it had those, but it wasn’t the focus. The only other Bond that dramatic was The Spy Who Loved Me. Other than that, its total Bond Movie Formula:

A guy we all want to be + deliriously fun action scenes + clearly evil villains + (hot chicks + sex)^3 = Bond movie.

At any rate, I hope the next Bond is kick ass. I’m a fan of the series, but it is a bit in the rut. I’d like to see them get some total nobody to play Bond - let it be a career maker. For that matter, same goes for the Bond Girl. Unless they want to cast Scarlett. That would be a good time to change their nudity policy. (Oh, which reminds me, Michael Bay must still die.)
