The Wrap
Bill Maher Goes Off on ‘Woke’ James Bond, Who Is No Longer Allowed to ‘F—Hot Chicks’Rosemary Rossi Sat, July 23, 2022 at 8:23 PM Comedian Bill Maher, apparently, likes forever cool dude James Bond to have as much indiscriminate sex with as many exotic beauties as the dashing womanizer can get, a lifestyle which Maher thinks has been put in jeopardy because of the new “woke world.” On Maher’s latest edition of “Club Random Podcast,” the “Real Time” host spoke with YouTube star Hannah Stocking, who slipped into the conversation that she had a background in science. “You’re the hot scientist. You’re like Dr. Christmas in the embassy, the James Bond movie,” Maher said of the fictional nuclear physicist played by Denise Richards in “The World Is Not Enough.” “This was back in the day when James Bond was allowed to like, like, f— hot chicks. You know, now they can really, p—ified him,” Maher said. “It’s so pathetic. [Bond] literally takes his girlfriend and her daughter on his mission to save the world. He practically stops off at Target to buy tampons on the way to the underground lair.” He continued: “Yes, it’s because that’s what this is. The woke world we live in. But back in that day, Dr. Christmas and Denise Richards was hotter than the sun, still is, and but also a brilliant scientist. Which is just like, you looked at her and went, ‘That’s not really possible.’” Yes, attractive women can be super smart. There’s no law of nature against it. But come on, you gotta admit the Bond franchise objectifies women. Always has. And if pointing that out means the “woke world” is having an effect on films, hooray.

I wonder if all the female scientists (hot or not) in the world combined have have as many followers as even one of the Kartrashians.
Women need to walk the walk before they open their yaps.

You should be a big Bill Burr fan. You both come from the same area.
And he feels Boston is basically like an East Coast San Francisco...... just with more racism.  |

The Bond choices over the years have certainly been interesting and debatable.
I remember a piece theorizing that Bond was a sort of representation of the US, as well. As the years have passed, it's shifted from the early macho Mad Men environment, to whatever the latest progressive wind is blowing to.

1. It no longer matters, because now he's dead. 2. Sounds like another crackpot theory... It's a British book and film series, so if it's a representation of anything, it's the UK. |

Exactly........ from Scots, to Irish to English..........pretty well represented the UK actor-wise.
Though Wiki tells me Fleming sorta fashioned the character after an American, Hoagy Carmichael? Never heard of the guy before

Only his physical appearance... Other aspects of Bond's character came from other people Fleming knew, most notably, himself.  |

That's one thing that I think has influenced my opinions of the various actors. Connery being the touchstone, imo
So Brosnan ended up being my 2nd favorite........but Craig has kinda grown on me with his physicality.

My two favourite Bonds? 1. The literary version. 2. Timothy Dalton. |

WOW! Dalton? is certainly a surprise to me. Maybe it was because of the more hokey roles I've seen him in.......though he's been decent enough in most things I've seen him in.

He gave the closest interpretation of the lot to the literary version. He took the role seriously. |
