Kudos to new James Bond Daniel Craig for suggesting the next logical step in the Bond universe:

Daniel Craig is urging movie bosses to revolutionize the James Bond franchise by including a gay scene involving the superspy in the follow-up to Casino Royale.

The heart-throb actor has also reportedly told studio chiefs he is prepared to film a full frontal nude scene to please both his male and female admirers.

He says, "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it."

"I mean, look at (British TV series) Doctor Who - that has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye."

A gay bond scene is excellent idea because A) It would be totally hot, and B) The mere thought of Bond-on-man love is freaking out the wingnuts at the Free Republic.

Honestly [Report this comment] Posted by: albrechtkrausse on Nov 30, 2006 8:27 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] I know this will seem sexist and I'll probably get into trouble but this is an honest question. I'm not making judgements on the reason (nature vs nuture, evolution, stereotyping, the media, reasons for sexual arousal, or the differences between the sex 'acts' performed) But: 1) straight men, at least many men, have no problem with watching lesbians or bi-sexual females have sex, kiss, or whatever (of course if they are 'good looking') and in fact many seek it out. This is why is it trendy in movies (I'm not talking about porn) but in mainstream movies. 2) does this also apply to straight women? I've never met a women who liked watching gay porn. Maybe they exist but I don't thnk this movie would be as successfull since much of the audience is male and I don't know if women like watching guys have sex with each other. I know there was 'Brokeback' phenomena but was the appeal to women real the 'sexy' part or a good story, camera work, etc? Guys will watch a movie with an awful story if its got girls making out.

[Report this comment] Posted by: AlohaTerry on Nov 30, 2006 11:27 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] No Friggin' Way!!! I can accept a Blonde James Bond (Why didn't Craig dye his hair for Continuity however, I wonder?), but GAY (or Bi-?)---NO!!! NO, NO, NO!!! James Bond is one of the last TRULY HETEROSEXUAL Men out there! That would NOT work!! Nudity--whatever, Craig---Show us MORE FEMALE NUDITY, for Bond's Sake!!!
