I'm bi. I have yet to see CR, but I've heard Craig was spectacular.
On that note...no. No. Just no. I'm sorry, but that's not at ALL Bondlike in any way. That would just be ridiculous and not believable in the slightest...Bond is amazingly straight. Period.

Maybe Bond has always been gay, but doesn't want anyone to know, and overcompensates for this by sleeping with many, many women.

[glow=black,5,300]why is it that one of the least attractive Bonds wants to do this, if Connery had done it that would be one thing, but this guy has already spit in the face of Bond enough as it is, as a man that likes a little more than he should (talk to anyone from the chat thread if you don't get it), I'd just like to say, this is disgusting[/glow]

He rigged a defibrillator up to his heart and brought him back from the brink of death! For the record, I still hate the idea. A lot.

I could believe Pierce Brosnan as the gay James Bond, I have no foundation for the original statement though.

I don't think he's the least attractive Bond. We'll always have Lazenby.
But no. This is a bad idea from the word 'go'. Not because there's anything wrong with being gay (because there isn't), but because... James Bond isn't gay. We've had how many years of backstory on him now? And not even a twinkle of it? Hell, he won't even go after Moneypenny because she's not Bond Girl Material.
And whoever said it was right - Plenty O'Toole would be the perfect name.

I...I don't get it. Is Craig himself gay?
Now, I'd be alright with a movie with a gay spy provided it was done like the movie "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" where the dude just is and it isn't the sole defining aspect of the character. But it's James Bond, the single character most defined by his hetero-ocity.

As far as being the least attractive Bond...I disagree. I think he's pretty damn good looking. But I still hold that this is just a very bad idea.
But yeah...a gay spy movie in general would be very good, if it were treated as if it were a normal thing, and not to focal point of the movie. I get very annoyed sometimes when being gay is made into a huge deal by whatever movie...if we want it to be thought of as normal, start treating it that way instead of as something special and different.

I think he is thinking that in order to be an effective spy he has to be able to work his mojo on more than just women. I think that it was suggested that Brad Pitt had done it in Mr and Mrs Smith.

On a serious note, has anybody ever read the Fleming book "The Spy Who Loved Me" ? Strange story, totally unlike any Bond story.

This is definitely how I was understanding the suggestion. Like Bond would take one for the team if that's what it took to get the secret info he needed, and he would be very convincing "under cover." But I still think it is a weird departure from the character though; Bond would arrange a tryst with a gay villain, and just before the first kiss would somehow get the info and then kill the guy with a gadget, then make a wisecrack. The fact that even the bi Crappers oppose this pretty much indicates how it will play in Peoria.l
