"James Bond" Kisses Dude

...in an upcoming film in which he plays one of the two murderers documented in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.

Weren't two movies about these guys enough? Just because Truman Capote had a bit of a crush on a cold-blooded killer, we have to keep seeing movies about the very complex sociopath Perry Smith?

I don't see any reason why Daniel Craig can't play a gay character, but this certainly doesn't help establish his very weak James Bond cred any further.

BOND
You expect me to talk?

GOLDFINGER
No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to blow me.

BOND
Well why didn't you say so? Turn off this
silly laser machine and let's have some guy-fun.

GOLDFINGER
I didn't expect you to be so receptive. I
pretty much cobbled together this whole
atom-bomb-in-Fort-Knox scheme to make
you notice me.

BOND
I've had my eye on you since I heard you
had "The Midas Touch."

GOLDFINGER
Oh, my cheeks are burning!

Barbara Broccoli has just about achieved what was heretofore thought impossible-- killing James Bond.

After the last five or six movies, I won't be sad to see him go. And I watched just about every Bond every time TBS played all of them twice a year.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but A View To A Kill turns out to have been the best of the end-of-the-era Bonds.

The only thing that can save Bond now is a final box-office drubbing and the sale of the franchise who has some idea what the hell it's all about.
