On Zir Majesty's Secret Service: Producer of James Bond Franchise Says The Next Bond Might Be "Non-Binary"

Headline joke from radar in the comments.

James Bond will return... for bottom surgery.

Barbara Broccoli confirmed the next 007 won't be a woman, but the character could identify as non-binary during Friday's episode of the "Girls on Film" podcast. Non-binary is defined as someone who doesn't identify as being male or female, usually choosing to go by "they" or "them" pronouns.

"I do, because I don't think that we should be making films where women are playing men," Broccoli replied.

"I think we should be making more films about women," she further explained. "I think Bond will be a man."

"Non-binary, perhaps, maybe one day?" host Anna Smith asked.

"Who knows?" Broccoli replied. "I mean, I think it's open. We just have to find the right actor."

Honestly, it sounds like she's offering "maybe... possibly... one day..." to an activist "journalist" who won't take "No, Bond is a man" as an answer, but why hedge?

Why not just say "No"?

Barbara Broccoli used to answer this question clearly when she'd be asked "When oh when will James Bond finally be a woman?" As if... as if it's some rule that male characters must be made into women.

She would say "Never, James Bond is a man."

And now... well, maybe he'll be non-binary.

The Bond franchise has been getting more and more woke with every movie. I've been seeing them later and later. The last one I saw in theaters was Skyfall. I paid for Specter on video on demand; I will wait until this last one is included in something I already pay for (like Amazon prime) before seeing it, if at all.

I just don't care. This isn't James Bond.

This is Commander Gayballs. Codename Double-Ohhhh Myyyy.

I'm done with Bond. They've lost me, so they might as well pander to their #Woke audience of non-binary people and women who totally are into the male fantasy of being a kickass secret agent who seduces women and kills people without consequence.

I mean, there's so, so many such people. Every girl I've ever dated was always begging me, "Oh please oh please, let's watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service again!"

Everything woke turns to shit, as a wise non-Latino once observed.

Speaking of everything woke turning to shit: Steven Spielberg's unnecessary remake of West Side Story has bombed with a $10 million opening, below the quite modest projections of a $12-17 million opening.

Is it #Woke? Well... it's so #Woke that Spielberg decided to not use any English subtitles for all the Spanish spoken in the film, because the English subtitles would...

colonize...

the spoken Spanish.

Now that's #Woke, baby.

Oh, I mean: that's WokeX.

Spielberg's racial patronizing was so pathetic, he decided to punish and exclude anyone who's not bilingual by not including subtitles in scenes where everyone speaks Spanish.

"If I subtitled the Spanish I'd simply be doubling down on the English and giving English the power over the Spanish," the virtue-signaling Spielberg squeaked from his gerbil cage.

What does that even mean?!?!

I'll tell you what it means... It means his West Side Story remake is more homework than entertaining.

So I guess this means non-Spanish-speakers just shouldn't go see the movie at all -- they won't be able to understand the story -- and I guess a lot of them are making that exact choice.

The producers of the movie want you to know it is full-on woke and overtly political.

I've never seen the original -- is it political? Is a major idea in the original that... the American dream is a lie? Or that "gringos" kill everything they touch?

Because that's a big point in this one.
