hmm what would upset these people about elba? hes got the accent, suaveness, and charisma to be a really good bond. what issue with him specifically could people have?

He's also a House music producer, DJ, and can rap in a bunch of different styles, and has been DJing and releasing music for a long time:

He tried an amateur kickboxing match, too:

Despite having talents across multiple entertainment sectors, there hasn't been much/any? negative press about him. I think the obvious answer is that Jorp is just jealous Edris can rap like a Jamaican.

The only real problem with Idris is that he's almost 50 and would be starting our around the age some other Bonds retire.

Otherwise he's a great choice.

This was what I said to my nephew when he asked me about Elba being Bond, and even saying that made me feel like I was Jorp-ilk adjacent and I didn't like that. But the more I think on it, I would love to see Elba's take on the character.

I remember when Brosnan was cast, he said early 40s was perfect for Bond - young enough to be athletic, experienced enough to know some poo poo. Hell, Roger Moore was in his early 50s when he thought of bowing out after For Your Eyes Only, but went on to make two more.

But, really, 007 is a silly franchise, let Elba have a go. Pump out three movies in three years so we can have a complete count of times each actor was in an official Bond movie (Never Say Never Again don't count!):

Lazenby, 1
Dalton, 2
???, 3
Brosnan, 4
Craig, 5
Connery, 6
Moore, 7

gently caress me there's been a lot of Bond movies.

James Bond's Intelligence Service - Stops terrorism because it's evil, kills creepy weirdos to protect civilians, personally uses cool gadgets to hack into the mainframe and extract evidence of hidden war crimes

Actual UK Intelligence Services - lets terrorism happen to increase their budget and powers, kills civilians to protect nonces, pays private Israeli contractor to hack journalist's iphones to intimidate or blackmail them into silence after they report on war crimes

I'm not exactly fashionable, but I can say that any time you wear shades that are slightly too small for your head, they make your head look like an inflating balloon bound by a pair of strap shades.

More importantly, he doesn't appear to be wearing a belt or suspenders. I bet he actually does have slippers on, too.

one of the weirder entries on jorp's resume is that apparently he did some poo poo for some guy who worked at the UN on the subject of climate change. he bragged about allegedly reading "two hundred" books on the subject, but never had any formal education. he has a B.A. in poli sci, and his graduate degrees in psychology. why would anyone enlist this nitwit to help them research climate change?

You see, the thing I don't like about climate change is that I have defined it as something that's obviously ridiculous. My definition has no bearing on reality, or climate change, but heh what's the deal with these liberals not knowing literally everything. Oh what the numbers on the graph are going up historically? I don't give a poo poo, you don't know EVERYTHING yet you CLAIM to!

Who's he even talking to? Who's he arguing with? Even Joe Rogaine is like what the gently caress are you talking about (politely)

My ecology professors woulda eaten him for fuckin’ lunch with lovely points like that

It always tickles me how these old fucks will never have a discussion with someone fully prepared to argue with them. I got dragged to a chemist focused discussion dinner party once and one guy tried to argue that the reason we can feed people in these global amounts is because co2 has increased, and I tried to argue that was basically entirely down to crop scientists and specifically Norman borlaug’s work on breeding better crops, but couldn’t remember Norman’s name at a critical moment. :negative:

It allowed the smug old fart to go “hm, well, I don’t know who you mean” and dismiss me. But I was also a 25 year old entry level chemistry tech. An ecologist with decades of field work would hit jorp’s specious argument with a truck.
