    Goldfinger finally got his wish, MGM is canceling the Bond franchise due to financial difficulties:

    Sorry, but the thread title made me think of only one thing:


    xkcd: Centrifugal Force

    You spin me right round, baby, right round, in a manner depriving me of an inertial reference frame. Baby.

    Honestly, I believe someone will buy the Bond within the next few years. I really think so!

    Yeah, I don't see the Bond franchise disappearing but really hope it doesn't get ruined like Reg71 says.

    In the books, James Bond was gay.

    I just might ride up on my white steed and buy them out. But Bond will get killed off. His luck has to run out sometime. I have an agent lying in waiting to take his place. Maxwell, agent 86 is eagerly waiting to take over. 99 has him well trained now. He no longer uses Vlecro shoes and can tie his laces without any help. The Chief is very proud of him. He is due for a promotion soon.

    Bond died in the early 70s with the departure of Sean Connery. Roger Moore dug the grave and Timothy Dalton jumped in it.

    I agree that Connery IS Bond but Craig was the only person to actually bring a new perspective to the character. Moore was too campy (and gay), Dalton was a complete lame azz, Broznen was ok but the plots sucked and Lazenbe (sp) was never really given the chance though Secret Service was a good movie.

    It's a sad day as i really think Craig could have carried Bond into a new era. It's funny; all the crazy situations Bond has escaped over the years and its financing that kills him!

    Good news, I heard that they will be continuing the bond franchise after all. Only catch is the equipment budget has been cut back and this is the latest James Bond vehicle:
