Story or not, so called entertainment or not, all the whole James Bond saga does is glorify sex out of wedlock, which is securlar and contrary to the gospel. Supposing all those Bond gals got pregnant? He’d be in a heck of a parternity suit!! But then, it’s no wonder the short lived cartoon show, James Bond Jr. came to be. Even so, the whole film saga must be banned. To the late Ian Fleming, Eon Productions and Danjaq, sorry, but that is just the way it is, from a Catholic’s POV anyway. And story or not, there ain’t such a thing as “just sex.” Besides, what if Bond and his gals wound up with–UGH–STDs? If we’d want entertainment we would’ve turned to say, The Greatest Story Ever Told. Word.
 
I dunno, James always struck me as the kind of guy who practiced birth control. After all, you don’t get a license to kill by being stupid, right? Laugh, it’s funny.

He does get hitched in one film; as does Felix - only to be abducted, and have a limb or two eaten by a shark.​

If we’re banning things, why not ban the three Tolkien films ? They are, after all, extremely violent. 🙂

Your just saying that because your 777 instead of 007
 
I never really liked these movies much, but my husband was a big fan while we were dating, so I’ve had to sit through a few of them. At least there were pretty cars to look at. The thing that really bothers me is that he watched them when he was a little kid!:eek: It’s just not my genre. I prefer the first two Austin Powers movies, which mock 007.
 
WHAT!!! I LOVE JAMES BOND - THEY’RE GREAT FILMS!!!

You can’t ban James Bond. He would just use his watch laser to gain access to your ventilation system, inching along until he could repel from the ceiling, spider like, and put a copy of “Goldeneye” in your DVD player.

Yes, Bond does get married in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Except, at the very end, while he is inspecting something on his car, some of Dr. No’s (?) henchmen shoot away with an AK-47, killing his wife. That sucked, because James Bond was all sad at the end. Instead of being in bed (not the greatest thing in the world, mind you) with another woman at the end, he’s holding his new wife’s dead body, sobbing, stating over and over again “We’ll be home soon, everything’s all right, darling…” Kinda got me emotional…

Sex out of wedlock? Prime time network TV and all the movies for the last 10 years has had a lot more of that than there is in the Bond movies! Heck, you can find that in the high school sex-ed classes. At least Bond has neat gadgets and cool cars. And everything blows up at the end.

Peace-bwu–I can’t believe you prefer Austin Powers to James Bond!
 
I love James Bond. Sean Connery ROcks!👍

As far as banning the film, why? I don’t want to use the word cartoonish to describe Bond, but his actions are so over the top that he is obviously a fantasy figure. I doubt that any man in the world is trying to emulate Bond. It is too obvious that you can’t. Bond drinks and never gets drunk, he has casual sex with multiple women without consequences, he fights and rarely bleeds, and he always has the right gadget for the job.

I would worry more about prime time tv where bad behavior is not made to seem cartoonish but is instead portrayed as normal.
 
Instead of banning something, why not just change the channel?

I saw snippets of a couple Bond films this weekend at my sister-in-law’s. Apparently AMC was having a Bond-fest of some sort.

They are so stupid that they would make wonderful candidates for Mystery Science Theater 3000. In fact, I had to get up and leave at least twice because I started making “Mike and the 'Bots”-type comments about some of the more obvious absurdities on the screen, and was getting dirty looks from my wife’s cousins.

They’re okay, I guess, just as long as you don’t expect them to be anything more intelligent than something along the lines of Laverne and Shirley.

Sorry, I guess I like funny more than, Bond… James Bond. I think I have seen them all, my husband likes them. I don’t HATE them they are just not my cup of Earl Grey. I don’t think we need to ban him, though. That’s going a bit far. 🙂

I like Austin Power’s brilliant teeth.
 
I would suggest to people who wanna censor everything that is the least bit immoral or lacking in Christian thought to maybe drop out of society cause its obvious you cant deal with “the world”… and thats fine… if ya cant, there are religious societies for you…please enter into one of them and leave the rest of us alone to make CHOICES of what to watch, to read , etc…theocracies dont and never will work unless Jesus himself and NOT his human representatives are running it. CHOICE…whether its what religion to follow, what movie to see, what book to read is a WONDERFUL THING.

No, you’re missing the point. All the sex and international intrigue and stuff is incidental and can be removed from the movies without making any difference whatsoever. The real point of the James Bond saga is Q’s gadgets.

That’s why the series has had several different actors play Bond and several different actresses play Miss Moneypenny, etc., but only one actor, Desmond Lleweyn, played Q until shortly before he died. And now, just in case anyone is interested in taking the losing end of a sucker bet, I predict John Cleese will continue to play Q opposite the next half-dozen actors who will play Bond, God willing he lives long enough.

Right. There’s only one problem with that- James Bond Jr. was 007’s NEPHEW. Why he was named Jr. I’ll never know.
