It was bound to happen. A polical correct James Bond.
He doesn't smoke. One explosion. Don't forget the message to the kids .
Don't try this at home.
And while EON is trying to save our kids and send a message. They might
eliminate the high speed chases
and replace the Aston Marton with Hybrid electric car, it doesn't go over 30
miles an hour.
Instead of a vodka martini milk with a splash of chocolate stirred not
shaken.
Oh yes. The fights send that message EON. The now chat and the bad guys
understand that it is wrong and turns
over a new lease on life.
Maybe the Bond girls should be covered up. Bond shakes hands.
We go to see the Bond movies to forget our troubles. Fleming wrote these
for enjoyment. Whether its seeing Pierce Bronsan smoking a cigar . Sean
Connery asking for a Vodka Martini shaken not stirred. Bond staring at a
girl and making comment on the view and she answering , yes it is.
Stop the save the kids. Its the parents job. Not you film makers. If your
films are not suitable for my young grandson its up to me not to take them.
But let me enjoy James Bond. Maybe change the last name from Bond to Fond.
Bond is too much like in bondage.

Oh, do come along, Jones!
Bond hasn't smoked for years. When Brosnan took the role of Bond,
smoking was stamped out; he said that at his press conference.
The cigar (not a cigarette) in DIE ANOTHER DAY was a half-hearted
nod to "filthy habits" of the past and a location check (Cuba). Kids
are unlikely to take up the Havana habit.
The single explosion thing is nothing to do with political correctness,
where did you get that from? It's an attempt from the film-makers to
come up with more inventive action sequences that don't rely on
tiresome pyrotechnics.

Yep.
And ISTR there's only one explosion in Dr No, only really one in Goldfinger
(and that's in the precredit)...
It doesn't mean they can't have car chases, fist-fights, martial arts, John
Woo type balletic shootouts, swordfights, etc... as they please!
I suspect the reason for the "one explosion" thing is because they want it
to have the same dramatic punch as the one in the book - which it wouldn't
if it was just number 37 out of 114 or whatever... Context is everything.

Like the latest Bond movies, your posting is the epitome of going "over the
top."

AFAIK, hybrid cars go at the same speed as any other cars.

You're kidding, right? Other than a single cigar, he hasn't smoked since
the end of the 80s.

Precisely. Although I would rather they cut back on the gunplay
as well. There are just so many action possibilities that preclude
the use of TNT and it's my hope the sequences they have are
on a par with some of the great stuff from the past, e.g, Bond
ascension (and dramatic fall) from St. Cyril's or fight whilst
hanging from the rear of a cargo plane, etc. Real stunts from
real stuntmen.
I seem to recall a lager-fuelled evening during which Doug Redinus
mentioned he had suggested a foot chase. Kudos.

My $0.02: 'politically correct' is one of those phrases which used to
have a meaning, but is now just used as a generalised insult by some on
the political right, like the word 'fascist' is used indiscriminately
by some on the political left. When you run out of *real* arguments,
label your opponent 'politically correct' and hope it'll stick...
Best

(I gave up on the phrase when I heard somebody criticising a pub which
had run out of real ale by saying 'It's political correctness gone
mad!'.)
