James Bond series Writer Anthony
Horowitz (not to be confused with consumer advocate David Horowitz)
is trying to apologize for comments made about disliking the idea of
actor Idris Elba portraying James Bond. Much like trying to unfry an
egg or clean up a massive oil spill, it's not really happening. He
probably just wants Bond to remain white, although I am sure
audiences would love dashing Idris Elba as Bond.
This story brings up another related
topic.. how did Sean Connery ever get to play bond? He is WAYYY too
street to be the suave, sophisticated lady killer in a tuxedo /and
then quick change into a diving suit- storied hero. This scrappy kid
growing up in Edinburgh working as a milkman and then joining the
navy, getting tatoos when it was sort of a daring thing to do... well
how could he play Bond? OH YEAH, these are actors portraying
characters!! something that needs some reminding perhaps?????
And what about Elba's cool collected
and classy response to ill conceived comments? Totally and completely
in the style of 007 of course!
