Female Bond-ing
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m super-psyched about the opening of the new Bond film, Casino Royale this weekend. I think Daniel Craig is an excellent choice for the role (did you see him in Munich?) and the extended trailer for the film looks great.
And yetÀ?óâÔÇÜ?¼?ªI always wish there could be a female Bond. Not like Bond’s actual sister or second cousin, but the female equivalent to Bond. While I would personally love to see a direct translation of the character (with womanizing powers fully intact), I’d be open to She-Bond being straight and man-izing too. Whatever it takes, right?
Here are some of my candidates for a new and improved Ms. Bond:
- Angelina Jolie: Duh
- Jada Pinkett-Smith: Like in Set it Off, but with better transportation
- Michelle Rodriguez: Like in Resident Evil, but without turning into a Zombie
- Lucy Lawless: Because I’ve missed her
- Jenny Shimizu: Because she’d look good in a tux
Am I forgetting anyone?
