I understand.

As I'm not so much looking for a place to pick-up a playmate, the personals are more for that, I'm ok with it.

Can you find more action over in the GLBT forum? I have not been there in a long time.

 

[Bredon]

*grin* Thanks for the understanding, Shankara I'm not looking for pick-ups here too (would be a bit complicated, I'm in continental europe).
I was just wondering about the lack of male subs in general...

That was the only good scene in that interminable film.

Um so. Casino Royale. CBT and naked interrogations - who said the post-Thanksgiving hollywood movie has to suck?

It may be worth seeing just to feast on Daniel Craig's pecs. Did you see those?

Hmm good!

Okay, finally got to go see the new James Bond movie last night.

It sucked.

I can accept that Bond is shown being crude somewhat because they are treating this as a "Bond Beginning" that Bond is not going to be the cool, sophisticated fellow we have been used to with Moore and Brosnan. But this Bond isn't just a bastard he's a fucking bastard who barely knows basic spycraft. Things such as how to properly tail a suspect.

He's supposed to be an experienced MI6 agent. You don't give double 0 status to a raw recruit. Then there is the death of the female lead. WHY????

She pushes herself away from Bond, who is trying to save her, after he kills off all the baddies. It makes no sense. Then 10 minutes later the movie ends. No resolution, no nothing. I felt ripped off and from the echoing silence in the theatre followed by the exit stampede so did everyone else.

Daniel Craig was the victim of a bad script. He might have been able to pull it off with a good script but Casino Royale for me is one of the lowest points in the franchise.

... I really need to see this movie. Sounds like it nailed the book as close to perfectly as possible in this post-Cold War world, which is something I've been waiting for in a Bond film since I first read a Bond Novel.

A note on the infamous double Zero, based on what I've been able to dig up in my reading, Flemings famous 00 status only means an agent has killed someone in cold blood during a mission, it's not some rank and there's no skill test. The only other thing the designation means is the Crown will not press charges against an agent who breaks English Law in the commission of their duties. It's not a "license to kill", per se, though that is part of the package deal.

As to Vesper, in the novel she killed herself for a very specific reason, and it scarred Bond emotionally for some time.

The resolution to the novel is:

James Bond will return in Live and Let Die.

(The films were horribly out of order from the novels, which occasionally screws with Bond's chracter development.)

I have just started to listen to the audio-book of Live and Let Die

Flemings writing is good stuff, if you like that sort of stuff - and I do.

I have found that this place is generally found to be hostile to male subs.

I also read all of the books back in the day, and found them all a very good read. They are much better than any of the movies, but I loved the movies because they were entertaining. And I was a lot younger then and was easier to entertain, lol.

In that case I am really interested to find out what you think of the movie once you do see it. I loathed it but it doesn't mean you might not enjoy it.

I pretty much agree.

As my sister in law opined "nothing fucking HAPPENS"

However, the lack of naked male interrogations in any media automatically garners a thumbs up here. Sad but true. You also have to bear in mind my exceptionally LOW expectations from a cineplex outing.

Hostility or just "it doesn't occur to us that you might exist?"
I get more of the latter in terms of generalizations.

Well I remember one or two male subs posting and then came the male subs are weak posts. It kinda put them off and they disappeared.

I have had several subs I know read this forum, and all of them to a man said "no way". A few others said they had no time, which was probably true as they are all very busy men.

So I am generalizing through the eyes of my own experience.

I am editing this to add:

I remember one time someone asked me why didn't I make one of my subs post here and my reply was basically this: " I never make a sub do anything that doesn directly serve Me or the relationship".

I can't see how making him post at Lit or anywhere else would serve our relationship in any way.

Just my opinion, and I didn't elaborate. I have elaborated a little later in the thread. This is just my opinion, others may have different opinions.

I don't want to discourage you. Keep on posting, different points of views are needed, lol.
