Why Rush might not have seen the new Bond flicks.

QUOTE
'James Bond is a total concept put together by Ian Fleming. He was white and Scottish. Period. That is who James Bond is, was,' said Limbaugh as he began his diatribe.

Uh, no.

QUOTE
It was not until the penultimate novel, You Only Live Twice, that Fleming gave Bond a sense of family background, using a fictional obituary, purportedly from The Times.  The book was the first to be written after the release of Dr. No in cinemas and Sean Connery's depiction of Bond affected Fleming's interpretation of the character.

He was written as Scottish after Connery popularized him.  Try again, Rush.

QUOTE
He then took it a step further by saying the idea of casting Elba as Bond, a fictional storybook spy created by author Ian Fleming, was as ridiculous as a white actor playing a black historical figure.


Rush Limbaugh, troll extraordinaire.

Theme song.  Oh, one last thing...

the closest Bond predecessor for this unapologetic wimpiness might be to A-ha’s Morten Harket, whose contribution most fans have tried to forget...

... fuck you, "The Living Daylights" was the highlight of an otherwise complete crap film staring Timothy Dalton, the man who did for James Bond what George Clooney did for Batman.

It was ok.  I can't really think of anything to criticize... but there isn't a lot to praise, either.

I may be mistaken but I think the opening is a single, several minute take.
