Daniel Craig Calls Kardashians 'F*cking Idiots'

I dislike Tebow purely because he lead the Gators to success while I lived in Florida and I resented getting their success thrown in my face by the fair weather fans down there.

Nice guy. though. Needs to work on his accuracy, because running the option all the time will get him killed.

I don't follow college football at all, so the initial Tim Tebow wave of mania went past me unnoticed. I did hear of him and was vaguely aware that he was good and had won some awards, so when he was drafted into the NFL I asked some football friends why others were claiming that he'd never make it in the NFL when he had so much success in college (I love football, but I don't know all the technicalities of it, like position definitions and what plays are being run; I have a general knowledge). So, he got drafted and then nothing happened in the first year and that was that. Or so I thought.

But now that he's become a starter, I've become totally caught up in Tebow-mania. He's just such a naturally nice guy that it's hard to resist liking him. You want to root for him. I can say that having lived through the Michael Vick years here in Atlanta, where Arthur Blank and the Falcons gave him a contract worth over $100 million dollars at the time (not to mention the video game, sports drinks, and athletic apparel endorsement money he was earning), making him one of the top five best paid quarterbacks. And yet he blew the entire contract, fortune, reputation, and goodwill of his and an entire city on a two-bit, nickel-and-dime dog fighting ring :roll: Not to mention the "Ron Mexico" incident and the drug-sniffing dogs that detected marijuana on him at the airport (Atlanta was also the location of Baltimore Raven's defensive back Ray Lewis' arrest for murder).

Tebow's religious beliefs being worn under his eyes or on his uniform can be a bit much at times (I'm Christian, and I don't believe for one second Jesus cares who wins a football game, so when the players give him thanks it's basically an empty gesture), but on a scale of grievances that I could lodge against a player it doesn't even rate, so I can overlook it.

Basically, I'm on a Tebow gravy train with biscuit wheels.

The Church Lady puts the Kardashians in their place:

"(He has) crossed the line. It's not made him look like the world's nicest guy. The right thing for a real man to do now would be to issue a public apology. The easy thing would be to criticize his career now, but our family won't stoop to that level."

I don't think Kris needs to stoop to that level; she's already at that level and has been there for quite some time.

To hell with being "the world's nicest guy." If honesty is nasty, so be it.

That's society, I guess. I'm sympathetic to Craig's original comment, but not so much of him channling his inner George Carlin to do so. (And I like George Carlin. That was his act, etc.)

But, of course, the Khardashian den mother can't let it pass without getting even more publicity.

I find it amusing, though, that if you post an excerpt on some message boards from a Craig interview, it gets censored (I'm guessing that's part of the software, automatic censoring of swear words). So, if we want to celebrate Craig for his honesty it's funny or ironic or something that you can't post his comments unadulterated. Over at MI6, one of the message board moderators reminded users not to include the actual swear words when posting Craig quotes.

So yeah, good for Craig pointing out the obvious.

I agree.


It's hardly a controversial statement. Unless you are one of the people who feeds the tabloid machine, you are not likely to like or even enjoy acknowledging that family's existence.

If you are asking me if I prefer DC's Bond to anyone or anything connected to the Kardashians (or their ilk) than the answer is yes eleven times out of ten.

Personally, I'd prefer it if DC would learn to speak three words without dropping the F-bomb. If, as is often asserted, frequent cussing signifies a weak mind, then DC really has no right calling anybody, even the Kard-whatevers, idiots.

Apologize for what? Speaking the truth? Is she really that blind?

I read her words as: "How dare you accuse me of displaying my life on national television for money?! I demand a public apology!"

Yeah, a PUBLIC apology. Because GOD forbid you do anything in private.

And her daughter has already stooped further below with a sex tape. Honestly, when will idiots learn that recording your privacy is bound to be displayed for public? Is Kim really that much of a dolt to believe that a recorded sex tape is only used for privacy? Maybe, but I wouldn't put it pass them that they might have planned that way so they could get the publicity then sing the old victim tune for all the other dolts out there to fall for.

I would prefer that also. But if you say that on some message boards (CBn, MI6), you'll get shouted down as either hating Daniel Craig or having trouble telling fiction from reality ("He's not really James Bond!"

When he drops a half-dozen f-bombs in an interview, that strikes me as inarticulate. And when he says Bond titles mean nothing, that tells me he hasn't read the novels or watched all the movies as carefully as he claims.

He may be a fine actor. But I don't think any fan should take *anything* an actor says without many grains of salt, especially when they're publicizing a film.

Sounds to me like a very good reason not to bother with CBn and MI6 anymore.

:)

Still calling people effing idiots also says something about your own personality. So DC has the right to feel so but his choice of words still remains highly questionable. If he had stated that he disliked the reality-shows like the Kardasians, etc. because ...........bla bla bla.. He would have been a much better person. Now he is a pottymouth in my book. Miles away from the class that Sir Roger Moore is. A thug Bond he'll remain.

Ya know, Sean wasn't too different back in the day.

Surely he wasn't as dependent upon the F-bomb as Craig when it comes to making a simple point? If he was, that speaks poorly for Sean; it doesn't absolve DC.

Yes. I did. Are you having trouble reading?

You did not read the original article. You then commented on it. In doing so, it was painfully obvious that you had not read the article. I pointed this out. Hence, I called you out on it.

As for 'condensing a thousand forum posts into a single post', you've merely proved how good I am at what I do.

I interpreted it as more a case of you demonstrating how pointless you are. If you can summarise everything you have ever written on these forums into a single post, it kind of begs the question of why you bothered making the other thousand posts at all. I mean, couldn't you have just made that one post and then gone off and done something more constructive somewhere else?

I didn't understand any of that.

You didn't understand what I said or why she did it?

Both.

CBn isn't that bad if you know which parts to avoid. MI6 is horrible - you cannot disagree with someone without getting a warning from the moderators. DC007 is particularly guilty of this; the minute you disagree with him, he runs a thread off-topic by accusing you of trying to "ram your opinion down his throat", and he's got some pretty idiotic ideas. But he was always a wanker.

Have you ever seen Orson Welles's THE TRIAL? If not, watch it. Your pedantry is f*cking insane.

Uh, no he didn't. Where's the pro-imperialism, Rave/Oppers tit jokes, anti-EU sentiment, hate of the Grauniad, New Wave nostalgia, gearhead talk, love of Old Britain, Michael Mann, all things R. Crumb, Viz, links to Telegraph and Spectator articles and etc? Try again, son.

Someone could easily do the same with you. It'd have to involve F1, a sh*tload of caffeine, anything by Joss Whedon, Josh Homme, Top Gear, Andrew Bolt on a giant kebab, disturbing Russophilia (and those f*cking Matryoshka dolls), satellites, and needlessly convoluted plot synopses.

Dalton_Craig has just registered at BAB. Try not to stain the carpets.

Prisoner Monk! Ragging on Ambler? Some things just aren't done.

Bask in his wisdom. You will grow wise in the ways of the world.8)

Dude. You have Ambler on the forums. I'm pretty sure that nothing I say to DC (or vice versa) will come close to threatening anything ambler has ever said to anyone. The difference between BAB and MI6 is that (like I said) at MI6, you can't disagree with anyone in any way, shape or form, or else the moderators will get involved. Here, the moderators are a lot more tolerant (though I am in no mood for pushing the boundaries of that tolerance on a whim).

Well what's the point of a forum if one can't debate? :)

Can I change my vote to "No"? I suddenly love the Kardashians after Craig's outburst.

Fieldsman, your thoughts on Tamara Drewe please. Page 10 of "the last movie I watched thread"

They just don't want to upset anyone over at MI6. Largely because they know that cracking down on debate is a lesser evil than letting DC spin off his axis and make a series of violent outbursts until he gets his way (and ruins it for everyone else).

Except Ambler has a sense of humor. That's why everyone takes what he says with a grain of salt. Except for Rave.

I'll say this: the problem goes back much further than the loss of the old forums and switch to the lame Vanilla package in March, or the "community" becoming just one big billboard for their magazine (that none of us here even bought), with a user base joining through their Facebook page, creating the most trivial, braindead threads imaginable (or as blueblood put it: "Just people talking about Bond the way my ex talked about nail polish.")
It goes back to 2008-09, where James Page started to slowly crack down on humour, individuality and adult-orientated posts, all to make MI6 more "family friendly." The "00 status" bollocks became part of that in the end - divide and conquer. The worst bit was seeing decent blokes like Dublo, Dimi and Smythe undergo the Stepford treatment when they became mods.
Now all you got there are a bunch of apparatchiks censuring every other post, a 12 year old groupthink, a Daniel Craig Stasi, and fruitcakes like DC007 parroting some warped echo of my views on Bond.

This is your average post there:

I don't know why there are people that hate Daniel Craig (Not necessary on this forum. I mean at a worldwide scale). He makes a great job as 007, and for me, after
Brosnan and Connery he's the best Bond i've ever seen.
I hate ppl who hate him, he's not the worst Bond ever as some of them says, and these ppl hate him just because he is "new" to the Holywood scene and they had never heard of him before.
Craig's a great guy, a great actor, the people shouldn't blame him for the director's mistakes. If there's someone to be blamed on, is not him, which does a Very Great job as Bond, but Barbara or Michael G. Wilson, whose produces Bond movies.
Look at his great job at CR and QoS. Both are great movies, although you guys MAYBE think it's not a Bond movie, but any other action movie, anyway for me those are great Bond films. As i've heard, CR was the one to hit the highest grossing on the Bond series, they should be proud of it, not hating on him.
These people should know what they are talking about, because the fault is not of Daniel. He's the ACTOR, he's being payed to act as James Bond in cinema screens. If there's something wrong, blame on Barbara!

If MI6 is an online daycare center, then this is a pub. We created this establishment in an attempt to bring back those glory days of Keeping The British End Up, but to be honest, I think we've surpassed it. No censuring, no humourless staff, no walking on eggshells, no copyright BS, an old school but classy layout, easier on the eyes, and a more diverse userbase.

Long Live Bond & Beyond.
