A Cavalcade Of ‘Bond’ Sexual Double-Entendres
2:28AM Seth | Quantum of Solace opens in the US tomorrow, and will likely draw out every stripe of James Bond fan. (Except the George Lazenby contingent, who all these years later still feel the On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and The Kentucky Fried Movie star was wrongly stripped of his double-o status.)

Admittedly, we hadn’t yet considered the “action-movie franchise” component of Obama’s social influence, but at least one critic opened the discussion online — and this only days after Beyoncé Knowles made a public appeal for the role of Wonder Woman in the long-delayed (and presumed dead) comic-book adaptation. And so begins America’s next essential civil rights debate: Have our blockbuster heroes moved beyond race? More »
