I’d watch the ever loving fuck out of this.
It’s a 2-hour long dialogue between Bond (played by Wallace Shawn) and a villainous billionaire media mogul Fryston Gallibre (played by Peter Capaldi) who is trying to collapse western democracy through ever more bland homogenized remakes of beloved franchises.
In the end, Fryston realizes that Bond has never seen any of these movies or shows and isn’t really a fanboy of anything so he is immune to this assault on culture. Bond actually leaves confused and when trying to explain the whole thing back at the office he stops mid-sentence and asks the widowed Mrs. Money Penny (Judi Dench) If she’d like to go see a movie together, “apparently they’re quite popular!”
My Dinner with Bond.
Buddy.you dream too much… Keep at it!
Can’t wait for those action figures.
I was gonna say same. Give him all kinds of crazy gadgets but make him super serious.
“But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the martini in front of me.”
Jaymth Bond!
You know this is an Onion article because the real frontrunner for the role of James Bond is going to be, like every other role, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.

Maybe they just ain’t your thing but Casino Royale is really fucking good
Is Margot Robbie in it?
No but it has Eva green…
So was From Russia With Love. You can skip the rest, though.
The people have spoken, so give the people what they want.
You know at first I thought this account was a joke, but it’s been months and it’s still going on. Honestly I’m convinced
it’s really her !
See, I was gonna say Chris Pratt. He seems to be everywhere recently…
It’s-a me, James Bond.
It’s-a Bond. James-a Bond.
Seriously though, there’s a potentially great reboot opportunity there…
It would have to be very intelligently written to avoid the “reboot with women protagonist” clichés/pitfalls, the fact that 007 is a woman would have to strike just the right tone… misogyny would probably need to be faced with a good dose of “ok boomer” smirking, it would absolutely have to pass the Bechdel test…
But yea, that would be the first James Bond I’d go see in 2 decades, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.
Margopratt Reynolds.
Lose the Pratt and I’m in
And, if the villain were played by esteemed character actress Margot Martindale…
It’ll never happen, because they’d just have to pack up the Academy of Motion Pictures and go home, because it’d be all downhill after that film.

You Fell Victim to One of the Classic Blunders
Inconceivable!

Rule of Acquisition 300: If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
Inconceivable!
After seeing his performance in My Dinner with Andre (1981), casting director Janet Hirshenson was so fond of his delivery of the word “inconceivable” that she cast him as Vizzini in The Princess Bride (1987).
dude got the job because of that line. no wonder its iconic
That movie is also why she cast André the Giant as his sidekick after falling victim to one of the classic blunders.

inconceivable!
Inconvenience
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Inconsolable?
A quantum of inconsolable!
The ultimate spy is the one you’d never expect.
No one would expect a person who announces their full name everywhere they go to be a spy!
So I clearly can’t choose the wine in front of me!
However, iocaine, like esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and fugitive from the law Margot Robbie, comes from Australia. As everyone knows, Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So, I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
007: The Spy You Didn’t Expect
007 The Inconceivable Agent
I could see him playing Q
I’ve been looking at too many Trek memes, because my mind immediately pictured the wrong Q character.
But also yes.
Who says they aren’t the same character?
I thought the same, but he would actually be great in both roles
wait, what other Q is there? I feel like he’d be excellent at playing the Q who ducks with Picard
Sounds like you haven’t seen Tomorrow Never Dies. There’s a hilarious scene between Pierce Brosnan and Desmond Llewelyn about a remote control car…
Well there’s Star Trek Q, and then there’s the Q that gives James Bond gadgets that are so unbelievable that could very well have been made by a Q-continuum being who’s impersonating an old British man…
Yes please!
c/nottheonion, surely?
Maybe they’re testing the waters as a joke first.
…unless?
If it were a couple decades ago I would’ve believed it, but Wallace Shawn is literally 80 years old.
Oh, and we could have an X-men crossover with Danny DiVito as Wolverine.
