And the search results go mad, but really, the whole whips and ropes and chains thing, that's not what I'm talking about. I just happened to run across something ... oldish but interesting. Serendipity and the world wide web...

CRAIG WANTS GAY BOND SCENE (contactmusic.com, 2006/11/29):
...Somehow, kind of not seeing Bond production company Danjaq heading that way with the franchise. Not all the way, anyway. Though they might try the frontal nudity. That said, it's well known that penises trigger an almost reflexive R rating from the MPAA, and I don't think they want to go there; it would technically lock out too many teenaged theatergoers. (Do teenagers watch Bond? At all?) If the MPAA said, "EEEK! A penis! R - R - R! Unless you make it go away!" then they would make it go away. (So to speak, of course.) And anything gay, headed anywhere even vaguely sexual, would also trigger a reflexive R. Danjaq may even be required to bring in the next film with nothing harder than a PG-13 rating. That said, it's entirely possible that Danjaq might make one print for the US and Japan (no pubic hair on screen!) and another for the rest of the world, as long as it didn't make a huge difference to the plot. (Of course, if it doesn't make a difference to the plot, then what's the point?) And they'd probably throw in an extra 20 Bond girls just to shore up his heterosexuality. Then in the Extra Special Kinky International Director's Cut on DVD, we could at last see the full unrated glory of it all.
Honestly, I can see Bond being prepared to Do What It Takes -- as long as he could be on top. Doing What It Takes would likely not extend to surrendering the pink. Bond has had sex with women for purely mercenary reasons; it wouldn't surprise me if he had sex with men for the same reason. I can't imagine him being attracted to a man, quite, but something more in the lines of "close your eyes and think of England, and fake enthusiasm really really well." (And there's the added advantage that it could possibly make Ian Fleming, rampant racist and homophobe, roll in his grave at quite a high speed. Maybe Bond could do it with a nonwhite man, for added rotational speed.)
Heh. Maybe he'll wind up accidentally doing it with Vesper's old boyfriend, or they'll try to seduce each other for information in a way that backfires spectacularly. Goran Visjnic and Daniel Craig ...
...Huh. Considering what they did in the last Bond movie, maybe I am talking about that, after all.

CRAIG WANTS GAY BOND SCENE (contactmusic.com, 2006/11/29):
Daniel Craig is urging movie bosses to revolutionize the James Bond franchise by including a gay scene involving the superspy in the follow-up to Casino Royale. The heart-throb actor has also reportedly told studio chiefs he is prepared to film a full frontal nude scene to please both his male and female admirers. He says, "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it. I mean, look at (British TV series) Doctor Who - that has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye."
