Or they were at least not spoofs of themselves like the later ones were. The reason hey keep making them is simple though. They have made 24 movies and every single one more than doubled its budget. If I can spend 250 million and get a 500 million return why would I not do that?
Oops. I accidentally got involved in a discussion on whether James Bond could ever be black.

Meh. I would just view it as "something new." There have been a ton of Bonds.

The real question is why a tired franchise is squeezed for every last penny.

Might as well ask why the sky is blue.

I completely disagree - but maybe I'm not a typical Bond fan, if a fan at all.

Problem is, as I hear it, Austin Powers kind of ruined "spy comedy" for anyone else

Never been a fan of changing the race of established characters.

Shrug. I have no problem with it- there have been plenty of men who played Bond. He's "British"
