‘Get Rid of Her’: Why Jeff Bezos Ousted James Bond Producer
FROM AMAZON WITH LOVE
The Amazon CEO was reportedly determined to get Barbara Broccoli out of the picture, “no matter how much it costs.”
The Red Hand of Bond
Posted on September 5, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
James Bond Fans have gone over every Bong Thing with a fine-tooth comb, and, can not answer the riddle of the Red Hand of Ulster being in the Bond cote of arms.
“Get rid of her!”
These words are applicable to Victoria Rosemond Bond, who is kidnapped by an ancient Catholic order that ministered to the last Roman Patrician of London who held out against the Picts, who dyed their skin blue with a pigment made from eels. There were great battles over these eels. Dried eels fed Roman legions. Solders would pop a crispy eel in their mouth – while in the middle of a battle for instant energy. The Thames was teeming with blue eels. Then, they began to disappear! For .sixteen hundred years the catch of eels has been sparce. Chinese agents came to London to in search of the greatest aphrodisiac known to man. Saint Patrick was an agent for the Doges of Venice. He was not about getting rid of snakes, but, funding eels to plant in unknown rivers to see if they can be brought back,
This brings us to the alleged search of the Vice President for his Scot-Irish roots in Kentucky – which cause him to convert to Catholicism! Is it possible the rivers of Ukraine are teeming with the Lost Eels of London? Consider the Tariff War with Canada. Have the Canadians brought back The Ming Eel and are breeding them with the common eel, common meaning, they will not sustain an erection for four hours. This is why ancient men…..had harems!
I can’t think of a more virile and manly quest for James Bond to undertake! However, women also dirived great pleasure from the Rex Anguilla.

The battle was a major encounter in James’s attempt to regain the thrones of England and Scotland, resulting from the Invitation to William and William’s wife, Mary, from the ‘immortal seven’ English peers to take the throne to defend Protestantism. But the conflict had broader and deeper European geopolitical roots, of the League of Augsburg and the Grand Alliance against the expansionist ambitions of Catholic Louis XIV of France, or of the House of Bourbon against the House of Habsburg.[1][2][3][4][5] If the battle is seen as part of the War of the Grand Alliance, Pope Alexander VIII was an ally of William and a friend to James; the Papal States were part of the Grand Alliance with a shared hostility to the Catholic Louis XIV of France, who at the time was attempting to establish dominance in Europe and to whom James was an ally.[6]

“No,” he wrote in response, “because f— Jeff Bezos.”
The Anguillidae are a family of ray-finned fish that contains the freshwater eels. All the extant species and six subspecies in this family are in the genus Anguilla, and are elongated fish of snake-like bodies, with long dorsal, caudal and anal fins forming a continuous fringe. They are catadromous, spending their adult lives in freshwater, but migrating to the ocean to spawn.
Eels are an important food fish and some species are now farm-raised, but not bred in captivity. Many populations in the wild are now threatened, and Seafood Watch recommend consumers avoid eating anguillid eels.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was determined to get rid of 007 producer Barbara Broccoli, even telling his staff he wanted her gone, “no matter how much it costs,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Amazon acquired the James Bondfranchise for close to a billion dollars, and though Broccoli inherited it from her father Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, along with her half-brother Michael G. Wilson, who collectively have been called “the heart of and soul of the franchise,” Bezos wasn’t willing to let go of some mean things she’d allegedly said about his staff—and in his own newspaper.

Broccoli was quoted by “friends” who told WSJ she’d called Amazon executives “f—ing idiots” in the Wall Street Journal in December, and THR reports that was the last straw for the billionaire, who told his underlings, “I don’t care what it costs, get rid of her.”
The Daily Beast has reached out to Bezos, Broccoli, and her production company EON for comment.
The Amazon CEO was clearly not at all sentimental about the half-siblings’ shepherding of the Bond IP, though Broccoli and Wilson took over and closely ushered it back to success after their father’s death in 1996. Fans, crew members, and stars credit the siblings for 007’s reemergence as a box office juggernaut, particularly since reinvigorating the character by casting Daniel Craig as the seventh Bond.
As such, the siblings’ sale to Amazon shocked Hollywood and its fans, many of whom wrote off any chance of more quality Bond films after news of the shake up. Broccoli remained in the mix at Amazon, but her half-brother Wilson retired—leaving her “on her own,” THR reports, in a sea of executives whom she’d called “idiots.”
Amazon’s vision for 007 is also markedly different from the one the Broccoli and Wilson had held for decades, which spurned prequels and TV spinoffs and eschewed the Marvel-esque universe Amazon hoped to create with the characters.

With Broccoli out of the way, Amazon is free to do what it will, which already seems to be repelling top Hollywood talent from ever engaging with the franchise. Oscar-winning Conclave director Edward Berger told Varietythat he was “100 percent” interested in directing for the franchise—until it was sold to Amazon. “Barbara Broccoli is no longer doing it and she is at the heart of this project, so I think it’s something different,” he said.
Osgood Perkins, the box office-topping director behind Longlegs and The Monkey, was less polite about any potential Bond-directing in his future during a recent Reddit Q&A. One user asked Perkins, “Are you open to directing a Bond movie/trilogy? If so, who would you cast as your version of Bond?”
“No,” he wrote in response, “because f— Jeff Bezos.”
