Bastardization. Verb. To lower in condition or worth; debase.

Gemma Arterton, the next Bond girl, has hinted that she and Bond will wed in the next Bond flick, the horribly titled Quantum of Solace. Seriously? Bond married? What a complete bastardization of the Bond franchise -- James Bond doesn't get married (putting On Her Majesty's Service aside); he drinks and he sport fucks and he shoots bad guys. I just knew that when (fucking) Paul Haggis starting writing Bond screenplays that this is where we were heading. Damnit -- the extended, overlong, overplayed, dull-as-hell romance in Casino Royale was bad enough; now the guy is gonna get hitched? Jezum Crow.
