I say "SWEET GOOGILY MOOGILY YES!!!" to your assertion, FMF

Can't really comment about how attractive Daniel Craig is (uh...straight male in his early 20s here)...but Eva Green? Oh yes...we have obsession-worthy beauty and skill here! I read Casino Royale a while ago and Vesper Lynd was kind of the only part I really hated besides the troubling lack of comprehension over the rules of chemin de fer baccarat. But Ms. Green totally makes the character work in so many ways

The entire film was freakin' brilliant work (I like to think it was combo of Craig and Canuck cinema genius Paul Haggis, who polished up the script quite nicely) and it's honestly a film I would bankrupt myself to watch repeatedly. Only part I really had issue over was the continuation of the tradition where every Aston Martin Bond has ever used gets damanged or destroyed:
1) DB5: crashed into a wall;
2) '68 DBS: shot up during a drive-by;
3) V8 Vantage/Volante: blown up by time-delayed self-destruct;
4) '02 Vanquish: treated like a fugging speed bag during the Ice Palace fight;
5) '06 DBS: Guinness World Record-setting crash for most flips done in one go

Hey, anyone else think that whoever wrote the torture scene might just be a fan of War Stories?

Still cracking up over the blog.
Guess I'd better wait and see this on DVD
so don't have to be scraped out of theatre
by EMTs with O2 tank and stretcher.

BTW, sab39, if the torture scene you refer to
is the one with the seatless chair, that's from
the original book, written long before War Stories.

Was it as funny in the book? That was what reminded me of War Stories - cracking up with laughter while the characters are in agony...

sab39, you might look for the book in Library
or book store and try for yourself. I've not
read it in years but didn't laugh at the time
-- maybe I was too young to get the full flavor??

When I read that the movie would have "that
scene" (in italics) in it I was surprised.
As were other people I know who are familiar
with the book.

(P. S. Lurve your strawberry!)

Trust me when I say Purvis, Wade and Haggis managed to punch up the torture scene so that one could find it somewhat humourous. Mainly because the original version in the novel had Bond nekkid, strapped to a chair with a hole in the seat and his nads assaulted with an electric carpet beater....

Also, I will assume you're not a man...since any guy (straight, gay, bi, queer, etc.) would find the whole moment cringe-inducing, not laughable

P.S. If you are a guy...well, guess I am a right fool
