Casino Royale is 10 years old


That's crazy; feels like only yesterday I saw it for the first time. Happy anniversary to a brilliant film.

reply

Verily I say unto thee...an anniversary marred by the fact that upon release the film had its most desired birthday present taken from it by HAPPY FEET. Namely the first place in the US Box office that week.

What a film Casino Royale is. Absolutely superb. Such a shame, that all the momentum was pretty much lost with the following films but hey ho.

reply

Verily I say unto thee..the momentum was well and truly lost with the odious QoS which diminishes CR by attempting to be an unwanted continuation of a story that we had thought was satisfactorily concluded in the first film.

reply

If someone burned the negatives for QoS and impounded and destroyed all digital copies of the film would you be satisfied since it would then no longer exist?

IT WOULD SURVIVE IN OUR HEARTS

Wow

There would still be this, so the legacy would live on, with subtitles perhaps: http://www.the007dossier.com/007dossier/image.axd?picture=%2F2016%2F04%2Fqos_vhs_korea_03.jpg

Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.

And I would still have my Viewmaster reels of QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
