unironically how the frick could he have sex after this? his balls were frickings obliterated and he just jumps up from his wheelchair and fricks the fertility goddess
Nothing about the Bond movies is meant to be realistic you dildo
Movie torture, it's just pain and as long as you take it like a MAN you'll be fine
In the book he's stuck in bed for months and is even strapped to it so that he doesn't move during his sleep. He has to stay still but his balls heal eventually.
>In the book
There are James Bond books?
I'm hoping this is bait
s-sure
Just so you get the scoop yes there are bond books and they’re pretty great
Written by Ian Fleming, a British (shocker) writer who also wrote chitty chitty bang bang lmao
Bond was inspired by the people he met doing intelligence work during WW2 and becomes pretty heavily intermixed with his own experiences adventuring around the world, especially his time in the Caribbean
They’re enjoyable, mostly just genre fiction but a handful are definitely elevated and he writes tension expertly
Plus the old English sensibilities they’re laced with are incredibly charming, the way he talks about minorities is funny too
thx I was always there is just film series.
Nobody ever talks about James Bond books like in Harry Potter case for example.
Probably just a generational thing, every young adult has read HP but few enough people read now that the bond books aren’t that well known
But they’re amazing, he’s a far more dynamic and interesting character than the movies- way less scowling as he magically (and effortlessly) defeats a horde of bad guys and more investigating an operation and taking it down logically
Like in LILT, he shoots his way past god knows how many guards and then kills Mr big with a pressurized gas hose that turns him into a balloon… for some reason
In the book he just attaches a limpet mine to the bottom of their boat and times it for right after the next departure
Plus it’s 3rd person bond POV (like the Asoiaf books do) so you get a lot of interesting thoughts, particularly him reflecting on himself, women, and pain.
anon... I...
Some of the movies are not based on the books though, because they already adapted them all. I believe that all of the Brosnan movies are original stuff. Casino Royale was the only one that wasn't adapted. There was a parody of it though, which MGM eventually bought the rights.
>because they already adapted them all
Adapted is a generous term for many of them, moonraker for instance has nothing in common with the book aside from the villain’s name and the title itself
A handful of the short stories haven’t been touched in any way (Risico for instance) and the majority still take little more than the name, names for the villain and girls, and the barest threads of the plot
Connery’s are close but they add a lot of unnecessary convolutions, like the pilot in Thunderball being murdered and his face grafted onto another guy that steals the plane… rather than just the pilot steals the plane and is murdered
FRWL is probably the closest 1:1, Dr. no, thunderball, and CR are also close iirc with the changes mostly to side characters or framing. Moore (pbuh) basically throws out all the plots to do whatever sounds cool, live and let die is almost a parody of the book
I hope they go back and adapt more plots that got left out into their own work the way LTK did with LILD’s plot
It would be interesting if they went with faithful adaptations of the books. Considering that they are going to do it with Harry Potter, I believe there's an opportunity there. We don't hear about Bond stuff for some time now and No Time to Die was such a let down.
Apparently, Nolan proposed that but they said frick off. Now, they're just doing current day original stories with the guy from kick-ass playing Bond and already signed up but they're delaying it for reasons.
>they denied a faithful adaptation of the Bond books made by Nolan
What were they thinking?
Woke pozz mentality (60's sexist, racist blah blah) no product placement potential and them not being able to make gay social commentary. The franchise is run by a fricking woman.
Nolan is unironically too much of a pseud to do a bond movie
He’d make it an allegory or adaptation and end up with something utterly unwatchable, because he’s afraid to just do a classic action thriller.
They could adapt it for modern ages, keeping the story faithful, but yeah. It's not happening in the way things are now.
It's been nearly 3 FRICKING YEARS since the last one and they publicly stated they haven't even BEGAN planning what the next one is about. The prostitute running EON is intentionally sabotaging the franchise out of pure spite because nothing else she's produced gets any attention. Frick's sake.
You just know they'll do Moonraker again and have some Elon Musk parody as the villain for the next one.
Tbh I was most surprised they never did that but with drumpflstiltskin as the villain, especially since book drax has massive unruly red hair and boorish manners
Moonraker is my #1 hope for a better adaptation, rename the villain and call the missile the silver bullet or something and it’s all laid out. The whole scene at BLADES is some of Fleming’s best writing imho
I fail to see how this uplifts people of color, First Nations, lgbtqia+ and other marginalized groups.
Agreed. It'll never happen. You have Michael G. Wilson who wrote two of the best (and solo wrote THE best Bond movie LtK) being held hostage by his half sister who's the heir of the studio and he has to get her to agree for everything and she's an ultra pozzed feminist even worse than KK and way before her too. It's over for Bond, especially since this is the guy they want as BOND.
I thought the point of the scene was to explain how he could frick all those women and not get them pregnant: because his balls don't work anymore.
He was using a knot on the end of a rope to smack him in his balls. Go look up "CBT porn" and you'll learn that what he was doing was nothing compared to the kind of abuse that a sack can take
>casinos in real life
Very burgerpunk.
I was thinking more boomercore but there's a lot of overlap
Reminder boomers sold your country for scrap and destroyed your future so they can spend the last 17 years of their lives eating at Applebee's and doing this on the weekend.

>HELLOOOOOOOO
>the digital slot machines
Why don't these idiot boomers realize they are rigged to never let them win anything aside from maybe $20 that they will then just immediately put back into the machine?
>here is your PS5 game I was telling you about
Why do they push only one button at top speed without thinking? I've seen people play slot machines in Europe, and they push several buttons, and they think for a moment before deciding which button to push. Are slot machines different in America and Europe?
probably a tournament
What kind of tournament? What they are doing requires zero skill.
Unironically what are they doing? I thought slots were just push once -> wait for the rollers to stop (or some machines let you stop individual rollers with a button but you don't need to spam it).

I thought CR was great up until this and I will never watch it again.
This scene would have been way better if it was being done by a woman.
Bond movies are set in a fantasy world where casinos are stylish instead of seedy and filled with gambling addicts, where you drive a supercar and are not surrounded by loser nerds snapping pictures every time you park and where you ride a train in a suit and evening dress without being backpackers, alcoholics and screaming children stinking up the place.
You mean it's set in a world full of whites.
If you would have ever driven a Ferrari you'd know that it doesn't matter what the race, they all take photos of you like dorks. Trains in places in Europe like MonteBlack or wherever casino Royale was set are full of trash, gipsy and white. Casinos are full of trash people of all races, including whites, as well.
It matters and you're being dishonest.
The only similarity is the scene concept, nothing from the actual scene and it's gravitas is carried over you dishonest dork.
This. People back then liked it because it was a change of pace but then expected the usual Bond to come back but never did. Craig's era was a mistake. He should have been a one and done like Lazenby.
Frick you, poorgay. If you frequented higher level establishments you would realize that lower class whites are almost indistinguishable from well behaved Black folks in their behavior. Get a job.
casino royale is from 2006.
And? All of these things were as true in 2006 as they are today.
Everyone in Bond movies is upperclass and not trashy. Race doesn't matter. It's the non trashy segments of the every ethnicity/country.
Is Macau fancy? Do fancy casinos with rich people actually exist? Casinos must have separate rich areas off limits to us regular folk.
As an anon who has stayed at the Venetian and Riviera hotel in Macau, the hotels are indeed fancy, but the casinos are completely swamped with tourists even if they're not gambling. Macau is ok, but it has a lot and I mean a lot of mainland Chinese who travel there to gamble as it's illegal on the mainland.
Also lots of the Casinos/ Hotels have sanctioned Saunas which is a fancy word for a brothel.
Interesting. I doubt i'll ever be rich enough to go to places where rich people gamble/have fun. Even if i was, i doubt i would go a lot. Most really rich/wealthy people seem to have weird ego problems.
macau saunas are fricking incredible
Macau casinos are sleazy chinese moneylaundring. Very disappointing. Hotel was alright
>where you drive a supercar and are not surrounded by loser nerds snapping pictures every time you park
this is very true, my friend has flashy 6-figure plus car and I've been at gas stations with him and slack-jawed yokels approach and try and talk to you about the car. incredibly obnoxious
I haven't watched any of the Craig movies and I can't really remember much about the older Bonds, but weren't the casino scenes mostly set in Monte Carlo and other super luxurious areas? There's a huge fricking difference between Monte Carlo and seedy Las Vegas casinos. The former is filled with richgays dressed in tuxedos, and they keep the riffraff out (meaning middleclass by Monaco standards) by requiring a strict dress code in the afternoon
Untrue. Even in the swankiest places you have a contingent of well to do middle class turks, Asians and other mongrels betting their life savings. They have money to lose so the casino let's them in, if you dont wear a jacket and tie they give them to you.
Even in the swankiest of places you will see at least 2 guys looking like they have a kiosk or 2 taxis or some other loser business like that, betting their last cash on roulette with a hijab covered b***h crying next to them.
I've only been to the Monte Carlo casino during F1 weekend so it might have been a special occasion then, but it definitely was not as you describe it. They did everything in their power to keep out the people who weren't noticably rich and make room for the people arriving in ferraris and lamborghinis. The guy in front of me who wore a suit was denied entry because his shoes were white
Also, I'm talking about the evening. During the day they'd let all the regular tourists in to gamble and look at the F1 cars they had in there. But during the evening, the super rich were prioritized
Monte Carlo and on that weekend especially may be a special case I admit. They have enough millionaires around to afford to be picky.
And from my memory, which may be wrong, Bond mostly hung out in Monaco and other luxurious places that knew how to keep the riffraff out. Even moreso before airfare and internet bookings made those areas easily available to every mouthbreather on the planet
Still, that would just mean there'd be even more dorks with cameras outside of the casino snapping fotos of his car as he arrives, parents sending their kid to ask if he can sit in the drivers chair just once, newly rich 20 year Olds showing their lambos off and other gauche distractions you'd never see in a bond movie.
I find that hard to believe because a casino wouldn't survive without degenerate gamblers. Having just rich people wouldn't be enough to make profits.
Monaco is very very rich. 50 percent of its inhabitants are millionaires and above. There are surely enough super rich degenerate gamblers there on F1 weekend so they don't need to let in the run of the mill degenerate gamblers.
>The citizens of Monaco are forbidden to enter the gaming rooms of the casino. The rule banning all Monegasques from gambling or working at the casino was an initiative of Princess Caroline, the de facto regent of Monaco, who amended the rules on moral grounds. The idea that the casino was intended only for foreigners was even emphasized in the name of the company that was formed to operate the gambling business, the Société des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Etrangers (English: Company of Sea Baths and of the Circle of Foreigners).[2]
most people living in Monaco are foreigners
average net worth for people living in monaco is like $2 million and thats just the people who live there. it's the #1 place to travel for the ultra wealthy in europe when they want to rub shoulders with other ultra wealthy. they don't need peasant money, lmao
Monte Carlo is where billionaires go when they want to blow 7 figures in one night. The casino would rather keep the poorgays out so that their exclusive reputation remains intact
The biggest thing is it makes out that the UK is somewhat relevant in the modern day. Sure, it kinda still was in Casino Royale like 20 years ago, but in No Time to Die the UK has a stand-off with the fricking USA and Russia lol.
They are British superhero movies, what did you expect? God save the queen!
Tarantino had the right idea - make them period pieces set in the 50s. They had been afraid of it since the early nineties and even paid lip service to it in goldeneye - the whole idea of Bond is really finally irrelevant in today's day and age.
Verification not required
The UK is still an Intelligence Superpower which is what Bond is supposed to be, a spy for MI6 the foreign arm of British Intelligence, (whereas MI5 is the domestic).
The problem with setting it as a period piece, because Bond is a spy because he's working for the British, politics and themes of politics will be inevitable and the fact of the matter, World war 2 and the Cold War simply aren't interesting to Millennials, Zoomers or Gen Alpha.
We've had Russians as the antagonist by proxy for decades it gets incredibly boring, and the real threats that he should be facing will never be put on screen because the writers and film makers are pussies that Bond facing and trying to stop plots of Islamic Terrorism.
>scene is straight out of the novel
>filters Bond fans
every fricking time.
It was a carpetbeater in the book thoughalbeitever.
>It's based on a scene from the novel therefore it's good!
not how it works
The novels were weird.
It's why the books MOG the movies so hard. Not even Connery got CLOSE to how based 007 is.
>muh racism
These people should be murdered brutally.
The novels are fantastic. He is such a Chad. At one point he muses on the reason gay people can't whistle while he waits for his target to arrive.
I NEED to fricking read these books. I've seen nearly every Bond movie barring anything after GoldenEye and somehow I've never read the originals.

Once you read the books, the movies just don't cut it. Nothing else does, it's pure unfiltered Cinemaphile anon in 1950s writing out his fantasies of being the most stoic literally me character, fricking hot women and going on adventures. It's pure entertainment, inspired me to start writing too as a form of wish fullfillment.
For people who are true KINO patricians, read the books. No movie can do them justice.

Wow thanks anon
For me it was the recent shitshow over the newest Bond books where he's a Lib Dem FBPE wet
I saw that. I hope whoever wrote it is raped and murdered.
It's when the author started seething and being b***hy over simple extracts being posted with no disparaging remarks or comments. Unfortunately everyone is a cowardly b***h and they were subsequently deleted
i will now watch your movies

I live in a nothing town in the midlands of England. There's some wealthy villages surrounding it but nothing extravagant (a couple of dozen homes topping out at £1m). Otherwise its a poor town.
Our casino is filled with Asians. There are no other Asians anywhere. They drop £200 stacksof chips on multiple numbers on a roulette spin. The casino is so catered ti them that at midnight there's a free Chinese buffet put on. If I'm ever out late after drinking sometimes I go there instead if getting a kebab
Fricking chinks do love to gamble. Not even games of skill. Just moronic games of chance.
dont be poor dont be american
colossal difference between table games and slots
Lower class gambling addict homosexuals mixed with rich kids at the tables, grannies at the slots. Casinos are disgusting places.

I got drunk and paid an asian escort to frick while gambling once and she was sleeping so I went through her purse/wallet and he had her actual ID in there and she was only 17, she looked like liu kang from mortal kombat in ID pic too
Same.
>he
You dun fricked up
>anon is not allowed in VIP
hygiene issue
You're going to poor peoples casinos. There are high dollar casinos out there that rich people frequent. Bond isn't going down to the local "Tropicana" and playing the slots with Mildred and Karen
I remember feeling visibly disappointed going to Las Vegas for the first time. I too was expecting swanky black ties and long gowns, but every casino just felt like a tacky theme park.
Did you show up in a swanky black tie or long gown? No, you did not. You were kept among your fellow plebians
Well to be fair, I was a dumbass kid at the time. I didn't know any better.
>anon goes in thinking there are going to be chicks in slinky dresses and guys in debonair suits
>ends up with alcoholic old coots and asian grannies throwing away their retirement one coin at a time
Ahhh youth, it never disappoints
I bet you also expected Eva Green to show you her boobies.

The thing that always got me about Vegas is how you can feel the hope and joy of life being sucked out of you by all the depressed people trying to cure themselves with vices

is a piece of poop on my shoulder supposed to scare me?
If they do Bond like they did the last movie, not even my Grandmother who will watch anything Bond, will watch modern day television soaps with all the poz, she'll watch anything but even she thought it was a load of shit and not even remotely James Bond. If a woman in her 80s with part dementia thought it was shit, that's when you know they have really, really fricked up.
They need a complete wipe and return to the very beginning with a new James Bond, as in James not Janet, and he needs be ethnically British not like they tried to do with the 007 in the latest movie and trying to pass the torch to a Black Lesbian. It doesn't work, people are very tired of characters being race swapped or gender swapped for the sake of diversity marketing or ESG investment money. Audiences dislike pandering and being pandered to, just make Bond what he is and it'll sell why is that so difficult for filmmakers to understand now?
Satanic elites are running these franchises and they don't care, they're completely divorced from reality.
I have watched this movie before and know thats a rope but for about 20 seconds I thought that was a dookie over bonds shoulder instead
It started out as a rope, but Bond shat himself when he got smashed in his balls, staining the thing.
Oh my.
me too, the op knew what he was doing
just go to the high rollers area. ive seen people bet 10k a hand.
