I kind of like that they explained how James can frick all of these women so nonchalantly without risking harm to innocents ir neglecting responsibility. Enhanced his character in a very Bond-y way.
The entire point of Bond, at least in the movies, is he's a human hand grenade. He's a self-destructive but ultimately highly competent agent who they can throw at a supervillain who's got a doomsday weapon he's going to unleash in two days and who will most likely get results.
Yeah he causes property damage, yeah he takes a lot of time to enjoy himself with women and drink, but ultimately his loyalty is to his country, he knows he's expendable and he doesn't care.
One drink can steady the hand if you're nervous. As long as he's not getting sloshed its a boon.
If you had to go undercover in a room full of killers you'd want a drink too.
He drinks them shaken so they're watered down, generally speaking you don't shake gin and you never shake martinis.
This is the same advice you see Roger give Price in Mad Men. Scotch and water, drink half, wait until the ice melts enough so the drink is almost clear, them order another. Let's you keep your wits about you while the other person thinks you're going drink for drink.
This.
He sips watered down Vodka Martinis. Traditional gin can have a tunt but Vodka is clear -- its on purpose.
Less potent than a glass of wine.
I have used the same trick at business functions
My poker face is too good. I did meth for like two months just to see if anyone would notice. No one even looked at me funny. I would make people uncomfortable at college parties cuz I’d do shots and gravity bong loads and just carry on a conversation normally. I once consoled a very upset woman for like an hour when I was on nbome.
early zoomer here, I can clear 2/3s of a fifth in an evening easily with a minimal hangover the next day
frick at the cookout last weekend I had four beers, barely had a buzz
because he is based.
well, semi-based.
he used to be completely based, back when he smoked, too.
and made sexist jokes.
and wouldn't take no for an answer to his sexual advances.
God I hope Eon doesn't frick the next Bond over. I have suspicions they're going to choose a proper Bond based on some of the things they have said since NTTD came out, but it's not too late for their American overlords to frick them over and make them choose some black dude.
Honestly, as much as I like MOST of Craig's movies, I'm glad to be rid of him. He was getting too big for his britches. It's always a bad sign when the Bond actor thinks they're bigger than the role. Connery and Moore and Brosnan never thought that.
He interfed in the direction of the movies from the start.
In Casino Royale, Eve Green was supposed to be naked in the shower scene. Instead Craig white-knighted for her and she got to keep her dress on. In a fricking shower FFS.
PTSD. He’s murdered hundreds. Shot, tortured, beatup, car crashed all add up … he got to have some sort of physical pain issues and drug dependency. His fundamentally damaged psyche, just made worse by all the experiences…
Basically everything we think is Bond “cool” is the result of a deeply damaged person.
I'm watching Spectre, just now, it's pretty good. It has a lot of old-fashioned movie magic, some actual SOVL. I don't see why it was so poorly received.
>I might as well ask you if all those vodka martinis ever silence the screams of all the men you've killed... or if you find forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women for all the dead ones you failed to protect.
Chads can drink and smoke and still get the job done.
The addict claimed as he was fired from his job at the warehouse.
project much?
this. end of.
you will live to see an even more emo bond on screen who will take all manner of legal drugs (off amazzon) to cope with the loss of a hole.
>So you want me to be half-monk, half-hitman
Bond mostly hits on women, and engages in violence. Both of which goes hand in hand with drinking
Martinis are absolutely disgusting
Imagine drinking
WHAT A LIFE
I don't get it? Why does Bond like having his wiener and balls destroyed so much? Wouldn't it affect his performance?
based Mads, WHAT A LIFE
based Bond for getting him to scratch his balls that line was hilarious.
based
It's a power move.
>finally get an eva green gf
>some guy smashes your balls
WHAT A LIFE
She died anyway ;_;

Nah, that's a modern interpretation. Bond in the 60s just drank because being a functioning alcoholic (and occasionally slapping a woman) was ok.
>(and occasionally slapping a woman) was ok.
Based Connery enjoyer.
He's a functioning alcoholic.
most unrealistic movie trope
So what are we all DRINKIN and WATCHIN tonight DRUK bros?
Fosters and Stranger Things for me
went and saw the new dr strange with the missus.
Because he has to kill for a living and he's not a psycho
>he's not a psycho
>Tier 1 glowBlack person
2-3 Martini have literally no negative effect on an adult male with normal testosterone levels.
*affect
*effect
another failed product of the American education system
being impaired would only make the job slightly more hard and he's up for the challenge. also childhood trauma, he drinks
Shaken, not stirred.
an attractive white woman, not allowed anymore

He's drinking Martini. Noone gets pissed.on Martini

he has tremor and performance anxiety like me
We lost...
Real men drink to calm their nerves beside they are too amped up. It's why we perform certain tasks better with a buzz going.
This. My wife doesn't get near the beating when I'm sober.
Be honest: how many people ITT can't hold their liquor? Because I'm getting that vibe from some of you.
I'm a lightweight. A few pints and I'm anybody's.
who tf is this broad heheh
Emily Blunt - The Girl on the Train.
me because I'm not a degen

frick at the cookout last weekend I had four beers, barely had a buzz
I can have two beers and not even feel tipsy
I'm a bong, im genetically predisposed to functional alcoholism
I think they did a study on the books and how much he drank daily, guy was a total drunk even for the era. Also smoked like a chimney.
I do my job better and more efficiently after a couple drinks
because he is based.
well, semi-based.
he used to be completely based, back when he smoked, too.
and made sexist jokes.
and wouldn't take no for an answer to his sexual advances.

Maybe next time they‘ll write an actual screenplay. We can only hope

DRUK GODS OUR TIME IS NOW
I dont get it? Why does Bond play D&D so much? Wouldnt it effect his job performance?
PTSD. He’s murdered hundreds. Shot, tortured, beatup, car crashed all add up … he got to have some sort of physical pain issues and drug dependency. His fundamentally damaged psyche, just made worse by all the experiences…
Basically everything we think is Bond “cool” is the result of a deeply damaged person.
Un BEARably cute
Ana, I would drink your bath water.
Bond smoked 70 cigarettes a day in the books.
70 cigarettes was considered comically little in the 50s
It could very well be his last drink since death is always around the corner plus it's not like he is downing bottles
I honestly think Casino Royale is one of the best movies of the past 20 years.
I honestly think so too.
In what movie has Bond ever actually finished a drink let alone had more than one. Its a way to look inconspicuous while doing spy shit.
He doesnt drink that much tho. One fricking vodka martini. Im pretty sure I could drive and shoot people after a few.
And whilst we are on the subject Dalton is the best Bond and should have been in more.
Cringe
based
Based. I've always wished for a Daltoneye
yeah he definitely should've been in more. and no offence to the Australian but he shouldn't have been in any.
>Why does Bond like drinking so much?
He drinks to forget Vesper
Someone post the XQCD
I'm watching Spectre, just now, it's pretty good. It has a lot of old-fashioned movie magic, some actual SOVL. I don't see why it was so poorly received.
Because audiences are capeshit monkeys who cannot identify SOVL
i thought it was pure shit tbh.
casino royale - 10/10
quantum of solace - shit
skyfall - meh
spectre - shit
no time to die - shit
you - shit
its too easy to spot spooks since they dont drink now. if you arent half wienered at my orgy slave auctions, its pretty obvious you arent one of us.
>I might as well ask you if all those vodka martinis ever silence the screams of all the men you've killed... or if you find forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women for all the dead ones you failed to protect.
Drinking will get you into all kinds of scenarios.
