The irony is that Bond is actually wearing an Italian suit at the time (Brioni did his wardrobe for Casino Royale), not a British one, and therefore this would not be any kind of basis for assuming that he went to an exclusive British university.
James Bond (the literary character at least) went to the University of Geneva.
OP you might be gayer than daniel craig
Daniel Craig isn't gay, he just exclusively hangs out at gay bars.
Next you'll explain the discrepancies with his wrist israeliteelry.
He went to Eton as did Fleming.
Think that's what she references
Is that line from the books? When you consider the eccentricities in how Fleming, and the literary Bond dressed - it makes sense.
Anon, I love James Bond, but a cruel reality is they have always been used as vehicles to sell high end brands to dudes who want to appear suave as James.
Every watch, suit, shoe, car, and even his drinks have some sort of sponser involvement.
It also helps that while unknown British sailors are just as good, among the big name brands Armani and Valentino do the best suits.
>British sailors
Obviously meant tailors
Freudian slip, eh Craig?
semen, uh I mean seamen
Bond stopped wearing English suits with the Dalton movies. Roger Moore used the same tailors in his private life, as worked on his Bond films.
There's no financial incentive to work with a Savile Row house, they are tiny businesses compared to a big ready to wear brand like Brioni. It's really shameful that 007 wears American or Italian off the rack slop, versus the military heritage tailoring of England.
thats only because originally they had a tiny budget and it was the only way to pay for the movies. It isn't really true now.
The original movies had very little product placement compared to the new ones and many brands were associated with Bond just because Fleming liked them.
That's no surprise to anyone who's not a moron. James Bond is the most prestigious movie brand and every single brand under the sun wants a piece of the pie. The new Bond, Aaron Johnson (won't use the hyphen), already has brand deals with Armani and other brands that already have deals EON. if he cuts his hair like this but dried out, he can look real good as Bond in a good suit. I hope they get Tom Ford to do his suits in Bond 26.
>issin oh-mega innit
lol
you would have the EZ-PASS for pussy if you had one in 2007-2015
FACT
You should know that only men notice fancy watches and cars, anon.
why would you assume that an obviously russian man went to a british university
>POOP MA PEN A PAN
>POOP MY SPEN A SPEN
>EK SE!
>HAVE SEX!
the irony that Bond is really Daniel Craig, an actor
the fact that he doesnt have a parking lot between the teeth already gave it away long bofore the suits
There's so many worse discrepancies in this film like how MI6 managed to get double crossed TWICE by two different people or how they hired such a wreck-loose for a role that no doubt would require a track record of smooth operations and intelligence gathering or how Bond is just allowed to quit by sending a Goddamn email and not have to report in to M in-person and ensure that the cash is actually in the hands of MI6 before doing so, as well as retroactive ones including how they weren't able at any point to link Le Chiffre at all to Quantum and from there SPECTRE, but yeah the suit is an issue too.
Casino Royale falls apart massively if you think about it's plot for two seconds, it's not even stuff you can ignore since the reasoning for the entire poker game is piss-poor. The only things people remember and prop up about it are the Chris Cornell song, the Bourne action, Eva Green's and Mads Mikkelsen's performances.
>how MI6 managed to get double crossed TWICE by two different people
Vesper and who else?
>how they hired such a wreck-loose for a role that no doubt would require a track record of smooth operations and intelligence gathering or
Bond was chosen because he was "the best card player in the service."
>or how Bond is just allowed to quit by sending a Goddamn email
This was silly, yeah, but I'm sure Bond would eventually show up in-person to confirm the e-mail.
> and not have to report in to M in-person and ensure that the cash is actually in the hands of MI6 before doing so,
The money was in MI6's hands in the account they had set up with Vesper. It was the Treasury that didn't have the funds.
>as well as retroactive ones including how they weren't able at any point to link Le Chiffre at all to Quantum and from there SPECTRE
Well you can't blame CR for what the sequels did.
How do you try to explain WHY the card game even happened and why Bond was send there? They had Le Chiffre dead to rights and he was obviously, in the torture scene, willing to talk to MI6 to save his own skin. Why did the card game even happen at all? In the book, it makes way more sense considering the time period and the way Fleming frames it but in the movie, it's story-breaking.
>They had Le Chiffre dead to rights and he was obviously, in the torture scene, willing to talk to MI6 to save his own skin. Why did the card game even happen at all?
He was willing to talk because MI6 would be the only people able to protect him from the people he ripped off. We can infer that MI6 didn't have enough evidence to just outright arrest him even if they knew he was a terrorist financier. Knowing something and proving it to a jury are two different things.
>Mathis (who keep in mind is not innocent despite Vesper being the ultimate traitor)
What? Mathis was innocent. LeChiffre implicated him to misdirect him from Vesper. Mathis is Bond's ally in QOS.
>Not even talking about the main mission, more the previous one where he fricked up badly.
Capturing the parkour bomber guy? It went south because Bond's partner gave the game away. Bond tearing an embassy apart was dumb on his part but it was also part of his character arc of going from a bulldog soldier to a professional assassin.
>How MI6 wouldn't ensure anyone could extract the money after the fact or wouldn't have someone monitoring the transaction is astounding.
The account was in Vesper's care. MI6 had no reason to distrust her at that point. Spy agencies frick up all the time. Read up on Kim Philby, MI6 was riddled with Soviet spies throughout the entirety of the Cold War. If anything, the Bond movies make MI6 seem way more competent than it actually is.
>Same writers all the way up to NTTD. I sure can.
Not really, QOS was basically improvised by Marc Forster and Daniel Craig. And the writers aren't the only ones calling the shots, the producers and directors do, too. Skyfall-through NTTD all had different co-writers and two different directors. NTTD alone has something like 5 or 6 people who wrote it (Purvis, Wade, Fukunaga, Waller-Bridge, and Scott Burns off the top of my head), compared to three who wrote CR.
Vesper and who else?
Vesper and Mathis (who keep in mind is not innocent despite Vesper being the ultimate traitor)
>Bond was chosen because he was "the best card player in the service."
Not even talking about the main mission, more the previous one where he fricked up badly.
>I'm sure Bond would eventually show up in-person to confirm the e-mail.
Yeah and he probably did when he came back after making the mistake.
>The money was in MI6's hands in the account they had set up with Vesper. It was the Treasury that didn't have the funds.
How MI6 wouldn't ensure anyone could extract the money after the fact or wouldn't have someone monitoring the transaction is astounding.
>Well you can't blame CR for what the sequels did.
Same writers all the way up to NTTD. I sure can.
Pretty much. Skyfall is just as bad, the blessing both films have is the dud in between them.
You're not cool for not liking a universally acclaimed movie
The irony is that Bond is nothing more than British capeshit. It got constant reboot and even didn't adhere to it source material anymore like all capeshit.
James Bond (the literary character at least) became irrelevant since the fall of the Soviet Union.
DAMN DANIEL
BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE WHITE VANS
REAL Bond (Moore obv) would never be caught wearing that shit, or worse yet a fricking OMEGA
Why does Omega get one over Rolex on sponsoring James Bond? How do they do it?
>Why does Omega get one over Rolex on sponsoring James Bond? How do they do it?
Rolex doesn't need any endorsement, whereas Omega is the underdog. Even if Eon wanted to work with Rolex there's no deal to be done.
does Aston Martin need any endorsement? I get the logistics but it sucks that Bond has to wear fricking Omega.
>does Aston Martin need any endorsement? I get the logistics but it sucks that Bond has to wear fricking Omega.
Looks like Aston Martin did pay up:
