I made the same statement about 6 months ago and I have stuck to it. And you know what? It hasn't beenm in the least bit difficult. Drinking is basically stupid.

YIYF and Ric, thanks for the support. I had actually thought of the whole English was started in Europe not America argument this morning, but you beat me to it. Should've been the obvious point to make.

Let us not forget that Never Say Never Again was directed by Irvin Kershner, who opted to do this film instead of returning for ROTJ.

No its not. Drinking too much is stupid. Drinking to solve your problens is stupid. Drinking to get drunk is stupid. Drinking and then driving, flying, etc is stupid. But so long as you are not an alcoholic, I see no problem having a couple drinks every once in a while. Just keep it within reason.

I agree, but when the PERSON is stupid, as in my case, as a consequence drinking anything at all is stupid. I really can't say I'll NEVER drink again, but after what happened last night, you can be sure I won't drink for a long time. A lesson to you kids out there, DON'T drink half a bottle of Vodka in 2 minutes in an empty stomach, SPECIALLY when you don't usually drink. I swear I feared for my life, it has been 24 hours and I'm still drowsy and sick to my stomach.

BUT! ENOUGH of this. This is the Bond thread, not the stupid alcohoolic tricks thread. So lemme think about something to say related to Bond.

So, although we don't have any info about the new Bond, is the next movie confirmed to be Casino Royale?

Hmnn no, I've never seen Bond absolutely drunk, laying on the floor half-naked singing Charlie's Angles theme song.

GAH! Back on topic! Casino Royale? Yes or no?

I believe it has been confirmed that the next Bond movie will be titled: Casino Royale.

Eon has confirmed that Casino Royale will indeed be Bond 21. Martin Campbell (Goldeneye) will return to the director's chair after he wraps up The Legend of Zorro this fall. That's about it. It's been dreadfully quiet. Of course, that makes for all kinds of rumors based on speculation. Casino Royale as a prequel to Dr. No set in that period. Casino Royale as yet another reboot of the franchise set in modern day. Casino Royale as a spin-off series to focus on "Young Bond" (sounds like a prequel gone too far).

Casino Royale the book has a great NC-17 climax that will undoubtedly be whitewashed down to PG-13 fare, with Bond probably not even coming close to what happened to him in the book.

The only "big" news out of Eon is that they've hired Lowry to remaster all of the films for yet another incarnation on DVD. I think I read 8 or 9 are being prepped for Hi-Def. Why not the whole series escapes me.

So with Brosnan out, who's your pick? I'm for Clive Owen. My wife is for Hugh Jackman. But I've heard crazy stuff like Eric Bana and Ioan Gruffud too. Rickki Lee Travolta (no relation to John) is the latest name being dropped. He's a singer, not an actor, 'cept apparently some charity work playing (irony of ironies) Danny Zuko in a revival of Grease. Sounds like a stand-up guy, but is he Bond? WTF knows?

If Woody Allen shows up as James Bond in THIS version of Casino Royale I'll walk out.

Woody Allen was the best thing about that horrible 1960s version of Casino Royalle. Him, and Orson Welles, specially the psychedelic "torture" scene.

If Woody Allen shows up in the next James Bond movie, I'll kill myself.

That fact that the directer of Goldeneye is coming back to direct this one, does not bode well.

I didn't say he was Q, just that he had a Q-like role in the movie, similar to how John Cleese has taken over in the most recent installments.
He's not playing Q either, but he's in the gadget dispensary role.

But Rowan Atkinson wasn't dispensing gadgets in the movie. He was investigating Bond or something like that. I can't exactly remember but he wasn't even a Bond ally as far as I can recall.

It's been a while since I've seen it too, so maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm sure that Q wasn't in that movie, so who was dispensing gadgets if not him?

There was a Q-like gadget dispensing guy, but he wasn't played by Atkison. Atkinson played a comic relief character who was trying to catch Bond out, or something.

OK, I just checked IMDB - THe gadget guy is called 'Q' Algy. That rings a bell, I think Bond called him 'Algy', not Q, but his official title was Q. He was played by Alex McCowen.

I seem to recall a character named Algy. Hmm. What do you know? I need to go back and watch that one again.

the studio type's wrecked another good thing by trying to save money. Just like cancelling enterprise. Just like Lucas not doing the sequels to star wars because a new cast would be cheaper. Whatever fag they pick to be the new bond i won't go to see, they already screwed over sean connery and now brosnan. who said bond had to be a perpetual 30 something, it would've been interesting to see adventures with a aged james bond who came out of retirement for one last hurrah. By the way Casino Royale was the very first bond novel written by ian fleming, and originally serialized in magazines not a novel to begin with but edited that way later. Of course hollywood has gone too far with the new prequels thing, star wars, the new star trek coming out in 2007, batman begins, they even made a prequel to dumb and dumber without jim carrey that sucked. The only prequels i really like are Revenge of The Sith (only parts of it) enterprise, and the silmarillion and the hobbit which are prequels to thr rings trilogy but have not been made yet into movies. Harve Bennet's Prequel idea for star trek Vi that got cancelled eventually got used in the game starfleet academy.

ATKINSON PLAYED BONDS CIA COUNTERPART. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE CHARACTER'S NAME, BUT THE "CHARACTER" HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL BOND MOVIES. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CHARACTER IS PLAYED BY A DIFFERENT ACTOR EACH TIME. IN ONE MOVIE HE WAS EVEN BLACK.
