chitoryu12 posted:In terms of the vodka, some further reading suggests that in the 1950s potato vodka was seen as a "commie vodka" less popular in Western circles than grain. Stolichnaya became popular at the time the book was published for its wheat vodka. There's a Polish vodka brand called Chopin and their potato vodka is actually quite good. Smooth and far less oily than the average. I don't really like drinking straight vodka very often, but I would consider it with this stuff. Unfortunately for the purposes of this thread, it's 80 proof.

Hey chitoryu since I've read Casino Royale already, I decided to follow along with the thread by reading the recent comics adaptation from Dynamite... is it ok if I talk about that a bit, post some excerpts? Do you mind if I post some stuff about Bond comics in general as well? As popular as the character has been in movies and literature, he's had a surprisingly checkered career in comics, and it's pretty interesting.

chitoryu12 posted:Yeah, go ahead! As long as it's not spoilers for anything not covered. Thanks. I'm going to wait until Casino Royale is done because there's some scenes late in the book I want to cover in particular. I might do an overview of Bond in comics in general first tho. It's not very extensive but includes James Bond Jr, lol

chitoryu12 posted:Quantum of Solace shook up the Bond film formula by being a direct continuation of Casino Royale, picking up mere minutes after the ending of the previous film. Bond continues on his hunt for the mysterious Quantum organization behind Le Chiffre, resulting in the death of Rene Mathis and the unveiling of some secrets regarding Vesper. I'm sure you already know and are mentioning it because it's the sequel to Casino Royale but for anyone reading who doesn't, Quantum of Solace is a Fleming short story from the collection For Your Eyes Only that has nothing in common with the movie other than the title. Besides the titular film, A View to A Kill hails from there too. Lightning Lord fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jul 19, 2018 |
