Nick1Ø66 6,076 Posted November 21, 2024 Share Posted November 21, 2024 Bond orders it all wrong. Shaken, not stirred, will get you cold water with a dash of vodka and dry vermouth. The reason you stir it with a special spoon is so not to chip the ice. James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it. And Russians make the best vodka.

Jamie Dutton 7,650 Posted November 21, 2024 Share Posted November 21, 2024 I was specifically referencing Bond drinking Smirnoff in his hotel room alone in Tomorrow Never Dies, when Paris Carver suddenly barges in.

It's a vibe, as the kids are saying these days. Bond skulling shots of booze in what looked like a 'coping mechanism' kinda way as opposed to a social pleasure was a new thing then (the only explicit previous reference having been in Alec's 'whether the Vodka Martinis silence the screams of all the men you've killed' in Goldeneye).

Nick1Ø66 6,076 Posted November 21, 2024 Share Posted November 21, 2024 It's my favourite Bond flick, by far. Unabashedly love the whole movie, right down to the completely dated Hamlisch score. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 10,782 Posted November 21, 2024 Share Posted November 21, 2024 Agreed, @Nick1Ø66. It's my #3 favourite Bond. Hamlisch's score might sound dated, but it's a lot more contemporary than Conti's "what the hell was that?!", for FYEO. Nick1Ø66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 6,076 Posted November 21, 2024 Share Posted November 21, 2024 Though I admit, I'd love to have heard what Barry did with the score. Though I guess we sort of know, given that Moonraker is essentially a remake of TSWLM in space. 2 minutes ago, Naïve Old Fart said: It's my #3 favourite Bond. What's #1 & #2?

Nick1Ø66 6,076 Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Not true. There are some great British and American beers. I don’t like IPA’s, but if you do, America is the place to be. What is true is that Ireland has the best beers in the English speaking world. Irish red ales are my absolute favourite. As for the rest of the world? Easy…Germany.
