So in that regard, i may give it another shot sometime in the future. I'm gonna have to find someone to watch it with who's actually enthusiastic about this movie, though. I feel like that kind of screening requires at least one dork who's genuinely into it, either ironically or unironically.

I did not understand this movie. Probably a lot of it is 60s references, probably a lot of it is British references, which are over my head. A lot if it is also probably bad writing. And of course, 60s bullshit. Might be the kind of thing that's more enjoyable with drinks and sarcastic friends.

There's a short song about how seven people named James Bond came to the Casino Royale, they all died, and six went to Heaven and Woody Allen went to Hell.

it's not even just the cowboys - an absurd number of armies of stereotypes show up to fight at the casino, including 007 the seal, for seemingly no reason. Dr. No(ah) has swallowed a pill that turns you into an atom bomb, and he explodes. Everyone is dead. Movie over. Roll credits.

Speaking of Mel Brooks (30min ago) all the cowboys from Blazing Saddles just rode into the casino. It is actually pretty similar to the finale of that movie, 7 years earlier.

Woody Allen Jimmy Bond aka Dr. No(ah) has an army of cloned beautiful women with machine guns that attack David Niven James Bond & crew occasionally. I'm wondering if these were the inspiration for the Femme Bots in Austin Powers? Or if there's still something in the official canon i'll run across.

"Le Chiffre, you're a fool! SMERSH believed you could win at baccarat!"
"All i need is 24 hours!"
"It's too late!"
Then a hand with a gun pops out of his TV and shoots him in the head??
Who's on acid, now??
We're at 1:46. Orson Welles was in this movie for less than 15 minutes.

i guess it's worth noting that when i say something is "60s bullshit," it's a term i swiped from my 8th grade English teacher, who used it in class to explain a bizarre, out of place moment from the film adaptation of Flowers For Algernon. I think this interrogation scene is pretty similar to that.

this interrogation/torture scene is a bizarre mishmash of top-end editing & compositing effects that 1967 could muster to look like an acid trip. It's very strange. I'm gonna file this in the "60 bullshit" bin.

(2/?) quite slowly, and recites a weird little speech in a Scottish accent about how slowly he's getting into the car, looks directly into the camera with wide eyes, and says, "HEE HEE!!" and drives off. This must be a 60s reference that's just over my head. Anyway then it cuts to Bond tied to a

(1/?) after the exchange i transcribed above, where Bond was wearing a suit, it cuts to someone in a Formula 1 racing jumpsuit, which i *think* (??) is still Peter Sellers, duping a guy into running away from the conveniently-parked Formula 1 car with the name James Bond on the side. He gets in,

"Haven't by any chance seen a young lady in a green dress, have you?"
"Let me see, sir. Eh, would that be a lady with a black bag over her head being manhandled by two unsavory gentlemens?"
"Could very well be, yes."
"She went that way, sir."

Peter Sellers James Bond, on finally sitting down at the table with Le Chiffre, in the middle of a sentence suddenly slips into an Indian accent and tries to say something profound. I didn't understand it.
"I don't get it," Orson Welles Le Chiffre says.
"Yes," Peter Sellers James Bond agrees.

i guess i didn't expect to see Orson Welles as Le Chiffre doing David Copperfield-esque magic tricks/illusions in the middle of Casino Royale but here we are.
Oh yeah, an hour and a half in, we finally made it to the casino.

i have several critiques on improving the jokes in the Paris hotel scene here but i guess i'll keep them to myself, i'm just some asshole on bluesky after all. i know, i'm doing film commentary on the internet, but this is the first time i've wanted to go full script doctor.

The Peter Sellers James Bond just landed at the airport in Paris and, unprompted, punched the customs agent in the face?? I don't understand why he did that, and neither does the David Niven James Bond?
