okay yeah

Joe DarlingtonGUEST
no honestly i that casino royale was probably to this day the one really purely just loved it movie from beginning that i feel like every bond movie i had seen up until that point and probably since usually i'm i'm watching it love it it's fun everything's great there's one or two things where i kind of was like oh i might have done that differently or just like oh that was like i didn't quite get it that was a little confusing i'll get it later that kind of thing um But this one, I was just hooked the entire time.

Joe DarlingtonGUEST
And the funny thing about Casino Royale, again, is that you have to remember, too, is that Casino Royale was always that one film they didn't have the rights to for so long.

Joe DarlingtonGUEST
and that was also the book that i'd read far and away the most of all the books you know because every time i would say okay that's it this summer i'm going to read every single book from beginning to end then i'd get a couple in but i would always start from the beginning i would always start with casino again um so that was the one that was like really committed to memory so When I saw the trailer, you know, I always had a theory like throughout Brosnan, you know, if and looking back at some of like the 70s bonds, you know, like like Golden Gone, Moonraker, nothing like the novels, obviously.

Joe DarlingtonGUEST
So my assumption with Casino Royale was that if they ever did it, I'm sure there would be a card game in it, but the card game would then lead to the giant space laser or some world-conquering thing that has to happen because we have to have epic stakes.

Joe DarlingtonGUEST
And so when I saw the trailer for Casino, I kind of perked up and went, ooh, I don't think that's what they're doing.

What have been some really special moments seeing them in the theater? I mean, we've been kind of sharing several of them throughout the night, but is there a number one, something that really sticks out in your time seeing Bond in the movie theater?
