Casino Royale (2006)

Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) and James Bond (Daniel Craig) enjoy dinner after his gambling win in Casino Royale (2006)

You know I think I’ll call that a Vesper

I’ve always enjoyed this two scene sequence from Casino Royale (2006), a few issues notwithstanding.

Starting off at a celebratory meal between James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), they continue from previous scenes in flirtatiously building a friendly rapport. Bond is so satisfied with his poker win that he can hardly stop smiling. His tried-and-true shaken, not stirred vodka martini tastes so good he also decides to call it a Vesper in honor of his company.

Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) bets 300 grand in Casino Royale (2006)

300 grand

I love the way that Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) bets “300 grand” in Casino Royale (2006).

Sure, splashing the pot is poor poker etiquette, but who can blame our brother from Langley? The way the chips gracefully exit his hand and spin perfectly to the pot…man, he looks cool!
