The name's Bond, James Bond, I'll have a Heineken...

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

He drove a Ford in Casino Royale. He drank some unknown beer in quantum at the bar in Brazil. He drove BMW's. He's switched watches, guns and other crap throughout the years... Who cares if he drinks a Hiney.

Since I haven't seen either of the newer movies, my point stands! :lol

It's like Santa Claus suddenly appearing with a sleigh pulled by donkeys!

That would certainly cut in favor of the "James Bond is a code name" theory.

Yes that would. I kind of always liked the theory but I can't think of a time where Bond referenced an incident under a different Bond actor

Roger Moore lays flowers at the grave of his former wife at the beginning of FYEO, whom George Lazenby married.

Speaking of George, in the scene where he's packing up to leave the service he pulls some memories out of his desk, Sean Connery memories.

And once again, ROGER MOORE NEVER ONCE ORDERED A MARTINI.

It's not the end of the world folks.

 

[micdavis]

Roger Moore never ordered a Martini in any of his Bond films, I don't see it as a big deal. It'll be like the Ford placement in CR, one scene and then we move back to the proper stuff I'm sure.

XXX orders one for him in The Spy Who Loved Me. What was her drink?

At the beginning of OHMSS Lazenby quips, "This never happened to the other fella."

Ever hear the Christmas tune "Dominick the Donkey"? I rest my case :lol

My comment about the beer was a joke; of *course* it's all about ad revenue. Then again, considering that a fresh-opened Heineken smells like a skunk that just delivered its payload, maybe it's a secret weapon from Q used to clear out a room... :lol

I do, because Hiney sucks :lol

Connery, Lazenby and Moore all tangled with Blofeld.

The new Vesper Martini will use Heineken instead of vermouth or Lillet.

I don't care if he has a Keurig machine mounted in a Fiat 500 Abarth, I still want to see this movie!

Wonder if he likes Coke or Pepsi? lol

 

[Dave Ward]

I didn't realise there was such a hatred for that beer here! Not that I'm disagreeing, but I've have put it at the bottom end of the middle shelf of beers. Not a microbrew, but not dredge like Rolling Rock or Coors light.

 

[Sundowner]

hahaha agreed. I dont much care for most of the regular beers (coors, miller, bud..etc). I like the fancy beers that cost twice as much and have obscure names (Gumball Head, Magic Hat). But I'm NOT a beer snob :lol

I heard that was going to be subplot in the next Abrahms trek - The villain gets half the crew to like pepsi and the other half to like coke and they're fighting amongst themselves over it and have to overcome that before being able to defeat the bad guy.

Classic divide and conquer story line

It's actually one of the things that boggles the mind. If you want your product featured in a movie, you pay the producers to have it placed in a scene or scenes. However, if a movie or tv show wants to use someone's song to illustrate a scene - you pay them to give them free publicity. Makes no sense.

He never acted in any of his Bond films either.

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Yes, but she ordered it, not him. I guess she's more Bond than Roger Moore was. :lol

A tip of the hat to the audience, completely negated by him remembering Connery's missions in the later scene.

He never acted in any of his Bond films either.

:lol

I liked The Spy who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only but by in large, ya, not a Moore fan.

Aw, c'mon! Rolling Rock (and Bud) are nice breakfast beers! :lol

 

[Goonie]

Should have Bond drinkin' Colt 45!

 

[ixtore]

When they made the decision to use Craig as Bond they loosened things up quite a bit. He still likes the finer things, but he is totally mission oriented and driven. The films used to have a high gloss international feel, jet hopping from exquisite location to more exquisite location. QOS took place in a lot of backwater locals. Beer for Bond? I think for this one, yes. (Though he could have gone for a British brand).

 

[Jeyl]

Bond: Vodka Martini.
Barttender: Shaken or stirred?
Bond: Do I look like I give a damn?

I don't think Bond gives a dang what other people think he drinks.

 

[Sundowner]

I loved that scene!

I don't think Bond gives a dang what other people think he drinks.

Seriously! Get that man a Taddy Porter!


Actually don't, since it'll probably make it more expensive and harder for me to find.
