if he's high up in English intelligence i think it has to be black eyes, a cravat and a penchant for buggery

I honestly don't like how he wears Levi's in the new movie. I mean, I love Levi's and their Americana image (even though they're pretty much not American anymore

), but it's definitely not fitting for Bond.

The Vesper is straight out of Fleming's Casino Royale.

I'm for it, as it never made alot of sense that Bond is to be constantly wearing a suit no matter how rugged the occassion.

I believe the Bond franchise is contracted with Bollinger for champagne. I remember him ordering La Grand Annee 1999 in the last movie.

Well, he is an Etonian and an ex-Royal Navy man, so I thought we took the penchant for sodomy as a given!
