Chapter 18: A Craig-like Face
I was going over "Casino Royale" this morning, as I'm working on a new fan fiction and wanted to do a little literary Bond/Fleming research. This struck me as an odd little coincidence, and I'm surprised I didn't catch it before. You know ... "Craig-like Face" and Daniel Craig in "Casino Royale"... Odd and pointless? Perhaps. But I thought I'd point it out.

Odd coincidence. I'd always read it as "Crag-Like Face". Surprised I hadn't noticed.

Hmmm. It reads as 'Crag-Face' to me.
 Sean Connery IS James Bond. Quantum of Solace - Good Bond movie, Bad Sequel. Casino Royale is the BEST modern Bond movie. |

What we have here is a misreading and, as is the way with language, changing a single letter makes for a world of difference. |

Well, when I first read Casino Royale (before even getting to Chapter 18), I looked at the chapter titles and mistakenly thought it referred to Bond; I wasn't confused by any letters, just that the title made me think of -- you guessed it -- Daniel Craig. You only live twice:
Once when you're born And once when you look death in the face. --Ian Fleming |

Wasn't Pussy Galore a lazenby, though? ... and didn't Fleming die of Connery disease? The Dalton, Moore, and Brosnan gags are up to you folks. This post has been edited by B.
