Lucky you. Did you ever in your wildest dreams believed you would get there, at the "Casino" tables with the main cast?

Thanks again for sharing it all with us.

I'll be waiting for the last part.

I just hope you don't get tired of all the compliments!!



You have to be kidding me. :)

Thanks to all (again). And I'm writing as fast as I can! Sometime later tonight or in the wee hours of tomorrow, I should be done. Once more, I can't thank you all enough for the compliments. They mean the world to me.

Your posts have been the highlight of this site - probably the most interesting original material since I've started visiting! The compliments are well deserved!

PS - you really should try to write a novel...

Fantastic. Just...fantastic. Good job Ernie. :) You should get your own column here on CBN.

By the way, make it as long and full of detail as possible, it could never bore. :P

I have been quietly enjoying your posts Ernie, superb. You are a lucky man. :P

I hope you don't take any offense from this, but I think you would make a really good Bond Henchman...or even main villain! We'll all be looking out for Ernie in the Casino Royale on Nov 17th :)

I started to stop by at CBn and reading the articles and the forum threads when TWINE was in production, and since then many reports from location were written, spy pics showed up, and they were all very exciting, but I never felt so close to a Bond movie set, as I do now.

Is this, or is this not, a golden page in CBn's history book?

erniecureo, I hope you stick around with us in the forums for a long time.

Before you read this, allow me once more to express my appreciation for all your kind comments. As everyone knows, the fun of telling a story comes not from the tale, but from the reaction of the audience--and for this story, I couldn't ask for a better one. Your enthusiasm has fired my own, making the retelling better than it would have been otherwise.

Living this experience was great--and thanks to you all, sharing it has been just as fun. Best wishes to all, and I'll see you around the forums!



I slipped my cufflinks through their holes in my sleeves, strapped on my cummerbund, and shrugged into my tuxedo jacket. A quick check in the mirror, and I was ready. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and watch the day

If you're not bored of receiving compliments Grant... I won't get bored of handing them out!!

Such a fantastic read - superbly written and thoroughly enjoyable. You have made a lot of Bond fans extremely happy with your insights and anecdotes. For many of us, you have lived the dream!! And when I watch the movie in November, I'll be one of the CBn forum members concentrating particularly closely on the casino extras! :)

Best ever!

Yet another thing to look foreward to in Casino Royale, Ernie! Everyone from this forum should give a shout when they see him in the film, just randomly "weyheeeeeeey!" lol

I will!
