As we've come to expect over the years, film critics almost invariably use some sort of bad pun for the titles of their reviews, whether they liked the movie or not.

So what crappy/clever puns do you think they might come up with in regard to Casino Royale?

Off the top of my head:

"ROYALE FLUSH"

This could be used both ways -- the "flush" sounds bad, but it's technically the most valuable poker hand (right?). I imagine if they hate it, they might use it to say CR "flushes" the Bond franchise down the toilet. But like I said, it makes for a somewhat problematic pun.

"ROYALE WITH CHEESE"

Unlikely, since I doubt CR will be cheesy in any way. Just an example. Agh, why did I have to tangentially bring Tarantino into this? Anyway...

Whaddya think? [aside from "Man, this guy is really scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of forum topics." Believe me, I already know.]

Part of me is hoping that CR will suck just so that I can write a scathing review with the headline:

NOBODY DOES IT WORSE



I expect the pun-filled Empire will give the film **** or ***** and, noting its makers' good intentions to shake up the formula and make something of real quality while chucking in the obligatory reference to Craig's hair colour, will use the headline:

BLOND AMBITION

Casino Ro-why?
Casino Bore-al
Snooze-ino Royale

Okay, I've embarassed myself enough. I'm just glad the media won't have a "concept" title to manipulate, as those were so obvious. They'll have to work at it here to slam this one. I think.

I imagine they'll try the gambling angle: "Roayle Gamble on Craig [insert verdict here]".

"LATRINE-O ROYALE"

[Wade]

Oh, let's see ...

"Craig's listless"

"Royale pain"

"Deal or no deal?"

" 'Casino' banal"

"Poker? I hardly KNOW her!"

[Qwerty]

"LATRINE-O ROYALE"

LOL. Didn't think of that one.

Potentialy positive review title:

"ROYALE TREATMENT"

[Icephoenix]

What I do know is that they'll find a way to add something like "Caino Royale will leave you shaken, but not stirred" as usual. Yet to read an article about Bond that hasn't used the line.

Oh those journalists are so witty.
