All those damned ing ty prudes.

Why are you singling out Casino Royale then, when far "worse" has been uttered in, for example, Licence to Kill?

Actually, I have never seen Licence to Kill. Although, I am planning to see it one day

Yet, the "area" in which you live screens such filthy, depraved fare as CASINO ROYALE and YOU pay your money to go and see it not only at the cinema but probably in the comfort of your own DVD player. You're a fan of the wrong genre and character if this thread is not a wind-up.

I didn't even know or expect it to have "profanity", I just wanted to see it because I am a Bond fan.

[sark]

I just hope that sometime Bond gets in a good "I'll see you next Tuesday."
That's a fun one to use in the States, no one has any idea what you're on about.

[tambourineman]

Cant believe anybody could have a problem with the "profanity" in CR... You see more profanity in an average episode of the Simpsons. Language-wise, CR is as tame as a kitten compared to the average movie. Anyway, words like "bitch", "bastard" and "a ss" have all been used in Bond long before CR.

The only type of language I dont like is the juvenile and sleazy sex jokes most common in the Brosnan era - "I thought Christmas only comes once a year", "I got the thrust of it" etc. Not because I find it offensive but because I think that sort of Beavix & Butthead humour is beneath Bond.

To be fair I think the original poster is quite young, and innocent.

[col_007]

to be honest here in britain we dont mind some bad lanauge for instance if you drop something on your foot your not going to say that was a jolly lot of fun

[dodge]

The profanity in CR didn't even register on my mind. Compared to that in a Tarrantino film, it was so mild, natural and nicely delivered I simply didn't notice. I'd appreciate, in films to come, not hearing anything that rhymes with tuck or runt or casserole, but anything else from CraigBond's lips to my ear's fine by me.

Agreed, except those lines ARE offensive. I'm offended as a Bond fan.

I didn't mind the use of profanity in CR. It all felt natural in context, and I'm well past the point where I'm going to be influenced by the foul tongues of others.

Congratulations to me, I guess.

This from the man who wrote a post (in Dan Caption) about a tattoed p_ _ _ _ up a nose? You're the profanest of us all... we loves ya for it!

[DaveBond21]

I agree with those who said the amount of profanity in Casino Royale is just right.

We British do swear a lot and it takes ALOT to offend a British person these days. Mind, we do love our sexual innuendo too, so James Bond coming out with a few saucy comments about Christmas and Keeping the British end up is extremely natural and fine by me.

Does that mean he's got Lance Armstrong on his case too?

[Leon]

Bond swears often in the novels, with the strong stuff suggested but never actually typed by Fleming. He'd regularly call women bitches etc and the closest Fleming came to writing a proper profanity was in YOLT with "Freddie Uncle Charlie Katie". The rest of the time he'd just write something like, Bond let out one harsh four letter word, or something along those lines.

In the films mild swearing should be used, and harsher stuff hinted at. Such as in CR where he says "How the...it's tailored!"

Funny how I consider myself in being British, although I'm not, but I don't really get offended when people call me those bad things. I just think to myself "whatever"

Why would anyone want to be British when they could have a Brooklyn accent...come from a town with a Starbucks on almost every corner...and, providing only that they are unable to sing, appear on American Idol?

I wasn't making any kind of value judgement, sweet pea . I was just wondering about the practical aspects - was this person born elsewhere but lived in Britain? Curious about the reasons a non-British person would consider themselves British, that's all. It's pure nosiness.

[triviachamp]

this ing you and bitches.

[HH007]

Bond to Le Chiffre (in the torture scene) "I say old chappie. Would you mind not swinging that rat on a rope at my undies as it's extremely unsatisfying. If you do not stop I'll need to bash you on the nose".

That would make bond sound more like a fool. If you come to think of it, it sounds more like a girl's line.

abit like you for starting this silly thread to be honest

Amen.

[DamnCoffee]

"I say old chappie. Would you mind not swinging that rat on a rope at my undies as it's extremely unsatisfying. If you do not stop I'll need to bash you on the nose".

Ugh... horrible line! I can just imagine Angelina Jolie saying that in Tomb Raider 3.

I don't really know, but I think it's because I'm a fan of a British character.I was born in the United States with a Mexican family background, but I don't have a Mexican accent, so I used to say to people I am English (which seems to be the same thing as British. , although I don't even have a British accent either )

Mine too. I fail to see the logic behind this move.
I think people who are actually English (or Welsh, Irish, Scottish, Scotch-Irish, or those ing Pikies) might be a little offended by some mexican-American kid claiming to be them. The fact that you would even use the term "British" accent exposes the kiddie-pool shallowness of your knowledge about her Majesty's realm.

There's basically no logic behind it. It's just that I use my primary spoken language and say its my nationality; such as speaking english and saying that you are english (British), because you speak it.
