Also the henchman who looked like temvald was funny

No IFF tonight; stuck with plan A to go to jhango's to watch Casino Royale. It's a heck of a film. I enjoyed it.

Delighted to discover that it chose to go with a gorgeous (and game-themed!) animated opening credits sequence, and I wonder if it was purposefully harkening to the animated opening of the original, very silly movie with the same title. No Herb Alpert, though.

And of course watching any movie so involved with Poker with rikchik in the room is a delight in itself. As computery wonks sometimes can't help cringing at every movie's blatantly incorrect computeriness, Mr. R will watch a Poker scene and mutter things like "Arrgh, he's splashing the pot" and "Bond raised last, so he should show his cards first, but I guess it's more dramatic this way..."
