SciFiDaily: He's Gonna Save the World at Casino Royale

To think Ian Fleming's golden typewriter inspired a fishing boat, I almost crewed on out of Seal Cove, Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada in the widest range of tides on the earth, the Bay of Fundy. Unfortunately, the General Motors engine the wooden boat was built around, was never flushed out when it was made and metal turnings ruined that job. The deck had to be cut, the motor hauled out and replaced back there in 1971. I heard the "C.R." went up on the rocks in the fog after 19 years, herring purse seine fishing probably. Who looks good on a Scottish funicular (cable railway) should be one of the criteria a new Bond, one opened there. Or a cog railway? If they remake it, like the original, who'll play Orson Welles? Make it around the San Simeon air crash of 1938? A prequel? Here in NYC's "Home newspaper" the "Daily News" they had a number of "why" and "why not" other replacements for Sean Connery that were pretty funny ending with Angelina Joline!
