I just watched the Casino Royale remake again, and I have to say, that the revamp is arguably cooler than the groovy original. However, there is an element of the old one that is unassailably cool, in the same way that '50s modern/Googie houses are way cooler than hulking, suburban-eclectic frankenhouses and soulless office parks that are filling every available field between your city's downtown and the nearest freeway.
In other words, Baccarat is long-gone optimisim, and poker is post-modern realpolitik.
I'll sell this thesis to a grad student for $1000. Any takers?
