Wryguy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Ethan Hawke is pounding the BT throughout his new film Sinister. Also, not bourbon, but I'm pretty sure a few different bottles of Macallan make a cameo in Skyfall, the new Bond flick, including a bottle from '62, that is supposed to be ~50 years old.

Wryguy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Sounds reasonable. But, after a long day, I'm sure Dickel isn't high on their list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalessin Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wow, 48%. Respectable drinking. I wonder if it used to be BIB, but the corporate owners felt the need to chip it down a bit. Gonna be a bunch of pissy Browncoats when that stuff hits 86 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Then they've got bigger problems than just the zombies.They're going to need some cream for that burn.Speaking of "crappy whiskey" why do so many men of power in movies drink less desirable brands? I keep going back to Robert De Niro in Analyze This. He's supposed to be this big shot mafioso who lives the good life and he's always drinking J&B blended scotch. With all the detail they go into in set design (there are no small decisions in movie making) you'd think there would be a drink that is congruous to the stature of the character. Then again, maybe De Niro really loves J&B.When they inevitably produce the biopic of my significant and influential life please don't let someone say "he liked bourbon, right? Just throw some Jim Beam in the frame." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the majority of people watching the movie don't pay attention to what level of liquor the character is drinking, the studio throws in whoever wrote them the biggest check.

squire Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I was going to post what Miller said. Truth is advertizing dollars are responsible for all the labels facing the camera, down to the smallest detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgmarclol Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 i'm a huge bond nerd. fleming's bond in most of his novels was a whisk(e)y drinker, bourbon in particular. some site a few years back actually compiled a list of all the drinks bond ordered/drank in fleming's original books. ian fleming, himself though, drank bourbon and gin...hell, the first chapter in Goldfinger is titled "Reflections in a Double Bourbon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonhalter Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Saw the movie "The Internship" today. Pappy shows up in the first 5 min of the film, and again in the last min. Expect new traffic here of folks trying to find it. I am a huge bourbon fan, but nothing is worth this type of hype.You're welcome for the alliteration in the title.

JPBoston Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Been waiting for it to pop up on NF... can't wait to check it out. Though I read somewhere (maybe here?) that there's some doubt as it pertains to the 'reality' of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAtomic Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Just re-watched an old favorite, "Kiss Me Deadly." Noticed for the first time that Mike Hammer keeps a bottle of Kentucky Tavern in his apartment. I think he drinks from another bottle of Kentucky Tavern while at the apartment of his assistant, Velda. Hammer also gets blackout drunk on bourbon while at an LA club.
