Quantum of Solace

[Augie March]

"Trapped as a suave super-spy, James Bond finds himself bed-hopping from woman to woman, hoping that his next shag, will be the shag home."

Crossover potential surely?

"Quantum of Solace" does sound a bit more Harry Potter than James Bond to be honest

It doesn't really sound Harry Potter, it's more like the sort of thing Iain (M) Banks comes up with for his scifi...

That's a very silly title for a Bond film.

I saw Casino Royale for the first time the other day and I disliked it. I don't rate Craig as Bond and I won't be watching this one.

Shouldn't it be ' a Quanta of Solace?

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

or "The Man With the Diamond Pussy"

Apparently this film starts and hour after Casino Royale finished, so I imagine it will be Bond seeking vengeance on the boyfriend of the woman who double crossed him in the first film.

Anyway, if it's anything like Casino Royale, then i'm deffo looking forward to it.

Not me, that film was rubbish.

Am I right in thinking this film comes out in November - is that 10 months away? - and this thread is entirely about what it will be called?

Your innate perception never fails to astound me, old friend

Just amused. Seems good marketing.

 

[DotCommunist]

Why?

not sure. A quantum of something doesn't sound right to me.

Thank you. I've started this thread on 17 different fora so far and earned £4.50 from EON productions.

That seems like a quantum of cash, to me.

A quantum of something is exactly right, eg
quantum of light = a photon (more or less)
quantum of data = a bit
quantum of thread = a post (sort of)

It's the very little bit that you can't get less than of

Back on-thread, I think it's a cool title, and great that it comes from one of Flemming's old stories. Certainly has a shedload more character than Goldeneye or Die Another Day etc.

otoh, if I ever read the story I don't remember any of it, and (looking at the Wikipedia entry) I find it hard to imagine much of it will make the film.

How the hell are they going to fit that into the opening credits song?

*waahhnnyyahnaahh* He's got a quantum of solace *wahhhnyyaaahnaahhh* And a googleplex of sanctimony *wwwaaahhhnyyaaahhhnaaah* He'll aspirate your apathy *wwwaaahhhnyyyaannaaah* With anaerobic dialysis *waaahhnnyyyaaanaahhh*

Amy Winehouse for the tune.

Get Muse to sing it?

I meant, we get they are going for 'back to Bond basics' authenticity.
They could have gone for a more accessible name.

Isn't it from a Flemming short story about bond? I think they are trying to keep it pure and early flemming.
