Title: Quantum of Solace
Post by: Trey on March 04, 2008, 02:52:45 AM

OK...there is no question that this is the worst James Bond title ever...but can you think of a worse title, period?  I mean, WOW.  And think of the poor sap who has to write the theme song.

I understand all of the words in the title, but I don't think I've connected with what they mean together...  You're right, that title is utterly horrendous.

They aren't particularly hot and Craig has his head up his own ass.  That being said, he's a good Bond.

Quantum of Solace was the title of an Ian Fleming short story btw.

the bond girls from Casino Royale weren't that hot either. One of them was pretty...good for magazine cover... maybe they gave up the hotties. I can't remember enough bond girls to make a quick judgment, still Golden Eye is my fav bond movie.

I always thought Bond films were supposed to be family friendly silly 60s adventures, until I saw what they did to his nether regions in Casino Royale.

Eva Green had her moments.  Advisedly, there were some shots of her that looked a bit plain, but there were others that made me glad I've got through that early stage of puberty where you can't control anything.

Eva Green ftw! Muse were asked to write the theme song, but they declined. :(

I know...but if they are going to keep using Fleming titles, they're going to run out of options.  The only ones left are Risico (this one's okay...it's mysterious), The Hildebrand Rarity ( ??? ), and The Property of a Lady (which could work for James Bond... :P).

And Eva Green is absolutely stunning.

I think - aside from Casino Royale - I've only seen her in Kingdom of Heaven...in which she was most splendid! More so than in that Bond film, anyway.

Now, I know I'm not supposed to know about this, but...check her out in The Dreamers...as her director in that film, Bernando Bertolucci, said about her in an interview shortly after the film's release, she's "So beautiful it's indecent".

You haven't shown her best parts, but I understand it's shocking through American eyes (lol)
now I'm going to show the average Eva.

You do realize that I mentioned The Dreamers earlier in this thread?  I won't be "shocked"...but I wasn't sure if I would even be allowed to link to some of Eva's pics from The Dreamers or some of Monica's pics from...most of her fashion shoots and films.  And there are some average shots of Monica out there, too...those two were just the best ones I could find that I knew the moderators would allow.  Also, I wouldn't say that the first "average" one of Eva is that "average" at all.

because you see her pretty face, I totally agree she's pretty, but I would rather Monica anyway.

Well, you can't go wrong either way (and I'd take either one any day), so...   But what of the new Bond girls, Gemma Arterton and the woman from Hitman (I honestly do
