    and DAMN does that look good.

    The first trailer was unimpressive. The new one makes me all gooey.

    I always loved Raymond Chandler's review of one of the Bond books where he says (paraphrased) "I don't want to see Bond feeling and being conflicted. I want to see him blowing shit up and screwing the blond bombshell."

    e: also what the hell is a quantum of solace

    it's just

    it's meaningless

    It was a short story in For Your Eyes Only
    It was something about the comfort you receive from another person
    Probably the worst Bond story because it was not anything like the rest of the books, or even the other stories in For Your Eyes Only

    Yeah, you could hear people in the theater (mostly guys) making noises of pain when that happened
    And even more so during the torture scene

    Maybe he will actually get to drive it for more than 45 seconds this time

    On that note, one of my favorite uses of a Bond car was the scene in Tomorrow Never Dies where he uses it to escape that parking garage and uses every single gadget the car has. It was a fucking Bondcargasm.

    Contrast that to The World Is Not Enough where it gets cut in half and doesn't do shit

    The first time I read "Quantum of Solace" I got excited because I thought a Castlevania movie was coming out.

    Then I got much more excited because I learned it was another Daniel Craig Bond flick.

    I was just sending pics of him to Rachel to show her how cute he is, how pretty his eyes are, and how beefy his body is.

    Even my own girlfriend thinks I'm gay.

    He is a frighteningly attractive man--its unquantifiable

    I think he is the on the bleeding edge of both masculinity and prettiness and it melds to create something more.

    I can't wait to see this. I was pretty blah about Casino Royale until I saw it. It got me all excited about James Bond again. Daniel Craig plays him good.

    Continuity is one thing that was always missing from Bond.

    Other than the motley crew of Q, moneypenny etc the recent bonds have sorely lacked any kind of overarching plot. Not since the days of Connery and Spectre has it been so good.

    From what I understand, Quantum is a direct sequel to Casino, and that a third concluding part is planned for after.

    You guys know what I am really excited about? The intro movie. Every Bond movie has a cool intro cinematic thingy. I just hope QoS's will be just as awesome.

    really though i was happy that they got the "fad of the moment" thing out of the way quickly and didn't try to jam it into every conceivable action sequence during the film

    the segment itself was awesome, yes. but mostly because they didn't make another one like it.
