I like it. It's from one of the Fleming books, so that's always a plus.

Umm...And they changed the name of Timothy Dalton's second film from "Licence Revoked" to "Licence to Kill" because they were worried Americans wouldn't understand the word "revoked"?
And now they're naming this one Quantum of Solace?

What the hell? That sounds like the title of a Zelda game. Oh well, as long as the movie is good I don't care what they call it.

Remember the really great opening for Casino Royal. How graphic it was with all the playing cards and of course casino references.
The art team is going to have their work cut out for them, this title isn't quite as blatant.
Graphically animate "Casino Royale" Okay now do it for "Quantum of Solace." YIKES!
It is clever considering the last movie was a lot about his first love and her betrayal at least that is what it makes me think of.
haha his comfort is going to be all the Bond Women he gets from here on out

When I was first looking at Yahoo news and saw Quantum of Solace my first reaction was that it was a science article on quantum physics or something. :lol:

Quantum wha?
OH! I get it. This is the one where Bond makes the leap home! I've been waiting for that one.

Apperantly Quantum of Solace is a story in the For Your Eyes Only anthology.
But...it's not a James Bond story per say... he's only in it as a background character.

I'm glad Broccoli and Wilson decided not to dumb down a short story title. Bond's becoming a more sophisticated franchise and this helps push that direction further. Seeing the storylines Flemming wrote that are'nt quite mainstream get acknowledged is a great nod to the source material and the past...
The fact it's also not entirely a Bond story gives others a chance at progression, Bond is still a rookie and will be learning from characters

Maybe I'll eventually warm up to it, and I appreciate the fact that it's an original Fleming title, but "Quantum of Solace" seems a poor choice for a James Bond movie. I'm betting 75% of the intended audience won't even know what the f*ck it means -- just like me.

There's a hilarious talkback on AIC about it if that's any...solace.

Ya, that's been my background since it was released a few days ago. One of the best teaser posters I've ever seen.
