Still as long as the film is good I don't care about the name.

I thought Kurylenko's claims that she's going to be a very different Bond girl were laughable though. How many times have we heard that now? That old cliche might have been true during the Roger Moore years but we've had more "tough" Bond girls than not in recent films. I don't necessarily mind a Bond girl being able to take care of herself, but these actresses should stop convincing themselves they're breaking new ground. They're just there to look hot.

I can see using a title of a Fleming book or story if it's a good title, or if the movie is actually an adaptation of said title. If it's not though, why go with such a lame title. The Spy Who Loved Me film had nothing to do with the book, but it was a good title. Quantum of Solace ain't a good title, it sounds like some crap BBC movie playing Sunday night on PBS starring Helen Mirren and Timothy Dalton.

I mean, who the hell is going to even to equate that title with a Bond flick? Only the producers. Everyone else is going to scratch their heads and say, "WTF?" Unless they make it a quantum physics time travel movie, set it in space have Bond played by every actor that portrayed him in the movies. Now THAT would be an interesting Bond film.

But I think I would still prefer watching Professor Ikamono get torn to shreds by his former henchman Brokeback/BSB in a gay lovers' quarrel. Bond would just sit back and look repulsed while Prof. Ikamono and BSB fought to the death over a bouquet of flowers meant for Heath Ledger's memorial service. Then Bond would read Prof Ikamono's gay ode to Ledger as a eulogy. And then he'd ship BSB's body off to Israel for burial. Heh heh.

I liked Craig in Layer Cake so much that the casting had me looking forward to CR. I saw Casino Royale in the theater and bought it on Bluray. I'm Daniel Craig's bitch I guess.

Important clues in the meaning....
by Dude_gimme_tabs
Jan 24th, 2008
09:23:19 AM
This was a short story in the "For Your Eyes Only" collection. There are some very important pointers regarding Bond, Vesper and how the events of Casino Royale will come into play and affect Bond in this movie. It also is clear what the title means when you take it in context of the story. Quantum of Solace is not a spy story or a typical Bond tale. Bond appears only in the background and is attending a boring dinner party at the Government House in Nassau with a group of socialites he can't detests (as per Vesper's comments in CR). Bond makes an rude remark after dinner when the other guests have left in order to stimulate conversation as he is bored shitless. The retort from the elderly Governor of The Bahamas who tells 007 a story about a relationship between former civil servant Philip Masters stationed in Bermuda and air hostess Rhoda Llewellyn. After meeting aboard a flight to London the two eventually married but after a time Rhoda became unhappy with her life as a housewife. She then began a long open affair with the eldest son of a rich Bermudan family. As a result Masters' work deteriorated and he suffered a nervous breakdown. After recovering he was given a break from Bermuda by the governor and sent on an assignment to Washington to negotiate fishing rights with the US. At the same time the governor's wife had a talk with Rhoda just as her affair ended. Masters returned a few months later and decided to end his marriage, although he and Rhoda continued to appear as a happy couple in public. Masters returned alone to the UK, leaving a penniless Rhoda stranded in Bermuda, an act of which he'd been incapable of merely months earlier. But Masters never recovered emotionally, his vital spark never relit. The governor goes on to tell Bond how after a time Rhoda married a rich Canadian and seems to be happy, telling Bond that his dull dinner companions whom he found so boring were Rhoda and her new husband. The story makes the point that 007 adventures are nothing compared to real life drama. Bond reflects that the lives of the people he passes somewhat superficial judgments upon can in fact hide poignant episodes. Quantum of Solace can be translated to "Degree of comfort,". Masters and Llewellyn could have gotten past their problems had they not lost their "Quantum of Solace" or "Degree of Comfort." They didn't have to do the horrible things they did to each other, they chose to because they lost their degree of comfort. In CR Vesper convinced Bond that just because he'd done terrible things he didn't have to keep doing them. Her subsequent betrayal could easily have removed his "Quantum of Solace," accounting for his cold indifference to both killing and members of the opposite sex.

After seeing the cast of Bond women who look like teenagers that they've lined up for this one it'll feel more like R. Kelly's home videos. And Quatum Solace is a dreadful title. Sounds like a Yanni ablum.

I actually thought when they originally cast Carice Van Houten and got that drama film director guy that this one would be a step up from Casino Royale. But now I'm suspecting it will end up a total mess that it neither be a proper 007 feature or a gritty newschool Bourne deal but an annoying wierd hodgepodge of the two.

There is absolutely no way that's the title. In 1988 they had one called License Revoked. They changed it to License to Kill because the testing showed that not enough people knew what "revoked" meant. So I don't think "quantum of solace" is going to make it.

One, NO one knew what the FORMER was Two, what you said about the Madness of King George was absolutely true. George III? What happened to George I and George II? It's kind of like Rambo IV being titled Rambo. We already had Rambo: First Blood Part II. Which in retrospect is probably the absolute dumbest way they could have titled it. Except, perhaps for calling it Rambo: Quantum of Solace. Holy shit.

The article mentioned that M is having a larger role in all of this. My guess is that M's personal past has a few skeletons and she needs someone to do her some quite personal favors. She dislikes Bond, but is forced to rely on him.

Really, somebody says "I was in an Alan Parker film and I was born in May 1972" and then accuses anybody who looks it up to be a stalker?

Don't make such claims unless you're willing to back 'em up. And I have to be the only "stalker" in history who knows absolutely nothing about their "victim", while at the same time since I've been completely open on these threads you could know nearly everything about me!

Also: the Ian Fleming short story "Quantum of Solace" is all about Bond talking about wanting to marry a flight attendant, then having a conversation at a cocktail party with a dude who got stuck in a bad marriage. And the "quantum of solace" is something to do with a man's comfort in a relationship. Or something like that; it's been years since I read it. Bottom line, it's boring as hell. And even the title leaves a bad taste.

Worked for Nintendo; Revolution sounded cool, sure, but Wii gets the World-Jackass-machine going and here we are 14 months later with people still waiting in lines for it. Also, I'd read it to mean that it's the smallest amount of comfort/peace Bond could be afforded. Especially since the movie's starting an hour after the last, right? The end of the last movie had Bond in full-on vigilante mode, definitely not at peace. No rest for the weary and all...

Casino royale was the last chance the flatulent Broccolis had to make Bond relevant ot the 21st century . And they failed. I wont be going to see "Quantum of Solace". Bond is a timepiece better suited to the 1950's and 60's. The mark set by Spy movies is Bourne and Bond doesnt address the issues that Bourne presented. AKA: Spy organsiations fuck up the world. So to me Bond is a sick joke that should be shunned. Not promoted.

One really cool fight scene or chase that is marred by shakey cam.

Bourne: Who am I? (Another Forty minutes)

I once thought this would make a good title, back when Dalton was still set to return for a third movie. But looking at it today, it's pretty bad. Michael Wilson claims it was chosen "just a few days ago", which doesn't inspire much confidence either. You can almost see them sitting around and asking, "Is there any way we can spin that title to fit our movie?"

The last thing we want is an odd, thoughtful, obscure name that suggests a slightly adult Bond which stays as close to Fleming as Casino Royale did. Fuck that with a side of cock pie. What we need is "Killing Again With Carchases". You know, something for the chillins' - something to get us back to the good old days of Octopussy..... Quantum of Solace is dark & slightly baroque - a bit like James Bond. I'm off to build a time-machine. That way everyone who judges a Bond film by its special commemorative Burger King tie-in cup can go back to 1997 and enjoy Tomorrow Never Dies on continuous reloop. And then gouge their eyes out with the Jonathan Pryce-shaped straw. Anyone who does not like this title is absolutely not wlecome in my secret underground lair.

"America has one of the best education systems in the world." Not anymore. After Reagan dismantled California's incredible education system, we dropped global ranks fast along with all the other programs. Yes, we have great minds here. Yet American students rank around 40 in terms of science and humanities globally. Far more folks here are sucking off the tube rather than reading. And 30 percent approval or not, a genuine moron became president twice and has continued to lie and bully our nation into submission. People here care more about Britney Spears than Iraq. I'm an American, I know what's been going on in our country for a long time. Quantum of Solace means something if you know a little English and are willing to think for longer than one second. Whoda thunk Bond was educational?

Thanks for taking the time to post that. Having never read much of Bond, I'll be interested in seeing which elements they pull from the short story to use in the film, if any. But I'm with SpyGuy, QoS is too much of a mouthful - how Nobody Lives Forever or Win, Lose or Die hasn't already been used is amazing.

I also do a mean Sean Conenry. I roll the 'R's and do the 'sh' thing. Bond is about the one thing that can get me riled up. We want a dark, grown-up Bond. We want a title like 'Die Again Tomorrow'..... I just think the producers have a) earned enough trust from the last one that people should give them some benefit b) are clearly going away from the kid-appeal that made the franchise so lame. So I get pretentious / sanctimonious about it. I also happen to be right though so don't hate a brother.

No problem amigo ! I hope it helps cast some light on the directions they might take and how we can expect, as Craig says, to see Bond being shaped in a continuation from Casino Royale. Hopefully it will cut through some of the general ignorance of people who cannot compute a title without the words "Kill" or "Die" in it. The title song will hopefully follow "You Know My Name" and not have to reference the title. I have high hopes for this. Craig in the lead and being active in sorting out the plots/script. Marc Foster who made Kite Runner, and some top class talent in acting department (e.g. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, what a movie !). Oh, and re : the anti-Americanism. I ain't American, and I reckon the entire world has seemed to take a slide backwards towards general ignorance recently. Probably due to the internet giving fucktards a worldwide voice. I have travelled extensively all over the world and more than anything in the US (I used to be married to a Yank) and the Amercan's are some of the coolest, most friendly and greatest people on the planet. If we judge them all by the monkey in the White House or the fucktards online then we do ourselves as big a diservice as them.

Obviously, you haven't been many other places in the world. North America (Canada and US), Europe (Mainly EU), some parts of Asia, and Australia have developed and established educational systems.

Leaving the better part of the rest of the world pretty much without structured as we know it education.

Population in Africa and China alone represents a macrocosmic difference.

Besides, if you want to rip on American education, when I was in college there were more foreign students than Americans enrolled. I'm sure we can find others than can vouche for that.

I actually think it’s a fine title. It's very Bond, very Fleming. True Bond is not just about explosions and mindless vapid half naked women. And given the choices from CR and how well it worked I think Bonds moving in the right direction. This era of new Bond doesn’t seem to be (so far at least) pandering to the crowd or the lowest common denominator. So the retarded fuck who mops up the floors in the office who only wants to see tits and stuff go boom doesn’t get it. OH well, it’s not for him. Let him go watch Die Hard 4 or whatever the latest wrestler turned 'actor' flick is. God forbid someone learn new words. If they don’t know what it means pick up a goddamn dictionary. Now granted it might be a bit of a mouthful for some, but it’s not as bad as previous titles. Octopussy? Come on. And the title doesn’t have to be in the theme song.

AWFUL TITLE
by Barron34

It sounds nothing like a classic Bond title, regardless of the meaning, and regardless of the fact that Ian Fleming wrote it. Just because a title is authentic to the original author doesn't make it great. QUANTUM OF SOLACE sounds like the title of an obscure science fiction novella, not a Bond movie. And for those who are jazzed on the idea of a more "literary" Bond: Bond is action-adventure, plain and simple. We would like it to be "smart" action-adventure, but Bond is not Hemingway or F.Scott Fitzgerald. In sum, I don't like the title.

Oh check out Alonzo Mosley's posts too! What's he doing? Checking out anchorite's story at IMDB just like I did! He found a different name but he wasn't given a birthday...

Funny, anchorite didn't call Alonzo a creepy cyber-stalker... hmmm I guess you have to make nice with BSB to earn that!

Because I'm not a stalker I can't find the post where he said his 34th birthday was in the first week or so of May 2007, but this is enough to show that this CREEP, this FREAK, is a liar.

So Bond has little comfort for whatever reason. Probably meaning that he'll kill everyone involved with Vesper's death but it gives him little comfort.

No, it's not a good title for a movie but that's what it means.

...isn't an inherently bad title; just wrong for these times. With the average vocabulary getting smaller by the hour (or just replaced with pop-culture-fed slang) I think this title will sound like gibberish to most people. Or they will associate it with the TV show which represents their only knowledge of the use of the word "quantum". In light of the movie's apparent revenge storyline -- with Bond uncovering the tragic truth about Vesper from the first film and hunting down those responsible -- the title makes perfect sense. It's just not a title that evokes any association with things Bond for the average moviegoer in 2008.
