Yeah, meant to say in the OP that I knew it's utterly unrelated to the short story title in any way, shape or form... fails to reduce its awesomeness much in my eyes.
The behind the scenes cliplet basically says 2xaction than Casino, let's just hope that they don't end up down the route of action/gadget parody... but I'm quietly confident. Then again, Goldeneye was a strong start to the Brosnan franchise. :erm:
and I'm not kidding, Quantum of Solace sounds like a fucking Original Series episode with Spock going off to fucking Vulcan or some shit.

I don't know what the crap is the deal with that lolarious title, but I'm watching this.

I'd actually prefer the title Bond 22, but if they come up with a better one I'd like to hear it.

They say they're going back to the classic Bond formula and humor. Color me unimpressed.
This paragraph from an "Out of the Blue" segment in Blue's News pretty much sums up my feelings exactly.

Dark Horizons offers more details on Quantum of Solace (thanks Ant). I am greatly looking forward to this, though I am disturbed by the characterization of Casino Royale as a "change of pace." This is not because it wasn't, as it was a clear departure from the earlier Bond films, but because of the implication that upcoming movies will be different. They even say Bond 22 will be more of a "classical Bond movie. There's a touch of Ken Adam (the production designer behind the giant villain lairs of the early Bond films) and '60s spy movie." This has me recalling it wasn't long after Tim Burton's Batman attempted to return a darker and somewhat more realistic feel to the character that Robin reared his wimpy head, and next thing we were watching Batgirl and Bat-cycles and the whole mess (one more movie and it would have said "POW!" on the screen every time someone got punched). Now I'm worried it's inevitable that we'll soon have Bond spewing puns as he runs around a fortress hidden inside a volcano while a heavily accented voice counts down to the world's imminent destruction.
T minus seven minutes and counting...

Am I really the only person in the world who loves that about Bond movies? :|

yeh the movies are great, but the fleming books are insanely good. Take Goldfinger for example, theres a whole chapter about a round of golf for fucks sake.
