This movie is going to rock. Casino Royale was awesome and I think this one will probably top it

Good article, but it's still a god-awful title.

"Quantum of Solace" ?!?

I don't care if that it the title of an Ian Fleming story, it still sounds like the title of a poem a goth kid writes about loneliness in his diary.

Casino Royale is a perfect title for a Bond film.
Quantum Of Solace sounds so ridiculous.

I can already hear the snickers in the theaters after they show the title after its trailer.

Although the title is a little out there, it shouldn't bother anyone that much. All that matters is the plot, who's the lady bond gets with and most importantly, who bond is. We can trust that the story will be good because Casino Royal might have been the finest bond yet. The leading lady is hot, and most importantly, Craig is still bond. They could call it anything they want and i'll still be there.

Wow, that is one of the lamest plots ever in a James Bond film. I mean, c'mon, controlling the water supply? Tomorrow Never Dies had a more intrigueing "bad guy" plot than this.

"an astronomical observatory located outside of the port city of Antofagasta"

Say it out loud.

Antofagasta!

That'll be the title. Trust me. The bond girl will be played by Sascha Baron Cohen.

So looking forward to this one. Daniel Craig really restored my faith in this franchise. Anyway, can't wait to see the new Omega he'll be sporting.

Quantum of Sore *** LOL, I don't care who you are that's funny, makes the title totally worthwhile for that joke alone.

Also, Where's the Charlton Heston death notification? The man was Moses AND Ben Hur. This is big time Hollywood news people. If a republican dies in the liberal media does anybody hear it? :) Just kidding I know it's the weekend. Just trying to start trouble.

Silly title yes. But Craig was amazing in CR and the movie still thrills me when I watch it now. It hasn't gotten old at all and revitalized a waning franchise. Can't wait for this one, glad to see they have picked up right where CR left off. And listen, 'green' themes is all the rage now so we have to deal with it coming up again and again in whatever Hollywood cooks up for a long time. It ain't going anywhere.

Is this needed? Like we don't know what these words mean? I think I have a dictionary handy... maybe I could smack you across the head with it. (=

I know of course, your greatness, that you know what the words mean. But some people, such as I, have a limited vocabulary due to the fact the short bus I took to school had a low ceiling. So when we went over bumps . *BAM! sleepy time.

Sounds good, so far, but keep this sh#t grounded, Bond production people. Much as I actually hate to use the phrase, 'KEEP it REAL.' That's why CR worked, because you actually were almost able to believe that THIS dude can do THIS sh#t when THIS other sh#t happens.
That's what had gone wrong with the franchise (again) is that they started blowing their wads on the sets and doodads and gimmicks to the point where it was a cartoon. Brosnan started looking pretty d#mned silly, fighting with the dude in the lazer room in the f#cking ICE palace (?!), parachuting away from the Sun satellite (which they already have done as a plot device, by the way..)
Keep it Dirty. Ugly. Real.
And then you got my money.

Tomorrow Never Dies was a cool idea. Rupert Murdoch starts World War 3 in order to get the first scoop for Fox News. Brilliant and twisted.

I agree with you, TombstoneLawDog. A realistic, smart, bad *** Bond is what I'm going to the theater for. The title doesn't figure into it.

Wilson and Broccoli are finally getting back to what Bond's about and must hold their heads in their hands when they look back at the horrendous Brosnan years/the dark times when they decided to give the audiences what they want. Big mistake. Hopefully the producers won't try to stuff too much action into this movie. Believe me I love my action scenes but four good well executed set pieces tends to hit the spot. I can't wait for this!

why is everybody complaining about the title... the title means that bond is searching for comfort after the death of vesper... i think that this movie will have alot of action but the main focus will be on the emotional state of bond... this film will be explosive yet emotional.. maybe oscar caliber???? nah, but bafta may acknoledge this..
