I liked the last one.
I've always enjoyed the movie feedback on BP, in part because I can put their reviews into context with their personalities. Some unknowingly provide ringing endorsements with their poo-poo'ing.

Yeah, that song isn't too good. Pretty forgettable. I have pretty much every album involving Jack White and really couldn't get into Icky Thump. I agree though that it sounds like it would fit in with those songs, but that's not such a great thing for me.

I thought the last flick with the Chris Cornell was the best Bond theme I've heard since Live and Let Die.

I don't watch for the theme song though, and I'm still looking forward to this movie.

Like:

Casino Royale was a hugely successful return to a darker, grittier Bond in tune with Ian Fleming?s original vision. Its sequel is even more of a throwback ? to the extent that one major character?s death scene in Quantum Of Solace is a direct visual quote from Goldfinger?s most iconic shot. It?s all deliberate

Gemma Arterton: ?I couldn?t move, I couldn?t see, I couldn?t breathe or hear because the oil went in my ears. It was unpleasant, but it?s something I?ll always remember and it will be an iconic part of the film?

I think I'm in love...not because she had the extra digits. She is amazingly hot. Wow.

New Bond Girl Proud of Her 'Little Oddity'


by Jonathan Crow | October 7 , 2008


Bond girls have long been exceptional women. From Ursula Andress to Halle Berry, they have each embodied the feminine ideal of their particular time. Gemma Arterton, the statuesque stunner who plays Agent Fields in next month's Quantum of Solace, has proven herself to be exceptional not only for her English Rose beauty, but also because she was born with six fingers on each hand.
"It's my little oddity that I'm really proud of," she said to Esquire magazine. "It makes me different." Different indeed. The condition, called Polydactyly, occurs in 1 of every 500 births.

Quantum of Solace to run uncontested in US opening weekend

You know there has been a seismic shift in the global marketplace when a studio tentpole can ring up $200 million before its U.S. bow, says the Hollywood Reporter.

That's the likelihood with this weekend's lone domestic opener, the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" from Sony and MGM, which registered $180 million internationally by Tuesday and was ringing up foreign coin at a daily clip of $10 million this week. The Daniel Craig starrer has been playing -- oh has it been playing -- in dozens of countries worldwide before its domestic debut in a major reversal of the industry norm.

Sony is handling physical distribution of "Solace" worldwide, but MGM was a 50-50 participant in its $200 million production costs. So the partners crafted the unusual global strategy jointly, expanding on the franchise's traditional U.K.-first rollout to unspool the 22nd Bond film in an unprecedented 60 foreign territories before its Friday release in the U.S. and Canada.

The domestic rollout includes showtimes at 12:01 a.m. Friday in more than 1,600 locations.

"The Bond movies belong to the world," Sony domestic distribution president Rory Bruer said. "They're popular around the world, so getting the dates right -- whether domestic or elsewhere -- was particularly important."

Initially, "Solace" was to bow Nov. 7 in the U.S. and Canada, with only the U.K. and a handful of markets getting the film first. But when Warner Bros. bounced "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" from November to July, executives at Sony and MGM decided to hold back the Bond film one week domestically to open "Solace" closer to the lucrative Thanksgiving period.
