Bond 22 : Quantum of Solace


Recommended Posts

I actually think the best Bond movie was, "You Only Live Twice" with the space station, man that was a classic :p

I thought that was Moonraker with the station. Only Live Twice was the one with the fake volcano in Japan, where they were stealing american and russian spaceships, don't remember if they ever had a space station in that one..space ship yes.

I think I also read a romour that the story could be similar to, or based on the same story as For Your Eyes Only.

Edit: Correction: It might be based on a short story included in For Your Eyes Only.

For Your Eyes Only was the last good Bond movie Roger Moore did. He should of left and that high note, instead of the rubbish Octopussy and A View To A Kill. :x

A View To A Kill had awesome music (Duran Duran), and Timoty Dalton needed a little bit of time so he could play The Living Daylights.

And I think I'm the only one that enjoyed On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I loved the music in it.

View to Kill was a good film and as you said the music is amazing.

I Agree, i thought casino royale was boring not a patch on the Bourne Ultimatum.

i disagree... i think Casino Royale (9/10) was FAR BETTER than Bourne Ultimatum (7/10).... and still even better than the best Bourne film, which is Bourne Identity.

i assume your basing it on action? ... cause action wise sure Bourne has MORE (but that jerky camera really sucks in it :( ) but the character itself, i think daniel craig's bond is far more interesting than matt damon's Bourne 'character' in general.

and like i said before (in my opinion) i think the only stand out Bourne film of the three is the first one (Bourne Identity) which i gave a 8/10.

i like the cold feel of craig's bond character quite a bit... thats what ultimately made the movie so great for me besides the general plot and the way it was shot etc which helped it quite a bit to... with the darker feel to it vs previous bonds (which i still like :) ).

i guess the people who dont like it... must not see that or they just dont care for that sorta bond.... o well nothing i say will change your mind since you just dont see this like the majority must see.

i like ALL the bond films myself... when i was younger i never liked Timothy Dalton's 007 character but when i got a little older i like him now.... you might as well say out of all the bonds (Connery/Lazenby/Moore/Dalton/Brosnan/Craig) that Craigs bond is the closest to Dalton's bond character... where there more into the brute force/cold blooded stuff, than the smooth stuff like Brosnan/Moore etc was.... i think connery had a good balance between the cold side and the smooth side ;)

p.s. @ sundayx .... nice logo you made ;)

Personally i see Matt Damon as jason bourne whereas Craig Daniel just isn't bond in my eyes.

As long as the movie has some kind of laser in it (laser pointer, laser gun, lightsaber, laser mouse, laser surgery, whatever), I'll be happy.

Also a suitably scarred one eyed madman and some nice ###### :p

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of the name. It just doesn't have that Bond ring to it! Also, the new direction in which the Casino Royale took was definitely a move in the right direction - the one think I loved about Casino Royale was that it was serious.

Anyway, regarding the girls; excellent choices. Especially Ms. Arterton!

Looking forward to it. Casino Royale wasn't my favorite but it was fairly good. Once you get over the fact it wasn't a typical bond it was quite enjoyable. To be honest the last James Bond before Casono Royale I really liked, and coincidently my favorite, was GoldenEye. I thought Pierce was great in that film but after that his movies really went down hill (not really his fault but I can't say I overly enjoyed them). And to that end I think Golden Eye was probably the closest Pierce Bronsan ever got to the character Daniel Craig played. Sure it wasn't as serious, but I think the movie in general was more serious than his later outing's and also was alot less invested in over the top gadgets which to me made it more plausable in a sense and fun to watch.

I think the more serious approach works. The problem with trying to be overly fun is that quite a few bond films get it wrong and go too far. The one before Casino was a perfect example what with the stupid igloo temple and a giant mirror the size or 20 football fields that they put secretly into space. I think the more serious bond lends itself to a more interesting character and potentially one you care more about than some of the more goofy bonds of past.

I'm glad that Casino wasn't all cars and gadgets but. We've had 21 films of that and I personally find 95% of car chases really dull. I just dont think a big pile of metal moving about is anywhere near as exciting as a chase outside of a car where alot more is possible mobility wise. I'd rate the chase at the start of Casino Royale above any car sequence I ever saw in any other bond movie. I duno, it's likely just me but the car chases never did it for me.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
