Um… it's been six hours; are you going to explain your opinion on how Solace is better than Skyfall? :-/

Come on. You have to have a more imaginative title than that! :-P

Interesting… can you go into detail as to why? I'd like to hear your opinions. :-)

Never mind that Connery was slowly turning into a butterball, by this point; there's a reason he wore a grey sweatsuit in Twice, and it has nothing to do with ninjas.

The exposition at the docks explains the backstory of the movie's characters; it's needed. It's also a nicely wry look at the modern powers of the world; I appreciated that.

PREACH, my brother. PREACH the good word about Quantum of Solace! :-D

Thank you, Crimson. I had had a long falling-out with a friend on that site over politics, especially due to his having a rather rabidly neoconservative friend who wouldn't stop being a prick to me. We patched things up after I got kicked off, but I haven't been back to that site since.

But killing the Bank, and thus creating the busts, was entirely Jackson's fault. Quincy Adams had empathy; Jackson was just a bitter asshole.

Quantum of Solace is a damn fine movie.

It IS the gods' balls.

Jodie Foster also keeps working with Mel Gibson and Roman Polanski. Which says a lot.

A bit like Jimmy Savile, no?

I'd keep neither Jackson. The Bank was needed; when Jackson killed it, the whole damn country went under, and became subject to a near-century-long uncontrollable boom-and-bust sequence that didn't cease until the Federal Reserve was created.

I see Rasputin as being more of a "shuffle-'n'-jiver", myself. ;-)

Ian Fleming. When the racism creeps out, it's horrifying, because his writing style and characters just flow and crackle, and then… that. :-(

I thought you were a right-winger, @avclub-63706c2231765ca840e9a60a76fae00a:disqus?

*BOOM*

Poor woman. R.I.P. :-(

A Reds musical, then? ;-)

Don't tell her what to do! She will never be yours.
