Oh. My. God. James absolutely obliterated the island tonight. The last time there was so much destruction, Obi Wan Kenobi had to take a seat on the Falcon after the Death Star said "hi and bye" to Leia's homeworld.
I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
Mmmm yeah, I can so imagine her stroking a pistol and whispering 'let's find ourselves a quantum of solace' in my ear.

'Quantum of Solace' is not a spy story and Bond appears only in the background. Told in the style of W Somerset Maugham, the tale has Bond attending a boring dinner party at the Government House in Nassau with a group of socialites he can't stand.
Bond makes an offensive remark after dinner when the other guests have left in order to stimulate conversation. This solicits a careful reply from the elderly Governor of The Bahamas who tells 007 a sad tale about a relationship between former civil servant Philip Masters stationed in Bermuda and air hostess Rhoda Llewellyn. After meeting aboard a flight to London the two eventually married but after a time Rhoda became unhappy with her life as a housewife. She then began a long open affair with the eldest son of a rich Bermudan family. As a result Masters' work deteriorated and he suffered a nervous breakdown. After recovering he was given a break from Bermuda by the governor and sent on an assignment to Washington to negotiate fishing rights with the US. At the same time the governor's wife had a talk with Rhoda just as her affair ended. Masters returned a few months later and decided to end his marriage, although he and Rhoda continued to appear as a happy couple in public. Masters returned alone to the UK, leaving a penniless Rhoda stranded in Bermuda, an act of which he'd been incapable of merely months earlier. But Masters never recovered emotionally, his vital spark never relit. The governor goes on to tell Bond how after a time Rhoda married a rich Canadian and seems to be happy, telling Bond that his dull dinner companions whom he found so boring were Rhoda and her new husband.
While the story does not include action elements, as other Fleming tales do, it attempts to posit that Bond's adventures pale in comparison with real life drama. Bond reflects that the lives of the people he passes somewhat superficial judgments upon can in fact hide poignant episodes.
Rumours about the name had grown after fans noticed that film studio Sony had bought the domain name quantumofsolace.com.
But co-producer Michael Wilson said the name had only been decided "a few days ago", adding the story's start point would be "literally an hour after the last film left off".
Asked if Casino Royale star Eva Green would appear in Quantum of Solace, co-producer Barbara Broccoli said: "There are no flashbacks in the film, but she's certainly on Bond's mind."
Director Marc Forster is in charge of work on the movie, which is due for release on 7 November
--this being said, the title fits perfectly: quantuum (ie time) of solace (comfort in misfortunte, distress....the guy just lost Vespa!).....and being that it starts an hour after the last film ended....would seem fitting. but i'm wondering how he finds that solace? perhaps it's pursuing the bad guys? pumping and dumping hot babes?
But perhaps the conclusion is that Bond is alone, that he won't ever be able find solace in wake of what just happened to him, and the title is only ironic? That would take the quantuum as 'miniscule amounts' definition.
just consider that the only persons he's close with is M, who treats him like a hunting dog, and Q.
I think those who are bashing the title could do with some information on why it's being used. My thoughts are that we're going to delve deeper into the Mind of Bond (like the new batman movies)...
and c'mon....is it all that worse than Octopussy and On Her Majesty's Secret Service? And it's at least more original than placing "Die" "Tommorow" "Never" "Day" in random sequences.

"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
Daniel Craig is awesome. If the movie sux it will be the direction or story that lets it down.
Look forward to this, im hoping the stunts aren't too over the top. Thats prob why i enjoyed Casino Royal so much.
Good movie.
But not as good as casino royale!
It was the direction of the story that let it down (as in there wasnt really one)
I too liked the subtlety of casino royale, and there was great action in this movie but there was just something missing from the story that made it an amazing movie.
Lack of story? Isn't there a villain? Bond gets over his broken heart, hardens the fuck up, and 'assisinates' the villain?
