Did you knock on the barbed wire before entering this thread? :(

I will post my review after I've seen the film. I did the same sort of silly gag last time with Casino Royale. :)

Now who can argue with that?

I think we're all grateful for Bondian.

Not only is it authentic wanker Bond fan jibberish, but it expresses a stupidity rarely seen on these forums. I'm just glad all these new members and young posters on these boards were here to read it.

The time has come to act now and act quickly.

I'm leaving this thread.

I was going to post a full review, but it's hardly worth it as most honest dislikes about this grim fest has already been posted. Also. I'd hate for my previous love for Bond be questioned by a bunch of so called fans of this series.

Forget Bourne. Forget Bond. This is a mish-mash of reality tv show boredom that plagues almost every channel.

Quite frankly. I sincerely hope we see the last of this series.

Gone are the days we could go to the cinema/theatre and be exhilarated, thrilled and enjoy an adventure film that was far flung from everyday life. 'Quantum of Grimace' is like an 'Eastenders' "special" (which is never done as well as regular episodes).

It will be interesting to see how many friends I lose over this post. :) :(

Cheers,


Ian

Sorry you were disappointed, Ian. I'm really sorry for all those who didn't like QoS, it must be tough... I hope you'll like it better on second viewing, maybe (I honestly think it's a film that gains to be seen again).
Cheers!

None.

We'll just add you to the list of CBn penyatas...you know, those stuffed fat donkies that float above the little Mexican kids who bash the thing with a big stick while blindfolded in an effort to rip out the candy and sweets and goodies.

You've now been added to my CBn penyata list...along with stamper.

Now...where the :) is Chula!!!

Don't care for the keyboard, but snapping off my fingers with a wire cutter was a little disconcerting I must say. :*:

I may rustle up a review later. :(

After reading the positive and negative reviews, I decided to see my doctor on why I didn't enjoy Quantum of Solace as much as I did Casino Royale.

After a thorough examination of my body (including my dangly bits), his diagnosis was, that I should post the following Monty Python sketch.

Caution. This post contains SPOILERS and other kinds of underwear.

Okay. So I do not offend anyone. I thought I should just send up my own review.

Here's my review brought to you by "Basil Fawlty Knocking Shop Ltd."

As you know, you can get a first class meal in this fancy hotel. But, sometimes (typically) things can go wrong. Your waiters name is Basil, and he'll be satisfying your taste-buds with some mouthwatering dishes (if you're lucky to get a tasty plate with no food on it). However. Basil is on his own, and he's not in a good mood (naturally).

Now. Let's see what's in store for a seven course Italian meal washed down with some wine. The dish ordered is what I would usually expect from a Bond movie. The dish received are my thoughts on that particular dish (scene) in this movie.

The Pre-Title Sequence:

Antipasto ordered: Garlic Mushroom's.

Antipasto received: Franticly Cut Broccoli in Lime Greengrass.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Title Sequence:

Soup ordered: Mediterranean Tomato.

Soup received: Mashed Crab in Screeching Snail Brine.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Action:

Pasta ordered: Spaghetti Bolognese.

Pasta received: Thinly Cut Chesse With Craggy Quantum of White Sauce.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Story:

Entrée ordered: Asparagus With Pine Nuts and Butter.

Entrée received: Impervious Haggis Wading in Strikingly Coloured Classic Scott's Broth.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Baddies:

Salad ordered: Iceberg Lettuce With Hot Volcano of Peperoncini Sotto Aceto.

Salad received: Limp and Undercooked Roast Turkey in a Quantum of Greene Sauce.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Allies:

Cheese trolley ordered: Gorgonzola, Parmigiano Reggiano, Romano With Dry Biscuits.

Cheese trolley received: Dry Jack, Red Richards Leicester, Stinking Bishop and Pasteurised Processed Chesse Forster Blu.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Locations:

Dessert ordered: Fresh Glazed Mixed Fruit With Mascarpone.

Dessert received: Vanilla Ice-Cream With Dusting of Icing Sugar.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


The Music:

Brandy ordered: Cognac.

Brandy received: 30 Year Old Fined and Indifferently Blended, with an Overdose of Bon Bois Barry.

Major "papers arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Fawlty "not yet, Major, no"


Overall culinary experience:

Bill/Check expected: Delightful meal with some aromatic well balanced ingredients. Bill/Check was merely a monetary token over such a grand display of culinary delights that would appeal to the majority of splendid food lovers.

Bill/Check received: A rather bland and grim reproduction of what one would expect from this size Bill/Check. None of the items on the menu have been available due to one man who decided to replace the usual staff with himself to make a good impression.

Overall conclusion. If you enjoy what you know you like, and like what you know. Why waste the time in taking second best and change what you know that works into a new direction that could work or not? Or, if you're lucky, works for a few.

Winston Churchill once said. "Never in the Strawberry Field's of human Quantum of Solace conflict was so much owed to EON by so many to so few".

Wasn't it Adolf Hitler who once said just before Thunderball was released; "Whoever lights the torch of the EON Productions in Europe can wish for nothing but chaos. We, however, live in the firm conviction our times will see not the decline but the renaissance of the West. It is our proud hope and our unshakable belief Daniel Craig can make an imperishable contribution to their great work.
"

Now. Who can argue with that. Now only was it authentic gibberish. :)

Can someone call me a taxi?

Cheers,


Ian :(

At least I have hair, and do not have to stroke a pussy to feel hirsute. :)

Bond to Blofeld "does the stroking of some pussy really compensate for having no hair?" lol
