So does Bond get solace from Quantum or is there two meanings to the title...how do you read the title now...the way Fleming wrote it or the way the movie turned out using Quantum as a name and does the title make sense now?

Screenwriter Paul Haggis, (who was also asked to direct QOS), didn't approve of the title.
As far back as when it was just wishful fan thinking, I've never been too keen on the title either.
Same deal with "James Bond in New York."
"Risico" will work tho.
One wonders if the producers' back up choice was the same as QOS's opening credits number, "Another Way to Die"?
While not altogether bad, AWTD is particularly generic and cliche coming on the heels of TND and DAD.

I don't see the point of throwing random titles out saying X would be a good title, Y wouldn't.
You write the story first, then figure out what a good title would be to sum it up. If you are one of the people who keep going on about hating the title QoS let's hear your better suggestions that would fit the film.

They used QoS as it works with the plot.
Great.
Still sounds laughably pompous to this humble fan.

As long as I've belonged to these forums, fans were always debating the pros and cons of prospective Bond titles. QOS was mentioned quite often, tho I never thought it would actually be used. Much like the working title, "Beyond the Ice", which seems to be trotted out every year or so.

Well, the guy who wrote the story, the much revered Paul Haggis, thinks the title stinks.
So there.
