Quantum of Solace looks pretty badass, but that doesnt change the fact that the name sounds more like an emo band than a Bond movie. Recently, Daniel Craig revealed that it was all his idea.
The British actor rejected several potential names during a brainstorming session with producers – before insisting they go with the title of a short story by Bond creator Ian Fleming.
And he is adamant it was the right move.
Craig tells Britain’s GQ magazine, “I was involved in making the decision. Names were coming out, some ludicrous stuff was going back and forth – I can’t remember exactly, but you know the sort of thing: ‘The Blood On Your Face’.
“I knew I didn’t want ‘death’, ‘die’, ‘bleed’ or any of those things in the title.”
But the actor admits that in the great tradition of Bond movies, the film’s title is often meaningless.
He adds, “As soon as it came out, people were saying, ‘Ooh, it sounds like Harry Potter’. No, it’s Quantum of Solace. I was saying, ‘It’s a Bond title!’
“The name of a Bond film is not about anything. Live And Let Die? Octopussy? What does it mean? It means very little.” [ShowbizSpy]
Hard to say which is better. Seems to me like they just took the stupid in another direction. “Octopussy” is meaninglessly juvenile like a Poison album while “Quantum of Solace” is pretentiously meaningless like an At the Drive In side project. If they’re married to the meaningless aspect, I say go with meaninglessly awesome, like The Chainsaws of St. Tiger, or Sharktown Sexxxplosion.

The Blood on Your Face reminds me of when I earned

It’s a good thing that Daniel Craig stepped in and stopped anything ludicrous from becoming the title…
It looks like Ocho Cinco’s dick is pointed directly at Sarah Palin’s tits. Anyone surprised?

Yeah, what the fuck did Octopussy even mean? You know, aside from being the name of a major character and also the title of an Ian Fleming story. But aside from that, fuck’s a title?
“Modicum of Talent” <– porn version title. possibly?
Pretentious and meaningless? How ’bout Kierkegaarden State. Or did you mean just the title?
Other Bond titles that mean nothing to Craig:
License To Kill
You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
The Spy Who Loved Me
Dr. No
I plan on using a great deal of arrows today, in case anyone wondered.

I’m just glad that Craig didn’t try to rename the title character ‘James Blonde’.
I believe Craig’s list included “Casual Encounters” and “Strictly Platonic”.
“On Her Majesty’s Back Beneath the Bleachers”
Hey dicktuckers! What’d I miss yesterday? Goldfinger was a stupid title. There wasn’t even a character in the film with that name…wait. Daniel Craig is a fuckin’ idiot.
I think a good title would be “James Bond: Now With Naked Chicks”
Daniel Craig’s proposed title: “Octodick.”
“Goldfinger” was the most disappointing / psychologically scarring game that my uncle would make me play when he babysat.
Yeah, and how about that You Only Live Twice bullshite? Everybody knows you only live 3i times.
I am now writing the screenplay to Sharktown Sexxxplosion… a ultra-modern action homage to ’70s sharksploitation movies. A group of badass workers union leaders encounter trouble with a local political boss on the road to a secret union meeting in Mexico. The role of Cabbie, a rowdy cab driving renegade from South London is for Jason Statham. Cowboy, a chaps wearing steel-worker is obviously Samuel L. Jackson. Mihcael Madsen can reprise his role as ‘The Gent’ and I just need to write in David Carradine to get Q. to produce.
I went to Sharktown once. No one ever stood still.
I’ve seen a Japanese porn involving an Octopussy, but i didn’t see anything even remotely resembling James Bond in it.
This just in, Brett Ratner has announced that he is attached to the Sharktown Sexxxplosion project.
Fucking spammers.
I saw QUANTUMOFSOLACE’s profile on dateamillionaire.com.
So is a quantum some form of measurement? If so, do we know that it’s being used to measure the correct thing in this case? You know, kinda like making the Kessel Run in under 12 Parsecs?
Well, the definitely can’t use “Property Of A Lady” while Craig’s at the helm.
When I drink too much, I’d give anything for just an “Ounce of Dignity” or a “Moment of Pause”.
I’m just going to throw it out there, I think “Mark It Zero” would be an awesome Bond film.
Proposed Daniel Craig title: “Yuckypussy.”
“Quantum of Solace” isn’t that bad because it leaves you slightly confused as to what the hell is going on, as opposed to his original idea “If You Like Pina Coladas,” which leaves no confusion as to what’s going on.
The Mighty Feklahr understands that other alternate titles included: Conan the Librarian, Bowling For Burgers, Druids on Parade, Fun With Phlegm, Gandhi II, Those Darn Homos!, and Uncle Nutzy’s Clubhouse.
While it is true Daniel Craig is a pretty okay Bond, I still kind of want to beat the shit out of him.
I’m writing a screenplay for a George Lazenby biopic, and Roger Moore is in talks to star.
Pustule of Talent
Pretentious of Actors
Rectum of Love
Jack – *clap* . . . *clap* . . . *clap* . . .
new up!
Daniel Craig also said he thought sexual innuendos were stupid for Bond girl names so OLGA KURYLENKO’s name will be Butterfly Kisses.
“‘Quantum of Solace’ is pretentiously meaningless like an At the Drive In side project.”
Watchu talkin’ bout, FilmDrunk? The Mars Volta is better than titty residue.
