I’ll teach you to ridicule my underbite, you jerks.
Quantum of Solace took number one at the box office over the weekend, which wasn’t surprising considering it was the only film opening in wide release. Even so, the $70 million start outperformed expectations and was the biggest opening Bond of all time (insert “Pussy Galore” joke here).
“Quantum of Solace,” with Daniel Craig returning as Bond for the first direct sequel in the spy franchise, pulled in nearly $30 million more over opening weekend than its predecessor, 2006′s “Casino Royale,” according to studio estimates Sunday. The debut also topped the previous opening-weekend record for a Bond flick, $47 million for 2002′s “Die Another Day.” [CNN - full top ten after the jump]
Unfortunately, as is common for sequels, the reviews haven’t been all that great. I still haven’t had the chance to see it, people have been emailing me all weekend just to tell me how much they hate it. Look people, I value your opinions, but not nearly as much as I value pictures of your pets wearing costumes. In fact, if you want me to care about your movie review, you should probably just get a picture of a cat that looks like Hitler and type your review into his thought bubble, with the subject line, “Banjo thought The Changeling was preachy!”.

British people suck at drive-bys.
Can we get the director out here to make up some bullshit about how all the reviews are so polarizing that anybody who didn’t like it wasn’t really supposed to have seen it in the first place?
As you can see, the new Aston Martins come complete with a driver’s side glory hole.
Marc Forster: “Well you have to understand with such polarizing reviews… (dives into a pile of money, rolls around)”
All the bullet holes in the dashboard came from Bond’s gun. After the door got ripped off, there was only so much hearing “The Door Is Ajar” that the super-agent could take.
Looks like someone was upset that
the Mets missed the playoffs againManchester U lost to Arsenal.I havent’ seen it yet, but I’m hoping it does insanely well and is horrible. That way, we can get the drunkroaches in here leaving shit like “Yeah, I thought Bond was horrible, but not as horrible as everybody else thought it was; aren’t I unique?”
New up.
I used to have acat that looked like Hitler, but i had to send him to live in Brazil with his cousin Mengele cat and haven’t heard from him since.
The main problem I had with it is that it doesn’t “feel” like a Bond movie until about 45 minutes in, and feels like it’s trying to find it’s feet until that point.
The new director is again a fan of frenetic, seizure inducing editing and quick cut cinematography, and the pacing just feels a bit off. The villain is laaaaaaaaame, Bad teeth, the appearance of spinal bifida, and looking skeazy even when dressed in a Tuxedo are apparently his villainly traits.
I’m a Bond whore, so I found plenty to like, and though it’s nowhere near as good as “Casino Royale ” it’ definitely a “The World is not Enough” either
Why they didn’t keep the same guy that directed the first one, or why he didn’t want to, I guess we’ll never know.
Probably would have been better if he had.
“it’s definitely not” that sentence should read.
goddamn no edit button bullshit
