Harry Potter has a lot to answer for - now he's magically caused Quantum of Solace to be pushed back. Not content with ruining the dreams and emotions of a billion little kids and a lot of adults who probably should know better, Daniel Radcliffe and company's decision to move the new Harry Potter film to next summer has prompted Sony to push the upcoming James Bond flick - the one with the funny name - back. Alright, so it's only a week, with the film being pushed from November 7th to the 14th, but still - come on. Give us a break here. The reason for the move was given as a simple one: 'we want more money'. Technically not what they actually said, but 'moving it closer to the Thanksgiving/Christmas market' is pretty transparent when it comes to reasoning.
El goodo and bado. Folded: Big name celebrities on meth! (check ‘em out!) Conan the Barbarian Special Edition on DVD for £3 (totally worth it for Arnie’s commentary: “How did I get billing over James Earl Jones?â€) Those loveable brothel ladies from the W.I (they did have fun ...
Oh, we're so disappointed. The Bond theme for Quantum of Solace has been announced, and it's not even called Quantum of Solace. How rubbish is that? We'd even written a demo called Quantum Of Solace in case we were asked - it goes "Hello there, I'm a quantum of solace/ I want to buy a blouse, can you direct me to Wallis?" - but no. You had to go and call the Quantum of Solace theme Another Way To Die, didn't you. Also, the Quantum of Solace theme tune is going to be a duet between Alicia Keys and Jack White from The White Stripes, so it's bound to sound like an angry little witch trapped in an upturned metal dustbin. And Alicia Keys, naturally. Just so you know.
You might have been wondering what the new James Bond move Quantum Of Solace will be like - surely it can't be as bad as the title, right?
Well, get ready to find out. The first footage from Quantum Of Solace has appeared online, and it gives a dead-on indication of what the finished movie will be like - it'll be ten seconds long and mostly about James Bond trying to kick a man's jaw off.
OK, so the online footage of Quantum of Solace isn't particularly revelatory - in fact watching it feels a little bit like listening to a toddler's breathless description of a petrol station blowing up - but we do have the video after the jump, and it's not something that any ADD sufferers who haven't got bored of endless parkour scenes in movies yet will want to miss.
Don't worry if you can't stand the fact that the new James Bond movie is called A Quantum Of Solace - turns out that God's not such a fan of it either. That's because, just a few weeks after a crazy South American mayor drove his car through a set during filming in a vicious rage, a James Bond stuntman has accidentally plunged a £120,000 Aston Martin off a road into a massive Italian lake and knackered the bastard to pieces. What's more, it's been reported that the Aston Martin was the only one available to the crew for the film. That leaves A Quantum Of Solace in a bit of a quandary - it could shell out for a new one at huge expense to the movie, or it could patch together a workaround. Which isn't too bad, because frankly we've waited too long to see 007 bring down SPECTRE with a Segway, some rollerblades, an Oyster card and a hotwired forklift truck.
British mayors have the best job in the world - getting paid to wear some Mr T-style bling while women's institute members give you slices of cake? How is that not brilliant?
But Chilean mayors have it even better. Not only do they get the requisite bling/cake combo - we assume - but they also get to try and mow down iconic movie characters in their mayoral 4x4. On purpose.
Don't believe us? Then look at Carlos Lopez, mayor of Baquedano. He's been arrested for driving a car at James Bond star Daniel Craig during a scene as some form of protest. Lopez was either protesting about the heavy-handed nature of the Bond crew during filming or because he just thinks that A Quantum Of Solace is a really, really shitty name. Either way - mad props, you mental South American public official.
Think that A Quantum Of Solace is a crappy name for a James Bond title? Perhaps it'll make more sense when it's bellowed by a 67-year-old shouting midget with no real sense of subtlety.
You guessed it - Al Pacino is going to star in the new James Bond movie A Quantum Of Solace.
Thank God for that - after spending weeks fretting over the quality of the new James Bond film, it looks like all our fears were misplaced. Now that Al Pacino has signed up for a role in A Quantum Of Solace, we're confident that it'll be at least as good as Ocean's Thirteen. Phew, right?
