VIDEO: Ooh, There’s A Quantum Of Solace Teaser-Blip Online
Then buzz it up

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.
The new James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace has got a lot riding on it. After Casino Royale effectively reinvented James Bond by giving him blonde hair, making him waddle around in a pair of girl's bikini bottoms and ripping off The Bourne Identity at every possible turn, Quantum Of Solace will be where we see if the new formula works for more than one movie.
The movie's certainly had a difficult birth. If it wasn't bad enough that Quantum Of Solace has got such a bad title that it'd be less embarrassing to go to a cinema naked and quack like a duck for an hour than to actually ever use its full title, production has also been beset by everything from crazy South American mayors to nasty car crashes to Amy Winehouse's drug problems to - worst of all - rampant Pacino speculation.
But enough about that - what's Quantum Of Solace actually like? Well, now we know, thanks to a ten-second Quantum Of Solace teaser preview that's turned up online.
It's basically a compilation of all the action sequences from the movie slammed into a blip and presented to you in glorious jump jump run run stairs throw boat walk drive fall table kick stairs jump boat-style. Ready?
Seriously, how awesome does that look? What do you mean you don't know because it's just a mishmash of unconnected clips set to vaguely pounding music and you can make any film look good by doing that even The Love Guru? Honestly, there's no pleasing some people, is there?
Obviously there's a lot missing from the Quantum Of Solace teaser trailer - like the plot and all the interminable scenes of Daniel Craig staring moodily into space thinking "Hey, look how different I am to Pierce Brosnan" - but at least we know that at one point James Bond falls down an atrium attached to a piece of rope. At least we know that.

Seriously Mr. Heritage, it’s obviously past time you move out of your grandmother’s basement and get laid. Keep your pent up self-loathing over your failures and sexual frustrations out of your morbidly critical movie previews.
You are welcome.

[...] It certainly works better than the original teaser. [...]
