Yes, I'd prefer if they didn't name Quantum either. They just needed a short scene with someone (M? Mathis?) to explain the "quantum of solace"--perhaps in the "uncontrollable rage" scene. Dench could have pulled off that phrase...title, chec…

Vesper was in love with her boyfriend (CR)...and apparently it was not reciprocated (QoS). All that tells Bond in QoS is that Vesper was duped by her boyfriend and Quantum. But QoS doesn't change anything about his relationship with Vesper...cer…

He already knows why Vesper betrayed him (her boyfriend was blackmailing her), and that she tried to save him (she cut a deal to deliver the money in Venice to save his life), from his conversation with M in CR. Significantly, Bond does *not* kno…

On the other hand, Vesper removed the necklace and made a deal with the organization to spare his life in CR. She didn't feel like she could save herself from the organization, though, so she killed herself. So there's evidence in CR that Bond d…

LALD: Kananga's line about the phone company being a monopoly "for years to come." The US government broke up the phone monopoly in 1982. TND: "Consider him slimed" is almost certainly a Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky reference.

Rog is very aggressive with Maud Adams in both of their onscreen encounters.

Proof of vaccination is required indoors in movie theaters in NYC. I don't know what percentage of New Yorkers are anti-vaxxers, but as of today the vaccination rate is 56%. Let's say 40% refuse to get the vaccine...that's a lot of people who …

Mendes notoriously shoots a lot of footage, so the editing is key. Compare SF to SP.

Limit the story to one location after the PTS and London briefing.

For symmetry, I'd love to see 3. But realistically, I think 5. No way Eon is going to invest all that money and PR in an actor and let him go after 3.

Maybe it should have been something like: Scaramanga makes millions assassinating political figures, etc. Then when the countries come looking for him at his island getaway, he uses the laser golden gun as a defense? But it's up to Bond to stealth…

LOL. Great summary. In a way, it's like QoS--the plan just doesn't feel big or villainous enough. And QoS had the same problem with the double meaning of the title, and it doesn't quite work there, either.
