I think it blows away anything done before.

 

No contest. Best Bond song ever!

 

Look, I think that essentially captures Bond at his very... something.

 

It's still better than Sheryl Crow.

 

^tru dat.

 

That was five different flavors of incredible right there! I've been considering seeing it (my first full Bond movie), but now I am convinced.

 

"Quantum of Solace... I've written it down..."

 

Awesome.

 

That was awesome.

The singer sounded a lot like David Bowie...

 

Isn't she the one who sang a Bond theme containing phrases like "I'm in a puddle on the floor"?

 

Here I thought this was serious.

I interrupted a Yanni song for that!

Rob+ // seriously!

 

The Something of Boris. I like it. That will be the next Bond flick.

 

"Quantum of Solace... I don't know what that means."

 

I would have to go reread the short story, but I believe Quantum of Solace is a big latinized nothing that means "make-up sex."

And, in line with the themesong:

 

I always took 'quantum of solace' to mean 'a little bit of comfort' or something like that.

 

Again, I'd have to pull out the short story. Maybe if I trek into my library tomorrow, I'll post the condensed definition. Make-up sex. Just go with it.

 

rofl - That's just hilarious!

 

"Quantum" means the smallest amount of something; the study of subatomic particles and such is called quantum physics. "Solace" means, obviously, comfort.

In the short story it's used as a term to define the one thing that every human relationship needs in order to survive: a tiny amount of compassion. Once it's gone, the relationship is dead.

 

And because what she did to him was so heinous, he wasn't interested in make-up sex, and thus the Quantum of Solace in their relationship was extinguished.
