Quantum of Solace, get your XBOX ready.

Just kidding, but it sounds better as a weapon in World of Warcraft than it does as the follow up movie to Casino Royal, which I might add rocked.

Page Six says, Although the title may sound strange, it is actually steeped in spy lore. Quantum of Solace is the title of a short story in For Your Eyes Only, a 1960 collection of short stories written by Bond creator, Ian Fleming.
Luckily, it seems that the plot of the short story — James attends a boring dinner party with a group of socialites he can’t stand and after making an offensive remark is told a story about the love affair between a former civil servant and a flight attendant — has been completely nixed from the film.

What “spy lore” is it “steeped” in? My God Hollywood really finds itself to be super important.I liked Casino Royal, but I really haven’t ever gotten into any of the Bond installations and I doubt this is any different. Plus, I can’t imagine ordering 2 tickets to see “Quantum of Solace.”

Ok, 1 ticket. It would be 1 ticket. Screw off.
