James Bond 22 is called Quantum of Solace.

I wonder how they're going to fit that title into a song, that is if the title even makes it into a song? (It could just be like Octopussy or Casino Royale, where the movie's title is nowhere to be heard in the song.)

This one will also have two Bond girls (and this marks the first time a Bond girl is younger than me!)...I wonder which one will be the bad one?

I'm sure one of them is going to be bad.

And Casino Royale had three (if you count the villain's girlfriend, who Bond never bangs).

You know they're never going to stop making Bond movies as long as they can squeeze some profit out of it!

Now really, do you actually think this is the first time a James Bond title has had unrevealing titles?

What does For Your Eyes Only, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, or Die Another Day have to do with the movie, other than their respective theme songs and a brief utterance of the title somewhere in the movie.

And did the title Octopussy tell us anything about the movie when the title was first announced? I personally think the film's theme song should have been about octopussies and not all time highs.

EDIT: And James Bond films will never stop. They're not really a series, they're more like a genre with certain rules to define it. And like a movie genre, it is adaptable with the times, and therefore, it is more successful. Bond is timeless.

I really don't understand the title. What does that mean?
Such a title probably is no real asset in non-English speaking countries...

I highly doubt Octopussy was, either.

"Oh, James, why can't nice boys be more like you?"
"Because then they'd be bad."

The only time I've ever liked a line in a Bond movie. I liked Roger Moore though.

I'm usually not this blunt... but that's a stupid name. It tells us nothing about the movie!

These people just need to hang it up.

Yeah, it's almost as stupid as "Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull". Goddammit that movie better be a lot better than the title.

Nothing is as stupid as "Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" though. That takes the cake.

They should have called it Indiana Jones and the Sorcerer's Stone or Indiana Jones and the City of the Living, oh wait, that's Cairo.
