Good points. I personally wonder how Bond manages to change into those expensive tailored clothes between flights to different countries, gun battle after gun battle, when he doesn’t appear to be carrying any luggage. In the film, there are references to his insomnia–can a person really go around the world shooting, fist-fighting, jumping between buildings and parachuting from a crashing plane without sleep? What, no broken bones? What about jet lag?

I saw your Mac Notebook in the pic it is really great but may I know how long have you been using your mac? I just want to know the point of view of a responsible mac user… well I consider you responsible…I asked that because I am planning to buy a mac notebook and I just want if it’s worth the cost.

Amy Winehouse didn’t decline. It was Mark Ronson who backed out because Amy can’t sort herself out with her drug problems, as chotda pointed out.

The Alicia Keys/Jack White theme song is not very good. Chris Cornell’s in the last one IMO is better.

Amy Winehouse was rejected because she was on drugs.

I’m a fan of Jack White, but while it was a pretty good Jack White song (and hey, I like it), it wasn’t too much of a Bond song. Too much consideration was given to White, who is relatively unknown and regarded as too “eccentric” for pop/mainstream rock, ergo, big franchise movie soundtracks. It would’ve been salvageable if Amy W. did the vocals (why Alicia Keys?).

You mean Quantum of Solace hasn’t a modicum of consolation to James Bond fans? Bummer.

Matagal pa showing nyan sa bukirin, Lipa City…

I learned that the theme song was originally offered to Amy Winehouse but she declined (?), ayun napunta tuloy kina A Keys and the White Stripes guy, sana Shirley Bassey-ish ung theme song, na favorite pala din ni Amy W.

i’d be happy with the title if the sequel will be “joule of denial” (michael douglas/katherine turner sequel reference anyone? …anyone?? aw, nevermind). resent amy winehouse’s drug habit for keeping her and mark ronson from doing the title song, which i think could have been amazing. maybe not tita shirley amazing, but still.

I’m watching the movie tomorrow, and two yeses: Quantum of Solace is a very baaaad title and Tita Shirley should always be the one to sing Bond themes. (Digression: I thought you were launching the Flip anthology somewhere a few months ago; was surprised to see it already populating the shelves at National Bookstore in SM Southmall.)
