I get that the whole thing with the new James Bond movies is to get rid of the punny titles, and make Bond all serious and stuff. OK, fine. The title of the next one, Quantum of Solace, fits in with that idea, even if the title doesn’t actually mean anything. But with the news over at Moviehole that Virgin Atlantic will again be putting major product placement in the next Bond adventure makes me really, really wish those bad sex puns.
I mean, come on! The company is called Virgin! James Bond is known for nothing if not his sexual prowess! According to Sir Richard Branson, who owns the company, we’ll see James Bond in a bar in the first class section on one of the planes. Yeah, next time you’re flying coach and sitting in the middle seat, think about that. Anyway, the idea of James Bond sitting at a bar on an airplane is awesome, but wouldn’t a good virgin pun-- even a virgin daquiri pun!-- make the whole thing better?
I’m clearly being too picky about my James Bond news. Can’t we get some leaked photos from the set or some plot details so I can stop haranguing this movie for crimes it pretty much only committed against me and my perverse sense of what a movie title should be?
