Quantum of Solace has been a rumored title for it seems almost every Bond flick since GoldenEye. I call bullshit. Hard bullshit. Anyway, I'm a die hard Bond fan, always have been. That said, I did not care for Brosnan in the role, which is saying something because I've always liked Brosnan as an actor, apparently just not as Bond. Casino Royale reinvigorated the slagging franchise. Die Another Day was the worst entry to date, and Daniel Craig is in my top three Bonds already with one film under his belt. When I was really little, I had all the Fleming paperbacks and read a lot of them before seeing the movies, so the interpretation of the character has always been very important to me. For the record, my favorite Bond is Dalton. Yeah, that's right, I said it. My favorite Bond flick is Live and Let Die.

That's because most movies today suck.

I hope it does get scrapped. I love Friday the 13th, but was underwhelmed by The Texas Chainsaw Redux and Marcus Nispel's music video direction. Fuck the remakes. Zombie's Halloween being an exception because it's Zombie, a horror filmmaker, not a hired shooter like Nispel and the others. Sad about New Line though. To me, it'll always be the House That Freddy Built. Maybe Bob Shaye can buy some of the horror properties for a new company a la the Weinsteins. If this happens, Warners will shit all over New Line's horror. Warners treats horror like ass and aside from "more artistic" fare like The Exorcist and The Shining, always has.

I don't think Nolan would let that happen to his film. I mean I don't know the terms of his contract with Warners, but I respect his vision as a filmmaker. What Proyas did with Brandon Lee's role in The Crow was classy. However, after giving it much thought and even though I've been looking forward to this movie for some time, I think it would be in the studio's best interest and out of respect ... for everyone ... if they postponed the movie to possibly a holiday release. I'm sure the cast and crew isn't in a mindset to commence post any time soon. Also, the marketing campaign has been brilliant, but might need to be changed. The "Why so serious?" poster is one of the best posters to come out of a studio movie in a long time, and the best poster of any Batman movie, but I think it's time to just make a black poster with the broken bat logo and the title. Out of respect for the family, maybe that image of Heath shouldn't be portrayed so prominently in the media.
