Were it to be the title of the new Iain M Banks novel I'd be perfectly happy.

But as a Bond title????

Well it is a Bond title. A proper Bond title.

It's a proper legit Fleming title, ergo I voted good, because while I think it is a crap title, it's at least original source material crap.

Besides, it's got Ms Arterton in it, who cares about the title?

Well, it certainly deviates from the title-as-literal-plot-device tradition of Bond, but perhaps that's a good thing. Of course, this is me hoping there isn't a villain by the name of GoldfingerSolace with her orbital GoldeneyeQuantum machine bent towards global domination/destruction/blackmailing. After all, "You only liveLove Twice, Mr. Bond!"

Evil Genius.

They simply must include this scene. And then Bond escapes by turning into a wave form and passing through two little slits.

That's an even worse title than The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

iainjclark January 24 2008, 18:02:38 UTC

I really want to like it. I don't like it.

I think it's sad and a bit sexy, and admittedly also a little bit naff
