The most memorable thing about Quantum of Solace is this bit from Ebert's review:
In "Quantum of Solace" he will share no cozy quality time with the Bond girl (Olga Kurylenko). We fondly remember the immortal names of Pussy Galore, Xenia Onatopp and Plenty O'Toole, who I have always suspected was a drag queen. In this film, who do we get? Are you ready for this? Camille. That's it. Camille. Not even Camille Squeal. Or Cammy Miami. Or Miss O'Toole's friend Cam Shaft.

Though I won't watch this latest film quite enjoyed Osita Nwanevu going over Craig's time with the franchise. It was good to see a hardened political writer putting in a shift, as a break from the day job.

Just watched _No Time to Die_ yesterday. Being the summation of the Craig bond, and thinking Skyfall was a slog and Spectre slightly less so, very much enjoyed this one. <h>The conclusion, with Bond's sacrifice, unwilling to chance the Six Degrees eventuality that Madeleine and his daughter would die the nanobot death, I thought was well-earned over the course of the five films.</h>

The first one, yes, the second one, kinda, the third one for the first half, the last two: hopeless.

Spectre remains my least favorite of these. The first 15-20 minutes were dope but then it becomes a joyless slog, two hours of fidgeting in your theatre seat waiting for the thing to end.

Super inert. Looks like a Guinness ad
