I went to see Quantum of Solace1 yesterday evening. The plot revolves around a secret global club of financiers that’s infiltrated the highest levels of governments and their intelligence agencies. Every one of the movies—The International, Valkyrie, and Angels and Demons—depicted in first three trailers shown beforehand also centres on a conspiracy. Obviously this is a clever double-bluff by the Jews running Hollywood.
- It was too short, but in a “let’s have some wit and reflection like the last one” way, rather than in a “let’s have some more action sequences” way; and, for the first time in years, I sat in a cinema wanting them to turn the volume up—it wasn’t only that the theatre amps weren’t cranked; it’s a surprisingly quiet action film. The editing was interesting, but will date faster than that of The Thomas Crown Affair. [↩]
It was a lot better than the reviews suggested it would be. Still, nice to see Bond defending the minimum wage with extreme prejudice.
And Felix Leiter as Barack Obama.
