Quantum of Solace

(Continued from my last post- I warn you this will contain spoilers)

After fleeing Vienna Bond travels somewhere in mittleuropa. Where he meets up with Mathis. British intelligence agent in Montenegro from Casino Royale. Bond co opts Mathis and the two travel to South America. Bolivia.

The actress playing Fields. They miss out on giving her the amusing first name in the script. Strawberry. Is beautiful.

Bond bullies her into moving into an upscale hotel.

British intelligence, sent an office girl to put a killer back on the plane. Where were the military attache?

Bond meets up with Felix Lighter after things go wrong for him in Chile. Strawberry is killed. Mathis is betrayed and killed. He is on the run from Mi6, and the CIA.

Bond quips that even the Taxi drivers know where the CIA fronts are in Bolivia. He muses what South America would be like if no one cared about Cocaine of Communists. To which Felix observes is an irony coming from a Brit

The villians of the piece are pursued to a South American hotel.

The pearl of the desert. Its powered by solar panels. One of the baddies comments on the noise the fuel cells make There is a scene, where Bond tells Olga. What its like to kill someone for the first time

Olga is after the South American General who killed her father raped and killed her mother and Sister and left her to die in a burning house.

The South American general. Then attempts to rape the receptionist of the hotel. It sits uneasily with me. As I recalled that the film is set in Bolivia. Though its really Chile. I used to have a thing for a dark haired chilean woman. I noticed the girl doesn’t seem to escape from the attack.

The fight between Bond and Greene, is frantic. Greene flings himself into it, with a manic energy I learn that the actor based himself on Sarko!

So there you have it. I think Daniel Craigs Bond needs more humor. The franchise sometimes overlooks the modern world. Picture phones and You tube when its necessary. On the other hand Craig gives the impression that this is a brutal professional, going about his work. One wonders what will happen when Julie Dench can’t play her part in the films though

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
