<--- and the new teaser poster for Quantum of Solace. Funny how they announce the title, then release the poster without the title -- maybe they realize it's terrible? Time to rethink, rename but not rebrand obviously. Because I've gone anagram crazy how about Tofu Man's Co-Equal or Locust of Aquamen --they're nonsensical superhero titles but they make as much immediate sense as Quantum of Solace. And then there's ...

Aqua: Ton of Muscle
Clone of Aqua Smut
An Quota of Muscle (sure, it's grammatically incorrect but once you get to the muscle, you don't mind so much, right?)

...but all three of those obviously bring Casino Royale's blue swimsuit scene to mind so those won't do. Some porn appropriate titles can be anagramed from Quantum of Solace, too. But this is not that kind of blog. The best you're going to get here is pics of Daniel Craig in a bathing suit.

P.S. and I mean it, too


Film Experience "portrait of Kiki..." yes I'm linking back to myself. I think this post was just about 10 days too early (so ahead of the curve that I'm lost in the shuffle!) given the news this week that Dunst has checked herself into rehab. Other blogs may snark but I say "good for her" and "LEAVE KIKI ALONE!!!" do I have to make a YouTube video or something?
