I feel better about my Cloverfield nitpicking knowing that William Gibson had this reaction. Heh.
(And, of course, he's right.)

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And, of course, he's right.
Unless it's taking place under the current administration which has never lacked for ham-fisted and clumsy phraseology (though I'm pretty sure it was just ineptness on the part of the filmmakers and not a political point, sadly - I hope it was JJ and not Drew's fault).

"Quantum of Solace" is the title of the new James Bond film, the 22nd Bond adventure.

Where was the source of the new Bond title? That may have the title of Indy 4 beat for silliness (and even, doG help us, Send in theAttack of the Clones).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
SMG talks about "Possession" the movie she's in that co-stars Lee Pace.
What is with SMG co-starring opposite tall, noodly-looking people? Did the Enormous Hall Monitor teach them nothing?? Can't she be in a movie with Kiefer Sutherland, or one of the hobbits?

hip deep in pie
on the weekend, I saw a preview for Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day [link]
I was all France McDormand! Ciaran Hinds! Shirley Henderson! Then Lee Pace came on screen and I think I broke something. I hope this is good.

More on the Bond thing:
Several reporters at the press launch questioned whether the film makers should have opted for a snappier title. A blogger for the Guardian newspaper was already asking whether it was the "worst Bond title ever?"
Craig defended the name. "At the end of the last movie his heart's been broken and he doesn't have that quantum of solace, he doesn't have that ... closure on what happened in his life and he needs to find out," he told Reuters in an interview.
Of course! He doesn't have that quantum of solace!
