In the final wrapping-it-all-up scene between M and Bond, does she actually explain what has happened to the Prime Minster’s very close advisor who is a member of (Don’t call it SPECTRE) Quantum? Seems like that guy should be in a wee bit of trouble, no?
And, is it me, or did the 3-second love scene between Bond and Fields feel like it had already been edited for t.v., and by t.v. I mean t.v. back in 1975 when sex scenes in movies were almost completely cut for television. They might as well have just shown a train going through a tunnel, like in that Monty Python montage. (This is where Mr. Anonymous pipes in to tell me that is not from Monty Python.)

Speaking of trains going thru tunnels--
"The Spy who loved me" was on last week and lo and behold rogermoorejamesbond and mrs ringo barb bach were rumbling thru that same tunnel
There are a half dozen unanswered questions in Quantum, none of them very interesting, and all of them, I guess, designed to be answered in the next movie. (I kept thinking about an exchange from Three Amgigos. Something along the lines of: Amigo: Someday we'll return to this town. Woman: Why?) What's up with the Prime Minister's advisor? When will Bond catch up with Mr. White? Why did M's bodyguard only have a hundred dollars -- if he wasn't working for money, then why? What was the deal with Bond taking the money from Mathis' wallet? Why did Felix send Bond to the hotel to kill Greene? And why did Felix's boss want him to do it? (Per their discussion on the street.) And why should we care?
Who looked at forty years of Bond movies and said: "This is a pretty good formula, but it would be even better if you made them a lot more frustrating and incomplete, you know, like Attack of the Clones."
Oh, wait, did I say "spoiler alert?" I mean to say "spoiler alert."
Hey, you know what I haven't thought about in decades? "Eye Bet." Why isn't there a CD box set of "Eye Bet?"
Felix is so cool, he makes Bond look like a nerd. When is the Felix franchise starting?
