Butter Flavored Minute

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out:

• The soundtrack in this movie is way above par. 
• There is a real actual plot in this supposed teen movie.
• Apparently, many real life porn stars have cameos. Not that I would know.

The more you know:

• Bond once again here drinks a Vesper, though it is called out by ingredients, and not by name. I guess he's still pissed at her. 
• If Quantum really is the name of thebig secret conspiracy organization, should they really be wearing those "Q" pins so fraglantly out in public?
• What the hell are those fuel cells made out of, nitroglycerine and bubble gum?
• Check out the tasty typeface treatments introducing each of the exotic locations Bond visits.
• The title sequence wasexecuted by the design house MK12 (I think they did all the infographics in the movie as well, but having trouble finding confirmation): http://www.mk12.com/
• Oil is the new gold. That's all I'm going to say.
• "We are teachers on sabbatical."
• Also, watch for Agent Fields' first name in the credits.

Question for my viewers: does the opera Tosca have anything to do with the plot of Quantum of Solace? Any parallels, etc.?

Casino Royale (1967)

• One possible explanation for the disjointed nature of the movie is that Peter Sellers walked off the movie before he had finished all of his scenes. Of course, there is that whole "five directors" thing.
• David Niven was Ian Fleming's original choice for James Bond.

Casino Royale (2006)

• For the first time, the gun barrel opening sequence has been integrated into the narrative of the film. Being as such, it is inderted in the heat of the action, and without the usual slow walk by Bond in a tuxedo. 
• The title sequence does not feature any women, aside from the face of Vesper Lynd briefly revealed as the face of the queen of hearts on a passing card.
• The drink that Bond invents at the poker tables, the Vesper, comes directly from the Ian Fleming books, as opposed to that "vodka martini, shaken not stirred" nonsense.
• The recipe for the Vesper: "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel." Serve "in a deep champagne goblet."
