Quantum of Solace is Huge; Secret Beatles Track





The new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, brought in $70.4 million on its opening weekend, shattering "the previous best opening in the Bond franchise Die Another Day, which bowed in 2002 with $47.1 million," and almost doubling Casino Royale's opening, reports The Weekend Gross. So how's the movie? Brent's Blog writes that "Daniel Craig earned his pay, doing many of his own stunts, which frankly made my palms sweat" and would like to see Alicia Keys as the next Bond girl. Blog Critics says the film is "Better than it appears at first glance, and well worth the price of admission, this is action-packed and thrill-soaked. Oh yes, don't forget to spy the homage to Goldfinger." To haters, Coosa Creek Cinema says, "Lighten up! It's only a Bond film! What do you want? Tarkovsky?" But Cinema Verdict says Quantum of Solace isn't like other Bond films, it's a sequel and requires a thorough knowledge of everything that happened in Casino Royale."

Popnography, however, thinks "they bring you up to speed quickly on the vengeance plotline" and, more importantly, "Craig takes his shirt off twice and the man wears the hell out of some khaki pants, better than any Banana Republic model. I know some fans don't like their Bond so fashionably accessible, but I liked going out the next day and buying myself a pair of pants that successfully frame my package as well as his did." Risky Biz Blog says it's a good folm, it's just not a true Bond film. .






Elsewhere in entertainment, Paul McCartney is hoping to release a previously unheard Beatles song, "'Carnival of Light,' a 14-minute experimental track the band recorded in 1967 for an electronic music festival but never released," writes Rock On The Streets. Minor Matters says the song was "thought to be too adventurous when it was first performed." How should the song be released? Well, Shark Guys says there will be "legal challenges a la passage of the US bailout bill: approval from the widows Lennon, Harrison as well as Ringo Starr, even if his artistic contribution to the Beatles is comparable to those transients Picasso painted during his 'Blue Period'." But once that's done, Electric Roulette says the format of the release is simple: "Give it away as a free download and press it onto a 12 inch. Easy. Don't muck about trying to turn it into something more. The Beatle estate has got more than enough money. Let us have somethin' fer nuthin' fer once."
