When I saw it yesterday it was 56% nay and 44% yea. Perhaps some Bond fans have been spending a little too much time clicking yes?

Why did you choose that particular anagram? "Macaque's fun tool" is soooooooooo much funnier

Talk about dumbing down. That's straight out of the red-top (no offence) tabloids' ideas locker*, right down to the strained title puns. All that's missing is the 0898 number to 'phone your vote in on.

Fsckwits.

* Less of a locker really, more a sort of small rusty cake tin with the lid missing.

I can't understand why this is such a big deal? They unveil the title - the title, for sod's sake! - and it gets headline national news, they run polls on what people think of it, etc, etc. Geez.

The Bond films are rubbish anyway. How about simply labelling it "More Garbage"?

Bond fans all resemble Alan Partridge, and are also posessed by his tasteless penchant for the stupid title?

Quantum of Solace is just so right in the middle of the Robert Ludlum shelf it's hilarious.... and as Greg points out, "More garbage" is close3r to the point... though I'd suggest "more shiny garbage, and tits" myself.

The answer is, er, sort of easy.....

We're nerds here and the joy of being anal about the film title is just too much to resist.

The Beeb voters are all hoping to get extras castings

They're already planning the Christmas telly schedule and so the bidding for screening rights is underway

It's not news. It's "ennertaynmunt". Hype and fluff on flash and flimflam. It's truly a measure of our decadence.

... that the BBC could even spell the title correctly given the recent number of speeling mistooks in it's website news articles.

but you can't really complain - most of the articles here on the register are often spelt right, because they've at least run a spell checker past them, but it's the wrong word they've used. "to" instead of "too" and the like.

for what it's worth - i like the new film's name. it's better than Die Another Day

The anagram Coma Equals Futon actually makes more sence than Quantum of Solace.

What in gods name does that even MEAN?!?

I refer you to the 9506507080 comments above explaining just that.

Now I just have to decide whether to reject all the comments wherein your ass is handed to you for that. Hmm. Do I feel magnanimous today?

Right, or indeed the one comment above with the "alternative title" as opposed to the, uh, NO comments which preceded it, and which, due to the Mods lax attitude, hadn't been approved and therefore was not visible when I posted the question.

Although I dont expect this will get posted, but we'll see.

this new bloke looks like a bouncer, a thug in a dicky bow.

bring back something we can aspire to please.

the same survey on the bbc NEWS site was:

55% +

44% dud

So they don't even need to be making money on premium rate phone lines to have pre-decided the result!

At least the writers strike in America means that we get an interesting title, not something dumbed down to the nth degree - I happen to like it, and for all of the 'it doesn;t make sensers' out there sew your eyes back onto your teddies (better get an adult to help) - I believe that it was one of Fleming's titles anyway.

Re: A Squat Colon Fume.

Picked that because I felt it described the effect of the actual title. It's sh*t, it stinks!

There are indeed much funnier ones.

Surely "Soupçon of solace" would be better?

At least we know he is qualified.
