Just gonna say that Dominic Greene was a much more intricately acted character than Elliot Carver, and his plan to stage a coup and monopolize water was much more believable than broadcasting rights in China. Another Way to Die is a very good song because of its uniqueness, originality, lyrics and overall mood in context of the movie, but it's one of those things that is more relatable to the younger generation than the older one I understand. And Quantum of Solace is a pretty badass title. There's numerous "Die/Kill" titles, but QoS - never heard anything like that.

It's a bit like picking your World Cup dream team though. I could easily do another list of my favourite Bond 'things' I would like just as much.

I will gladly disagree with you on that

Hmmm, so TP authored a worst of list back in '09.

That must've come before he was named unofficial hall monitor.

Not only that but he listed the pre-titles of LTK in his nightmare section.

Times change?

Quantum of Solace and From a View to a Kill were both Fleming short stories.

Considering the amount of Die/Kill titles, I'm surprised they would use a theme song "Another Way to Die" for QoS. Sounds like an unused title for a Brosnan film.

I enjoy reading your defense of QoS and Greene, but why are you picking on Tomorrow Never Dies and Elliot Carver? Was this a response to a previous post?

Absolutely_Cart

Both Quantum of Solace wanted to be realistic movies that took on real-life enemies, but Greene's much more subtle slimey approach was much more believable than Elliot Carver's over-the-top hammy performance. His plan, albeit smaller, was much more logical and feasible. And his death was sensible to the themes of the movie overall than Carver's.
