Watch Quantum of Solace Brand New Trailer 30.6.08
MGM premiered the first ever trailer for the latest James Bond 007 film Quantum of Solace online today.
It’s distribution seemed very limited and was only available for a while on AOL for 2 hours apparently.
I’ve really struggled to get the clip as it gets either being removed or embedding is disabled
Hopefully this will work
It all looks pretty good to us, stylish and sleek as you’d expect. It follows on directly from Casino Royale with Bond appearing to become something of a rogue agent for a while.
Doubtless this side of the plot will fuel the Jason Bourne comparisons.
The 22nd film in the franchise is set for a November 7 release date and is a guaranteed success, though it will do well to equal Casino in box office takings.
The publicity machine will be starting to gear up big time now with all the sponsors and product placement people getting ready to make the most of the publicity and the outlay to be part of Quantum of Solace.
I know that Aston Martin are back again. Changes on the clothing front with Tom Ford taking over from Brioni in the suit department. I presume Omega will still be doing the business as always.
Publicity stills and ‘on set’ stories are starting to appear daily so the media blitz is almost upon us.
Rest assured I’ll filter all the garbage and just bring you the odd items of interest.
Hope you enjoy the trailer and that it continues to work
All the best

Well the movie clip-trailer is working.
Hope it continues to do so, if you see this let us know what you think of it or indeed if it stops working.
Click the play symbol in the middle of the screen shot to view by the way.

Rod,
No luck here yet….. we think DC is almost afraid to appear on the Witches screen and as for the cardboard cutout, well it’s in hiding somewhere in the Coven vaults

Thanks for taking the time to let me know, much appreciated.
It’s still working my end so not been shut off.
It coul dbe a browser type issue for those experiencing problems.

Rod,
Yep, browser problem confirmed. Thanks for the clip, looks excellent but tell us please that we will not go through the ordering of a ticket thing again. This time you must be prepared well in advance… not even a quantum of your weak excuses will be tolerated … and what’s more you could take a woman with you as a sort of date thing. The Witches will take their cardboard DC… it’ll look like a premier at our local cinema … no, no he prefers to stand we’ll say …

WoE,
pleased you’ve managed to see it - not seeing Daniel Craig is a cruel and unusual punishment for The Witches
tell us please that we will not go through the ordering of a ticket thing again
Thanks for reminding of the living nightmare that was buying a cinema ticket for the Cleethorpes multiplex - I can confirm that I shall not try such nonsense as telephone reservation or online ordering.
I shall incorporate a morning walk along the beach with the purchase of a ticket over the counter for the evening !
and what’s more you could take a woman with you as a sort of date thing.
That sounds like a capital idea
I’ll not bother with Pamela Anderson as she’ll have already seen the film as a guest at the world premiere !
I know she’d of come with me otherwise
That leaves a date then !
Find a date by the 7th of November - how difficult can it be ?
I’ll avoid making any rash statements as I don’t want to spoil my record on the matter of getting a date :
Regulars may remember this:
“The last time I said to someone I thought I might get a girlfriend I went out and within 1.5 hours of leaving The Goldeneye Ranch I had a date “
Which was mentioned in a comment on this post about women proposing marriage
Could I pull it off again or should I make like a good boxer and retire undefeated

Rod,
This has all the makings of a future post. The challenge is on then to find a hot date in time for the movie and to purchase at least two tickets…. if you fail then you’ll be escorting three old Witches and that means four tickets… on a purely financial basis that should be incentive enough
WoE
p.s. for 4 tickets read 5…. we can’t leave DC at home!
Rod said,
July 2, 2008 @ 8:27 am
WoE
to purchase at least two tickets
Crikey !
That means I’ll be investing £6 in her ! She’ll have to be a really hot date for that
I may arrange to meet her after the film just to be on the safe side, after all what’s the point of spending an extra £6 just to hear
what did he do that for
who’s he then
I don’t like the look of her etc etc for 2 hours

Rod,
We can see this is going to be difficult…. the parameters might have to change to include friends and family, next door’s dog etc
While we’re lingering on the thought that your chosen date will interrupt continuously with mind numbing questions, let us set our target at a woman worthy of £6 and an icecream at interval, who will be utterly transfixed by the fabulous DC cavorting about on screen. Which brings about another question… presumably you are now far too old to request a back seat reservation? 
Mind you if this is going to be the closest thing to a hot date this year then we’ll understand….. just so you don’t miss anything, better see the film twice which will set you back another £6…. you only live twice, remember.

Ask yourself this self analysis (and we all want to know)
When was the last time you actually went on a proper date?
To where?
How did the date go?
Did this date result in a further date?
If not why not?

We’ll work from there and see if the latest recruit is up for the challenge of taking on HRH WW Most Eligible Bachelor Esq. Perhaps we should make it clear from the start that any woman wishing to make a good impression could offer to take him to the pictures to see the delectable DC (is RC worth £6 we hear you cry, probably not but you’ll be doing womankind a favour by exercising your right to pay 
)…. and must be able to gently encourage RC out of his comfort zone ie. north Lincolnshire and size 10 chick jeans…
poor unfortunatelucky lady should first be interviewed by a panel consisting of your good self, the Witches and possibly LB although he may well scupper the whole thing and make off with the winning candidateWoE

Re the cinema £6 ticket problem. I think RC is probably too afraid to take a female along to the Bond premier, what man would want his lady friend drooling all night over the gorgeously fit DC?

Me run off with the winning candidate-I doubt it. I don’t share his fetish … and we’re glad to hear it, in you we still have some faith… alas poor Rod, what will become of him? From a man’s point of view, does a quick grapple on the back row constitute a hot date? Our fathers would have thought so…. and what of our great grandfathers, when a glimpse of ankle was highly erotic?
This mission will be code name ‘Ankle’. If his date turns up wearing hiking socks and weatherproof globetrotting boots, we can assume great great Grandpa’s record will be difficult to beat

If not why not?
This is a bit tricky as I’m happy to be fully open about myself but have to be cautious about bringing other people into it.
I think I can say without being too indescrete that I did have a “date” a couple of months ago and before that I did have a girlfriend for quite some time.
There we go Jordan you’ve put me royally on the spot !
I’m sure any lady I was fortunate enough to take to the new 007 movie would only have eyes for me - how could she not
after all I’ll be sporting the DC torso, the DC jacket and the DC wristwatch not to mention the rugged good looks

Not at all ! Though given my age the reasons for it would be: not as far to walk and nearer the toilets
is RC worth £6 we hear you cry
Absolutely ! What discerning lady wouldn’t pay £6 to be escorted for the evening by The Most Eligible Bachelor on Wybers Wood.
Women spend hundreds a night on male escorts, though perhaps not in Lincolnshire I grant you, it could be a whole new career for me

Women spend hundreds a night on male escorts, though perhaps not in Lincolnshire I grant you, it could be a whole new career for me …. didn’t we agree once that even on a bullish market the price here was unlikely to rise above £1 for reasons beyond your control
Lincolnshire women are second only to Lincolnshire men when it comes to parting with hard cash. The average woman in this neighbourhood would expect DC himself (and a picnic hamper) for £6 
Besides there’s plenty of time yet….. by autumn women will be dreaming of a new wardrobe and pumpkins… or perhaps that’s just us, either way she’s out there clutching two tickets and some thigh length hiking socks… the modern Millets woman might be just what we’re looking for?

Rod and the Girls,
The old Millets ploy might not be such a bad idea…. just the other day we were in there shopping on behalf of someone else. ‘Twas a foreign experience for the poor old Witches and especially shocking when a young sales assistant wandered up and said that we would require a rehydration pack….. we told her in no uncertain terms that we exfoliate religiously and that in some cultures, these wrinkles would be considered almost noble
Anyway after we got the matter clarified and the manager had retrieved the unfortunate assistant from the highest beam, we realised that here existed a world of people who walk and camp for fun, yes fun. Surely there must be a woman among this lot who would take a chance on Rod… they look a fearless clan on the whole, well they did until we called in, but nevertheless a possible location to find a fit, fully hydrated woman

As for being “put on the rack” Yes, quite rightly so, and as we are often “put on the rack”. It’s now time to shine the torch in your own eyes!
And as FF stated more details needed.
I think you have you been leading us astray with your woes and really been keeping a secret stash of ladies

thanks for joining forces with FF to pour salt in
I’ve never mislead anyone on the site and there are subtle pointers. For example I may now mention being single etc but would not if I was not single etc etc
I should love to give you both more information, and the pictures
but can you imagine how humiliating it would be for any young lady to be publicly associated with the likes of me
As to a secret stash of ladies, I’m too old for all that now
