"looks like it's a continuation of the thug motif. bond is pissed off (sounds like at everyone (CIA, M, baddies)) and he's going on a skull cracking adventure to austria, italy, and south america. QoS the shortstory is about bond's understanding that his own adventures are somehow much less significant than the "adventures" of common people (like affairs, divorce, public facades). this would have been a great opportunity for craig to get a shot at the pensive, introspective, THINKING bond of the novels. but given the plot details that were released, in true modern bond style, the name of the literary work is all that remains in the films. i really don't have any idea why they do that. some may say to give homage to fleming... but it's really quite insulting to take someone's punch line and rewrite their joke.

""Bring back Fleming"

what...from the dead."

"i think what we're doing here is have a discussion about certain choices that the producers have made. we're discussing the merits of the cinimatic bond vs. the literary bond. we're discussing how we'd like to see the franchise move forward in the future. it's not really clear to me how these discussions are so threatening that they warrant your "dumb" label.

the majority of your post is full of antagonistic personal attacks (the DUMBEST thing you guys are doing, it's silly to say, what makes you any different than... clowns) and i find it hard to believe that this kind of tone does anything to encourage community building (i.e the process through which wiki's grow and become stable). since we should all be concerned with our COMMUNITY here on the wiki, i'd hope that you'd stick to comments like the first half of your post. The second half has just degraded to name calling.
