Casino Royale took James Bond in an entirely new direction, transforming the somewhat cheesy spy franchise into a more gritty, hardcore version of 007 played by Daniel Craig. The movie was a huge success and a new direction for Bond was officially underway. Naturally, there was a lot of pressure on a sequel to recapture that same magic. It… didn’t?
Quantum of Solace definitely raises some questions. Like are we supposed to remember exactly who the minor character is at the beginning of this movie? Why did that undercover agent blow his eight-year infiltration on shooting some random guy and running away? How did M magically heal? What’s the story of this movie? Why did Bond rescue that girl only to hand her off to a random guy? Is Dominic Greene supposed to be an intimidating villain?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Quantum of Solace! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

It would be funny to see how he makes pitch meetings about movies based in real life events, like The wolf of Wall Street or the pursuit of happiness.
Despite watching this film numerous times, Pitch Meeting has explained it to me better than I’ve ever known.
Omg same here. Ive tried watching this movie three times just because i love the Bond movie series, but this is the only one i couldn't watch
It's just a mess this film. It's a lot of disjointed action scenes stuck together with a thin vale of story.
the only thing i remembered about this movie was how completely lost i was
I get and follow the plot everytime I watch it and then forget the plot and everything about it five minutes later. Much like thunderball.
@@funkoxen ikr, I just rewatched Thunderball a couple weeks ago. I think there were some underwater scenes.
“he’s gonna overcharge for the water!”
"Oh, it's a Nestlè movie now?"
Figi Water Company likes this.
Your options are expensive water, less expensive salt water, and toilet water.
Nestle is the cheapest of all the waters.
Nestle makes chocolate
@Luis Martinez water from my tap costs 6 cents a gallon
The writer guy just looked at his Nestle water bottle and came up with the most realistic villain ever.
I was thinking that the whole time
I know right!
"so this is a villain?"
"No sir, it's a brand."
"What's a brand?"
"A logo and theme to cover up the vile actions of an abstract faceless conglomerate acting mostly ourside of any jurisdiction"
"Great villain. Go on"
Well, since it's a little French guy, maybe an Evian bottle?
Except even with real major corporate crimes you don't have to commit treason and mass murder in order to establish a modest business monopoly.
The worse I actually heard was a time when some gold miners opened a fake mine to scam investors and one insider got offed for knowing to much.
I've watched this movie several times and didn't ever realize that the evil plot was just price gouging... lol.
The bad guy is Nestle
@@anjetto1 Bechtel, but I guess that wasnt in the US news quite as much as people there know nestle.
The villain was basically a scalper
Actually, that's also true of License to Kill, except the bad guy is driving up the price of drugs.
I mean most kids left the Lego movie singing everything is awesome. These movies never get the intended message across lol
"James Bond Fights a Tiny Frenchman" was actually the working title.
God if only. I would have gone to that in the cinemas if it was called that. In fact, lets name them all like that: "James bond fights an obese nigerian", "James bond fights a limping Serbian", "James bond fights a stuttering Australian"...
this whole film was just Screenwriter guy TinyFrenchrolling the viewing public
The frenchman screams, if that helps
Reminds me of the MCU film: Captain America fights an average-sized Frenchman
And the Disney+ show: Falcon and the Winter Soldier fight that same Frenchman
@@Shadowcam00 Don't forget all those dastardly englishmen.
“A plot point just drives up to him” could literally apply to every Bond film ever……
along with convenient love interest thats also plot relevant later.
I was going to say the same with "that's not how things work"
Well he is a spy sent on missions because some bad guy is doing some bad thing so technically yeah
The last time James bond did any actual spying was in Dr No and even then he stumbles on the bad guys lair by accident.
@@funkoxen It's always tickled me that he's the only superspy who goes around telling everyone his name
"Sweeping the air is TIGHT!"
Almost as tight as sweeping the leg.
Quoting Karate kid is super easy, barely an inconvenience 😂
No mercy!
wow wow wow...wow
Do you have a problem with that?
@@ScreenRant do superman the movie pitch meeting!
"M sends a single attractive redhead to bring him in"
Yeah, that'll do it
And she dies for no reason
@@jokingbat5 Gah, a spoiler! Oh, wait, nevermind. That happens a lot in Bond movies.
she was super easy.
@@markmac2206 definitely not an inconvenience!
Well it is a redhead so that works
“I’m not sure where we’re going story wise.”
“Same here but we’ll get somewhere eventually.” 😂😂😂
I'm almost sure of it 😆
@@iyiolaademola8456 Did they?
@@lynxxn4416 not really
This is the best explanation of Quantum of Solace’s plot
"Allright! Fun!" 😂
"That doesn't make any sense"
"Spy technology"
"Still though, that's not how *things* work"
"Sir, I'm gonna need you to get off my back about this"
"Oh ok, let me get off of that bad boy"
Yeah the inflection here made it one of my favorite jokes.
hey people... What does Daniel Craig mean when he said to miss fields at the hotel room, "I can't find the stationary, will you come and help me look" in quantum of solace?
@@HaiderAliKhan Stationary means things like paper and notepads. Hope that helps, four months later haha.
"So there is a writer strike. How do we top the previous movie's storytelling?"
"I will be personally writing it. I've decided."
"What are your credentials?"
"I'm good at marketing."
"Fair enough."
Daniel Craig and the producers actually co-wrote the movie so...yeah.
I wrote down my contact information on a piece of paper once, I think I'm more qualified.
@@jonathancampbell5231 How many times during the Craig era has Bond shot a canister causing it to explode?
@@brucemarshall3446 That's a weird question but two or three maybe?
Was the previous movie not a shameless poker commercial?
“Still though, that’s not how THINGS work”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm going to need you to get all the way off my back about that.
@@Dadofer1970 alrighty, let me just get off that thing! 😄
Or physics, for that matter.
I hope he reuses this line. It's perfect for when "that isn't how [specific thing] works" isn't good enough. Use that line for when you need suspension of disbelief, but then use the new line when there isn't enough suspension of disbelief to get the job done!
Now get on mine! 😂
I lost it on the bad guys evil plan: “he’s gonna overcharge for the water!”
To be fair, that is an extremely evil and realistic plan.
Exactly have you been to a concert or sporting event?! Same thing lmao
Yeah, his evil plan was just "capitalism."
Villain is a less evil Nestle because at least he didnt killed babies with his product
Just stated the basic plan of a bunch of oligarchs
Ryan seems genuinely surprised when he says "Has M not met James Bond?"
hey people... What does Daniel Craig mean when he said to miss fields at the hotel room, "I can't find the stationary, will you come and help me look" in quantum of solace?
If I remember correctly, these movies show Bond at the beginning of his career so he hasn't gotten his womanizing reputation yet. And M absolutely rips him a new one over this incident. She's livid at not just how unprofessional he was, but also at the fact that he's damaged that agent's career by seducing her into not doing her job.
The amount of joy I feel when I hear "So you have a movie for me?" is indescribable
Omg I hope Ryan will do Die Another Day, hands down the silliest of the franchise, makes Moonraker a contender for an Oscar...
I actually really like Moonraker
Die Another Day is bad but its good bad, fun to watch bad. Movies like Specter are just boring bad.
@@dereklewis4321 I thought I was the only one lmaoooo
I kinda like Die Another Day. It has that nice charm of the earlier movies with an over-the-top supervillain plan and the first half was actually really great. The Daniel Craig films have been way too serious.
@@JekPorkbricks The pre title sequence is still one of my all time favorites. The Cuban facility and sword fight are also very good scene. Its right when we get to Iceland it starts to nose dive.
I need pitch meetings of every Bond movie, sir.
Moonracker next or Die another Day
good idea, yep
Yeah yeah yeah
@@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka _MoonRACKER?_
Slip of the tongue or Bondism… I’ll let you decide.
@@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka You could do a whole PITCH around the embarrassing product placement in MOONRAKER.
Quantum really only works if you watch it right after Casino Royale, it's the only Bond film that you need to watch the previous one to fully understand what's happening, as the other ones are more or less standalone with passing references here and there.
There's also an easily missed plot point about Bond being unable to sleep since Vesper died, which is his main motivation for the movie.
You can't watch Spectre too far after them either, since they don't really reintroduce Mr. White too clearly. Just kinda "Hey, it's Mr. White." "Oh, yeah."
They should have mentioned that in the pitch meeting.
@@pentelegomenon1175 Yep, sleep deprivation is really annoying and makes people kill people. I know this from a friend of course, it's not like as if I am so bad in sleeping that I unlife some people.
Who cares. Bond died with Casino Royale anyways.
"Well, the tiny Frenchman makes shrieking noises when he attacks. Does that help?"
"That helps ALOT actually!"
Most underrated quote.
"You know that fight scene in The Bourne Identity?"
I love how they don't even specify which fight scene. But as someone who used to be super into TBI, I knew the exact scene they were talking about.
terrifying but so did I... i have seen that series several times for fight choreography alone...
but honestly, it reminds me more of the second Bourne film, fight with Martin Csokas, choreographed by this amazing filipino martial arts guy... dangerous magazine rolled up wielder....and the useful for blowing up place after fight by shoving magazine in toaster
@@kweejibodali7009 The first one had the best fight choreography. After that, Paul Greengrass and the quick cuts and shaky cam ruined it
Yeah, the Paris Apartment fight scene where Bourne uses a pen to disarm the knife-wielding assassin.
My father was an air sweeper, it’s an important profession
So... He broke wind all day?
@@samsonsoturian6013 He was an air sweeper, not a windbreaker! Completely different professions!
In his spare time he played air guitar I imagine
@@alismith3801 he made a lot of money at the sweeping job over the course of his life. When he passes on, it falls to me. I am, after all, the heir. I mean air. I mean
@@harryosborne8215 Particles in the air is s huge problem, so this all makes sense
The overpricing plan reminds me of that German saw parody where Jigsaw has liquid filling a bathtub, the paniced hostage asks if that is acid and Jigsaw says: "Well... no... but the water is only lukewarm... unpleasant if one was looking forward to a nice hot bath! HAHAHAHA!"
My favorite part is when they see these like unbelievably poor farmers looking at a dry water spigot all sad and dejected. Because we all know, poor farmers in arid climates are just a huge source of potential income. Guy will make hundreds of dollars
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 At least 2 dollars. Maybe even 3.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 If such riches aren't worth taking on James Bond then I don't know what is^^
Oh a lukewarm bath is very disappointing! lol
What is the name of this said film?
When a Bond villain is less evil than the company that makes kit-kat bars.
I dont know. He was planning to charge some very very high prices.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What's this about Kit-Kat bars?
@@robertodell9193 The ingredients in Kit-Kat bars cause heart disease, obesity, and depression. Also, they have addictive ingredients in them as well. Essentially, the Kit-Kat company is selling border-line poison to it's customers and they willingly purchase it and consume it, not realizing the harm it is doing to their bodies.
@@robertodell9193 the plot of the movie is literally what Nestle does with water
@@newbietuber99966 You mean make water easily accessible and convenient to carry with you on the go for a reasonable price? Wow Nestle must be run by Hitler himself!
"We'll get somewhere eventually, I'm almost sure of it"
"Alright, fine"
Perfect explanation of how the entire movie was finished.
2:45 Dude was literally sweeping the air lmfao
Please do Edge of Tomorrow next. I want to see Producer Guy and Writer Guy go on a loop while discussing the movie.
Evil dead trilogy. Human centipede 2. The Departed. Snatch. SNATCH!!!! Harry Brown. Kidulthood. The godfather. Shawshank Redemption. The Mask. Nightmare on elm street. Jeepers creepers. Fired up. American Pie franchise. Bill and Ted. Battle Royal. Old boy. OLD BOY! Dredd. KUNG FU HUSTLE. Taken.
There's some good suggestions.
@@thatoneguychad420 Shawshank Redemption? How and why?
Not only it's a brilliant movie but it's down to earth and realistic. Not much to pick apart there imo.
@@12345673260 that's a good shout too
I see what you did there.
He already did nightmare on elm@@thatoneguychad420
"Ok, so two big chases already. I'm still not sure where we're going story wise"
"Yeah, same here. We'll get somewhere eventually, I'm almost sure of it"
"oh, alright fun!!"
Love it
M doesn't get shot in the beginning, if you go through the moment frame by frame, you can see that the bullet hits the metal pole next to her when she is going to the ground.
Because having confusing scenes you have to rewatch frame by frame to see what is going on in your movie that is to be watched in cinemas is *tight*!
"He just kinda hands her unconscious body over to some guy"
Don't make me spit my mouthwash like that
Don't mouthwash while you're watching Pitch Meetings!
"So you have a James Bond sequel sequel for me?"
"Yes sir I do, it's called Skyfall!"
"Oh, a Chicken Little remake? I love it!"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣!!!!!!!
No it's a " Home alone" remake.
Air sweeping is tight
hey people... What does Daniel Craig mean when he said to miss fields at the hotel room, "I can't find the stationary, will you come and help me look" in quantum of solace?
I’d like to go back to the guy sweeping air. He’s up to something or just an air bender
Auditioning for the quiet version of Stomp
I would like to ask why he was sweeping the air. That almost has to be completely intentional either by director or by the guy just wanting to do something funny
@@stelonous Probably something to do with ruining the sound recording
it would make total sense if it was a phony construction site
I was about to suggest he's another foreign agent and the broom has concealed scanning technology, or something. That doesn't even work, though. Not much of a cover if he can't or won't let his fake broom touch the ground.
"What's at the dock"
"Shady types people and a guy sweeping the air"
"Sweeping the air is tight"
I wheezed so hard it became an inconvinence
Wheezing so hard it becomes an inconvenience is TIGHT.
@@DS-tv2fi Oooooo(head swing) commenting "Tight" is *"T I G H T"*
Hopefully just barely one, though
" Air sweeping is tight " is the actual quote .
Now I'm gonna get all the way off your back .
@@gosforthlad Is it going to be hard to get all the way off your back?
No, it’s going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
2:46 “and a guy sweeping the air,”
“Oooh air-sweeping is tight!”
😂😂😂😂
"That would definitely still kill them"
"Yeah but it's not gonna"
"Why"
*BECAUSE*
"That works"
Lmao that is way too accurate.
nice to see you too
That's my favourite
Hey wassup man been awhile
There will never be a time where I don't stop whatever I'm doing and watch a new video of these...
Please do a Pitch Meeting for Moonraker. It was the first Bond movie I ever saw, and was also the stupidest thing I'd ever seen.
The movie is so silly you can't really mock it.
It's self-mocking!
@@brucemarshall3446 I mean... They did do Sharknado...
What do you have against French Bond villains? 😜
Lol. Mine too. I was 7 at the time and I thought it was awesome. When I watch it now I’m like “WTF”
@@brianmcg321 That's because it's a comic book!
Well FINALLY Will Ferrells character from "The Other Guys" who developed the app that did that spy tech (face from back of head) scores another one for Hollywood Writers.
Litteraly what popped into my head when he mentioned the app lol.
Maybe they were setting up a Bond Other Guys crossover event
FaceBack is making rounds!
"Has M not met james Bond?"
Perfect!😂😂
Quantum of solace by itself is a clunky and a little awkward but as a sequel to Casino Royale it works great
That’s really the way you have to watch it as because it’s essentially a continuation of Casino Royale’s third act
Let's get a pitch meeting for Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron! That way you can write a whole song about getting off of your back! Plus watching it with subtitles makes the movie so much better
Yessss!
I like how he's not even pretending that the women are more than plot points.
To be fair that actually does come up in the movie. After Bond bones the redhead she like immediately dies and he realizes hes a giant asshole who uses people like pawns for his amusement and it almost always results in tragedy
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Yeah, cuz that's what I want in a Bond movie, moral wokeness. /s
@@oldmandice2731 so you like people being asshole?
@@jamesfeguson3445 We like Bond being an asshole.
@Uhh Sure Defending wokeness because your ego is fragile and you need people to validate your existence through your moral pandering is tight
“We’ll get somewhere eventually, I’m sure of it!” Is a great line.
Oh is it?!
Well thanks for telling us.
hey people... What does Daniel Craig mean when he said to miss fields at the hotel room, "I can't find the stationary, will you come and help me look" in quantum of solace?
I was 10 when I saw Die Another Day, 14 when I saw Casino Royale, and 16 when I saw Quantum of Solace. Even though I was a child, and Die Another Day was not a great James Bond film, I can remember more about that movie than Quantum of Solace. I saw it in theaters but this whole video I couldn't remember a single plot point to the whole film, it's just so hilariously unrememberable. I'm glad Skyfall was good enough to keep Daniel Craig in the James Bond role.
"That's not how _things_ work". Well, the bad guys have air-broom technology, so cameras which can capture a face from the other side of a head aren't that much of a leap.
I like how underwhelming the water plot is because... You know, Nestle exists.
Does Nestle overcharge for their water? Maybe they're the evil villain this movie was about hmmmm?
Child labor...
Well letting companies compete with each other to see who can supply the most water for the cheapest price is actually the best way to make water more easily available for everyone in the long run. If you are suggesting that the government should pay for everyone's water, then that stifle innovation which could be disastrous for the future.
@Jack der Hauptsturmführer Every advanced country in the world has banned toxic food and water. And if lead was showing up in water, then people will stop buying from that company and switch to another. The free market is the best way to expand markets and foster innovation. If the government controlled the water supply, then there would be no financial incentive to innovate water distribution techniques.
As soon as the government takes control of something, innovation slows to a crawl. Why do you think we still have to wait in line for 2 hours at the DMV just to replace a drivers license? Why do you think employee parking is often right next to government buildings but citizen parking is far away? If it was a private company, the customer parking would very close to the building, and you would be able to get your drivers license online with very little wait.
No kidding.
I’d like to personally give an award to the people who commented “first” to commemorate their stupendous achievement
Dude, you do MARVEL and Star Wars Breakdowns?!😱 so cool
Good idea the award should be a slap in the face
37th!!!! Booyah!
I'd like to personally commemorate you for commenting the same thing everyone else comments when talking about "first comments"
First
"We'll get somewhere eventually I'm sure of it." This is my motto for life
Yeah 😔
Not only was the Bolivia water story lame, but it was also lazy. This was actually done for real. In the late 1990s the World Bank forced Bolivia to privatize their water supply meaning a lot of the country's poor had no water. It eventually ended with a rebellion by the population.
I'd never considered that the writer of QoS started with a Manon des Sources sequel but walked into the wrong producer's office.
I laughed my ass off when i saw the guy sweeping air when i watched the movie...had to rewind like 10 times 😂😂😂
I didn't realize how silly the plot to this movie was until Ryan and Ryan broke it down for me
Very very unfair prices!
Ryan Writerman (American) and Ryan Producerguy (Dutch-Canadian)
breaking down things for people is tight!
Silly? That's what oligarchs are doing RIGHT THIS MOMENT.
Unless you're actually a part off their PR team. ..
@@randomhuman97 the movie mank has some very interesting commentary.
do a CW FLASH pitch meeting in case you didnt know his name is barry allen and he is the fastest man alive...
There's nowhere to run!
Ryan George can run to screen rant and say "so you have the most watched CW series for me" yes sir i do his name is barry allen and he is the fastest man alive the the producer will b like is that important and he will say well you dont after season 1 but he just keeps saying it throughout multiple seasons so on and so forth
the cw flash would be the best pitch meeting ever
Wun Bawwy Wun
“But that would definitely still kill them.”
“But it’s not gonna.”
“Why?”
“Because”
“That works.”
Every Pitch Meeting in a nutshell.
it must have been hard for them to survive that one!
@@artman2oo3 ☝🏽 *Actually..........*
Amazingly, they had like 60 pages of an outline and Craig was tasked with coming up with scenes because he wasn't in the guild.
Exec: All these writers on strike, it's gonna be hard to write a new James Bond film.
Pitch guy: Actually it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Exec: Oh really?
Pitch guy: Yeah, hes gonna chase some guys, then meet a girl, then there's gonna be a bad guy and Bond's gonna kill him, and then the movies gonna be over.
Exec: That sounds EXACTLY like a Bond film
I own all the Daniel Craig Bond movies and this video is the closest I've ever come to seeing Quantum of Solace.
Wow, I never knew that Nestlé was a James Bond villain.
These guys killed it!!! I love how Netflix has in the description: picking up an hour after the events of casino royale- gee could have used that info 12 yrs ago😡
these guys lol
Ryan: Kinda wish we'd get to see it
Ryan: Yeah but we're not gonna
Ryan: Why?
Ryan: Cuz I don't know what's gonna happen in the sequel yet
Ryan: *Most sincere "Oh Very Smart" of the entire series*
"So James shoot the guy and then he shoots and then he gets him and then he gets away"
My friend trying to explain a movie to me
4:34 That technology exists! It's called "Faceback," developed in (a movie called) 'The Other Guys' by (the character played by) Will Farrell.

Bond: So you work for S.P.E.C.T.R.E.?
Mr. White: I can't legally say yes, so let's just say I work for C.H.A.O.S.

“Not really, no.”
“How about Sheriff Hopper, with a silly mustache?”
@@williamblakehall5566 😂🤣 you're right! I totally forgot!
My brother and I watched this in the theater when we where young and literally had no memory of what happened in it for years until we rewatched it recently for reasons I no longer recall.
I heard due to the screenwriters strike Daniel Craig and Director Marc Forster made contributions to the writing. Quantum of Solace is not my favourite Bond film but it had a lot of gritty action and performances.
"The fuel cells explode"
"You mentioned those!"
Lost it 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why the way Ryan said "Dominic Greeeen" and"tiiiiny Frenchman" is killing me so bad hahaha
Yeah that part got me love the way he Said Tiny french man
"and then....he's gonna overcharge for it" had me dying 😂😂
It's like the Pharma Bro...but with water 💦
tiny frenchman making shrieking noises every time he hits bond... that helps a lot actually... that gets me everything i ever
I was curious if the writer's strike would get mentioned in this one. I expected/hoped the writer character would just disappear/be replaced by someone else playing a director character who stumbled through explaining the plot but went into great detail about visually artistic choices. Would've been more true to the actual production
I will never stop asking for a Surf ninjas pitch meeting.
For a Bond movie, this plot is weirdly parallel to Dune.
I also appreciate the writers' dedication to accurately reporting the real placename of their very cinematic setting (the Bolivian desert) when it would have made far more sense to pretend it was Peru, which is several times more important than Bolivia and actually has a vulnerable water supply.
Wait, Dune was about control of the spice. It gave you god like powers, allowed you to bend space, etc.
@@nosuchthing8 But it was also about water hoarding and about destroying the spice.
@@josephfisher426 yup. Of course.And many other things.
But if it was JUST about water it would never have been such an influential book.
“You bought an IP without buying the all of the IP so we can use certain words?”
“Buyers remorse for sure.”
“Yeah yeah yeah!”
The whole movie was a side quest
“…he’s just kinda walking down the street with this dead guy’s suitcase and a plot point drives up to him!”
Masterful
You know, hoarding an entire country’s water supply is actually a pretty evil plan. A human being can survive up to a week without eating but not without water and the people of that country were already having a water crisis. A lot of people were for sure gonna die of thirst because of that dude’s plan and the entire place may have been driven into extreme poverty.
That’s no joke.
It feels like the most realistic plot bond has had. I quite enjoy this film
Realistic yes, but its not Bond fun.
But like, Bolivians are already established as being raked over the coals and treated like crap. So its not like they are going from a great life to a crappy one. Its just an even worse life. Which is low stakes, as said in this episode. In film terms, obviously, IRL thats messed up
I think it would be of higher stakes if it was being done in a developed country. In middle or low income countries, piped water isn't the only source of water. We get water from lakes, streams, rain, puddles etc. So though it may seem such an evil plan to an English scriptwriter, the stakes just aren't that high imv.
Nestle go brrrr
“That’s not how thiiings work, though…” - so simple yet cracked me up.
Favorite line. 😂
“Can we use spectre yet? “ “ no we cannot” “then no it’s not spectre “ I’m weak
In the 2005 video game From Russia With Love they had to call them OCTOPUS lol.
Guess this organization was SMERSH lol
I was sat here weeping with laughter and nodding my head all the way through the Pitch Meeting. So very true.
Halfway through the pitch he should’ve said “sorry, I’m now on strike, you’ll have to write the rest of the movie yourself.” Which is more or less what happened.
Q: "Do bring back the Aston Martin back in one piece."
Bond: "Is that Super Rasy, Barely An Inconvenience?"
Q: "Not with you."
Rasy?
Yeayeayea
Rasy huh?
Lol!!! This kid.
Oh REALLY!?
So the villain in this is Nestlé?
Okay “so copy paste” had me pause to get through my tears hahaha
4:42 “Still though, that’s not how “things” work” lmao
Bravo to you for watching that movie and getting all the way through. It was a confusing mess from start to finish, and you showcased that perfectly.
i remember being so confused by this movie whilst everyone loved it. this pitch meeting makes me feel vindicated
Who is everyone? I don't know a single person who liked this movie. So much action but by far the most boring James Bond movie.
@@FYYTWYFN all my friends/family. This was 2008 so i wasnt watching youtube movie reviews at that point, reccomendations is all i went off.
@@FYYTWYFN I agree. I've never met anyone who knows what exactly is going on. Things just happen.
I mean, drinking water for an entire country is pretty high stakes, especially if the person who wants to control it is killing enough people to make it happen.

@@DailyNihilism how's he gonna do that? Has he got some sort of machine that controls every lake and reservoir in the world?

Part of this was filmed in Panama and it was so hyped up. Back then we had blockbuster still and you could not find a single copy of Casino Royale to rent. Every day the newspaper would show a pic of Daniel Craig like on a beach or something. I feel like I got swept up by the hype because I remember liking the movie at the time.
I wanna know more about the guy sweeping the air. Seems he has a story behind him. Spin-off potential maybe?
He is the male-identifying birthing person of "Broom Kid", from Ruin Johnson's masterpiece -The Last Jedi
Quantum of Solace is actually a solid movie, love the emotional and vengeful theme going on. It really builds on what Casino Royale did and made Bond human. Sure the pacing is weird and sometime doesn't make any sense. But the scenes themselves aren't bad.
Why aren't you gonna do a pitch meeting for the -movie- documentary "Idiocracy"?
My personal favorite Pitch Meeting you've done. It flowed really well and the whole little Frenchmen bit was hilarious. You really emphasized big old James Bond going against a small Frenchman. 🤣
"so James Bond is chasing the guy"... 😂😂😂I love how it starts 😂
Quantum of Solace remains one of the biggest missed opportunities in the entire franchise for me. I personally really liked the idea of having it be a direct sequel to Casino Royale. But the issue is the writers hedged their bets on making a longer Bond story arc. This makes QoS feel like a filler episode of Bond television show. It was a revenge movie without the revenge. They should have just let Bond get his complete revenge on Quantum/Spectre in this second movie, so the movie could feel complete. Let James Bond actually kill Mr. White instead of the bad guy be someone only loosely related to Casino Royale. Then when the 4th movie came around, you could have Bond fighting what he thinks is an unrelated conspiracy, but the twist is that Blofeld is a former operative of the organization Bond took down before, and now he wants revenge in-turn. You could still keep the continuity. But not make it too hard for casual watchers.
"So the climax will involve James Bond getting into a scrap with a tiny French dude? Seems like that fight should be easy for Bond to win."
"Actually, it's gonna be super difficult, a massive inconvenience."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah yeah yeah, the French guy's gonna go completely crazy and swing this fire axe everywhere, and Bond will be too busy not getting himself cut in half to really do anything. He'll only end up winning when the guy cuts his own foot in half."
"Oh, heroes who win by not doing anything until the villain defeats himself are tight!"
A self defeating villain? George Lucas is calling an army of Lawyers.
This tracks.
I saw this movie. I know I did.
Despite the fact that I am 100% certain that I've seen this movie, not even this pitch meeting can spark any memory of the plot.
What was this movie about?!?
QOS was a literal 'watered' down version of the Spy Who Loved Me. From its choice of cinematography in its operatic outdoor and vast epic desert scenes, right down to its villainous plot. But instead of Stromberg wanting to command and conquer the sea, we just get Dominic Green wanting to buy & sell a small lake 😂
Even as an avid Bond flick watcher through the ages, I was definitely one of those people who at the beginning of QoS, I was like, "wth is going on... who is who again?"
