I saw Quantum Of Solace yesterday. Short review: Didn't think it was as good as Casino Royale.
Anyway, the funniest line in the picture - maybe in the series (up there with Q telling M that Bond's attempting re-entry) - is when 007 encounters a woman in Russia and identifies her as an agent from "Canadian intelligence". Daniel Craig deserves an Oscar for his deadpan delivery.
I would love it if Canada turned out to be running an overseas network of glamorous maple sugar traps in deep cover. But, alas, Her Majesty's defanged Dominion has no agents on foreign soil, unless you count the Mountie snatch team dispatched to New Hampshire to seize me for my "human rights" show trial. (They're still in the barn, pinned down by my goat.)
(Bonus question: What Ian Fleming novel features a Quebecois Bond girl?
Answer: The Spy Who Loved Me.)
Apparently, the snatch team doesn't draw the Mountie varsity, fortunately for us.
