SPOILER: ‘Quantum of Solace’ Bond Girl Oiled Up ‘Goldfinger’ Style

Paying homage from gold to black...

The Daily Mail has a fantastic new article showing how Quantum of Solace (11.14) pays a direct homage to 1964’s Goldfinger as new bond girl Gemma Arterton’s character is drowned in crude oil and her lifeless body is left draped over a bed in a scene deliberately reminiscent of the 1964 Bond classic Goldfinger.

Arterton tells the Mail, “I couldn’t move. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t breathe or hear because it went in my ears. It was unpleasant, but it’s something I’ll always remember and it will be an iconic part of the film.”

Arterton (pictured above and below) was quoted saying, “Kissing Daniel was great – I can’t pretend it wasn’t… I just couldn’t get that image of him walking out of the sea in Casino Royale out of my head. He was very cool and I was a giggling mess. I mumbled something like, ‘I just kissed you!’ and he just said, ‘Yes you did. And now we have to do it again.’ Fortunately, he’s an incredible kisser.”

The image below is just one of what I believe are many featured in The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine.

However, it isn't considered one of the top ten films
I am willing to bet a bunch of people get killed in this one...
Aren't we all a bit overdue for a proper Hollywood extinction?
It just seems impossible doesn't it?
I never thought I would say that...
Need confirmation the studios have run out of ideas?
Oh, that Stephen Sommers, such a kidder
Grrrrr... growl and snarl
LSD sure seems to think/hope so...
Regent must be loving the existence of 'Twilight'

Anything you're interested in seeing?
Seems there is some bad blood flowing somewhere
Sounds like it will be just as bad as I imagined
Only three movies today
People seem to be ignoring this possibility
Sympathy can be found for a man that hardly deserves it
A melancholy slice of life definitely not for everyone
And the Bad gets even Badder
I would say Leo is an official contender
How do you feel about the Cuban revolutionary?
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel' still look strong independently
Better get out there and get one last theatrical experience
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel Getting Married' lead the way with six noms
Goes to show the influence the fanboys and girls have on the Internet
Preparing to sum it all up...
