Ugh, god. Not Tarantino. Not for a Bond movie. Jesus fucking christ. Anything but that.

I absolutely love more than 50% of Quentin Tarantino's movies, and place the truly great movies eye to eye with Stanley Kubrick movies.

But fuck no. Not James Bond. If that ever happened, Tarantino would transform himself into an even bigger douchebag and disappointment than Kevin Smith. It would be a modern pop culture tragedy.

You can see this today.

Kingsman is a Bond film as directed by Tarantino. It's about as awful as it seems.

I'd watch Kingsman 10 times before I'd watch Quantum of Solace again. And I didn't hate Quantum of Solace: Kingsman is just much more fun.
