No, that's not the name of Bond's new main squeeze for those of you that remember P. Galore from Goldfinger, although it would be tight if JB could have a cool sexy secretary (MoneyPenny) or a new quartermaster ('Q') to go along with the first female 'M' played by Dame Dudi Dench.Gadget's galore is what I am hearing can be found in the second installment of the rebooted movie franchise based on the books by Ian Flemming. 'Cool, believable technology'.
Although the reviews I've heard thus far from around the globe have been mixed, I really dug Casino Royale and have already invested myself in anticipation of some cool action, special effects and some Aston Martin hoonage. I'll see tomorrow as I plan to take the missus to check it out. In the meantime, check out the trailer.

Update 14 Nov 2008: Roger Ebert has written his review and given 2 out of 4 stars. Here's his take on the newest Bond girl...
"In "Quantum of Solace" he will share no cozy quality time with the Bond girl (Olga Kurylenko). We fondly remember the immortal names of Pussy Galore, Xenia Onatopp and Plenty O'Toole, who I have always suspected was a drag queen. In this film, who do we get? Are you ready for this? Camille. That's it. Camille. Not even Camille Squeal. Or Cammy Miami. Or Miss O'Toole's friend Cam Shaft."
I'm still planning to go see it, but I suggest you give Eberts review a read before you go or even only if you just want a good read. The guy is hilarious.
...and I hear he dated Oprah. Good goin' Roger! Who knew!?
