A deleted scene from Spectre
Vote now in wave 1 of the FEOTM Reboot!
The meaning of the film's title according to different sources. The Governor character in the Ian Fleming short story of the same name defines it as "... a precise figure defining the comfort, humanity and fellow feeling required between two people for love to survive. If the quantum of solace is 0, then love is dead."

Also, I do not understand how DNA on one rings connects to all the baddies from the previous films? Did they all touch or wear the same ring? Or maybe, I just missed an important piece of exposition? Though why would a super secret society all wear rings identifying themselves? lol

Aztek463 said:As I'm recalling it, it was really only a handful of documents and a few lines of dialogue that could probably be easily excised.
spence said:That's what I was thinking. Definitely the thing that bothered me the most in the film, and excising it could probably cut 20 minutes off the run time, which it greatly needs.
I'm not sure about plot holes, but to me, the plot made zero sense. Once again, as in Skyfall, we have the antagonistic political types saying that the interconnectedness of everything makes the 00 program obsolete, which is ludicrous, because as Mallory points out here, you still have to have someone to pull a trigger (unless you can cause a big-ass explosion by hacking into a building's heating supply each and every time), so obviously assassins are at least just useful in today's world, not less. But even after Dench M found out about Quantum, it's possible for a "private donor" to finance a brand-new government intelligence apparatus?! Wha?! Next you'll tell me a psycho Starfleet admiral can build a huge mega-starship right in Jupiter's orbit in almost total secret! (Wait...) I'll say again: in this movie, the UK lets a private donor finance a brand-new multi-national government intelligence bureau. And European capitals are virtually devoid of traffic after dark in May. And a pad on a laptop can read multiple DNA traces from years back off of a ring. Uh-huh. Suuuuuurrrre. Even more so than Skyfall, with its nonsense plot about a psycho who can magically predict the direction of a foot chase shootout and an intelligence director who waves a flashlight around in the dark while being pursued, this isn't a plot at all, friends; it's kabuki. It isn't a spy caper popcorn flick; it's a fine art motion photography exhibit.TM2YC said:You heard it here. No edits allowed to the opening Mexico sequence that preceeds the song .
I heard/read a lot of comments that 'Spectre' has "Gigantic plot holes that you could drive a ->insert name of large vehicle here<- through and that the whole story made zero sense". I didn't really notice any that I recall, so I'm curious to know what these people are referrring to? IF YOU DO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION SPOILER TAG IT!
