A new QOS nickname for BJMDDS

Post by carl stromberg »

As you know, some people have been calling for a replacement for BJMDDS's The Bourne Mimicry gag.

Any suggestions?
Bring back Bond!

I've been calling it Layer Cake 3 for a while now, so I suppose that needs replacing too.

Eh,I'm fine with The Bourne Mimicry.There's only one or two people here who are annoyed by it(I know I'm not..)Hey, if the description of QOS' plot is anything to go by,it's apt.

If we want a description of the plot, how about Water Load of Rubbish?

I may not like the Bourne films but I definitely think that Forster is "borrowing" plot elements from the Bourne movies.I don't think it has anything to do with other Bourne crew working on QOS.He's just not very original, is all.

I think its funny and if it is apt so be it. There was definite mimicry in CR and not just of Bourne

There's a small minority here who don't like the "Bourne Mimicry" nickname.Since the vast majority here don't mind it,why change it or look for some other name,I say.

Actually I like Octopussy and Living Daylights. To me Octopussy is like Moonraker or Thunderball, I don't know what they mean but they sound cool. Besides in America Octopussy could be a bit misunderstood. Which made it cool :P

Be it "The Bourne Mimicry", or the "Quantum of Sole-Less", it will describe Craig's portrayal as a Bond with no substance,and no personality.

Quantum of Bollocks sounds closer to the actual title.
