What's more ridiculous, going out to see a picture like The Dark Knight based on the online numbers, whichis odds on favor of being decent, or a mixed bag like Quantum of Solace based solely on it being a Bond picture; the latter of which is (critically) inferior to the former. I'm not loose with my money, and unless the odds are in favor of it being good I think it's rubbish. Check the critical ratings for the all-time best pictures, there aren't any 60s or 70s among them. If people didn't spend on the latest CGI demo reels (Transformers) and demanded quality then there might be more classics.
