    TSWLM: comfortable
    MR: experiment
    FYEO: grounding
    OP: steady
    AVTAK: aging
    TLD: refreshing
    LTK: edgy
    GE: re-discovery

    The QoS haters have grown so unoriginal that all they can post is cussing. Ha. Not a clever argument (because they have none). Not a powerful word that symbolizes their hatred, having been pulled from their vocabulary (because who has time to read a dictionary when all your time is filled with hating QoS?). And no constructive criticism to add (because they only know how to hate).

    Worse stuff is said about other films on this site every single day. Not everybody likes QOS, it doesn't mean they've dedicated their lives to hating it. No need to take it personally.

    I am not taking it personally, it is just annoying when a majority of an individual's posts are about QoS trashing. Say your opinion once, you've said it a thousand times. You don't see me spending my time in the Roger Moore threads tearing his Bond a new one. I say my piece and move on. I expect everyone to be able to do that.

    Die Another Day - Escapist
    Casino Royale - Thrilling
    Quantum of Solace - Hasty
    Skyfall - Triumphant
